Ritual Calling of the Engineer (Rudyard Kipling)-1922-Canadaian Iron Ring
-
​THE IRON RING: "It is rough as the mind of the young. It is not smoothed at the edges, any more than the character of the young. It is hand-hammered all around and the young have their hammerings coming to them. It has neither beginning nor end, any more than the work of an engineer, or as we know, space itself. It will cut into a gold ring if worn next to it: thus showing that one had better keep one's money-getting quite separate." ~Rudyard Kipling
