Mr. Keskar,
I found your name on the Kipling Society website. I know that this is a
strange request, but I was wondering if you could help me. I am trying
toidentify the source of the quotation below. My grandfather used to repeat
it often, and now he can no longer remember where it comes from. He believes
that it might be Kipling, but he is not sure. I have tried to find it by
searching online poetry archives, but I have not been successful. It would
mean so much to my grandfather if I found the original poem for him.
I know that you must be very busy, but if you could take a moment and look
at this, I would be most appreciative.
Thank you.
Best wishes, Ann Weinerman
Dare all, do what you can,
let fate itself find you no slave,
make death salute you at the grave
and say here comes a man

Subject: Re: Fw: Quotation Source
Dear John/Ann Weinerman
That was quite a challenge. Your grandfather thinks the quote is Kipling.I
wouldn't be surprised if it was Scott,
Longfellow ot Kingsley. Fascinating.But I can't seem to trace it. If you
should find out do tell me. The nearest I got was:
I dare do all that may become a man;
Who dares do more, is none.
But that's Shakespeare, but it might be the original inspiration. Good
wishes, Sharad
