Here is the Kipling verse that you seek: "Ride with an idle whip, ride with an unused heel. But, once in a way, there will come a day When the colt must be taught to feel The lash that falls, and the curb that galls, And the sting of the rowelled steel." This verse prefaces the story "The Conversion of Aurelian McGoggin," which is Chapter 13 of Kipling's "Plain Tales from the Hills." World Wide School: Chapter XIII, The Conversion of Aurelian McGoggin http://www.worldwideschool.com/library/books/lit/shortstories/PlainTalesfromtheHills/chap13.html When I'm seeking a complete quotation from a fragment, I usually begin my search by choosing a representative sample as a search string. In this case, I selected the line "when the colt must be taught to feel," which led me to the source material that provided the rest of the verse. Google search strategy: Google Web Search: "when the colt must be taught to feel" ://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&q=%22when+the+colt+must+be+taught+to+feel I hope this helps. If anything is unclear, please request clarification; I'll gladly offer further assistance before you rate my answer. Best regards, pinkfreud |

What's the beginning of it? Put what you have into Google, maybe just the keywords you're absolutely sure of, and see what happens. Apteryx (not a researcher) |

Hi, Pink-- I looked it up, too, and read the whole story, which was one I'd never seen before. Then I tried to find something that would tell me what "beany" means in this context, but I couldn't turn it up. Just wondering if any of Kipling's countrymen might know. (Yoo-hoo, Bryan?) Tryx |

Tryx, I seem to recall having seen "beany" in the sense of "balmy" or "buggy" (i.e. nutty, flaky, wacko) in one of P.G. Wodehouse's novels. I don't think it was a Jeeves tale. Perhaps one of the Psmith stories. Wish I had a Wodehouse concordance. ~Pink |
