Here's a snippet of Rudyard #Kipling's #Poem #Pan in #Vermont; Pan, god of #Spring, tricks #Gardeners.

What though his #Phlox & #Hollyhocks are half a month demised?
What though his #Ampelopsis clambered not as advertised?
Though every seed was guaranteed & every standard true –
Forget, forgive they did not live! Believe & buy anew!

But where his goat's hoof cut the crust - #Beloved, look below
He's left us (I'll #Forgive him all) a #Mayflower 'neath the #Snow!

#December 30, 1865
#OTD Rudyard #Kipling, #English #Writer & #Poet, is born.

In 1902, he purchased land called #Batemans in #EastSussex.

After winning the #NobelPrize for #Literature, he spent his #Prize money on his #Garden w/ a #SecretDoor & #Sundial inscribed:
"It's #Later than you think."

Ruddy kept a little boat in his #Pond for his kids; #Friends had adventures there, too.
After some names in the family #Guestbook, Rudyard added the letters F.I.P. for Fell in Pool. 💦😂
