NATURAL THEOLOGY

Rudyard Kipling

I ate my fill of a whale that died, And stranded after a month at sea.... There is a pain in my inside. Why have the Gods afflicted me?

Ow! I am purged till I am a wraith! Wow! I am sick till I cannot see! What is the sense of Religion and Faith? Look how the Gods have afflicted me!
