En 1889, alors qu\u2019il avait 23 ans, Rudyard Kipling obtint de Mark Twain, qui en avait alors 54, une interview. Kipling avait lu Twain tandis qu\u2019il \u00e9tait aux Indes et l\u2019\u00e9crivain am\u00e9ricain \u00e9tait son idole. Il fut tellement boulevers\u00e9 par cette rencontre que c\u2019est ainsi qu\u2019il commen\u00e7a son article : <\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"\u00ab\u00a0You are a contemptible lot, over yonder. Some of you are Commissioners, and some Lieutenant-Governors, and some have the V.C., and a few are privileged to walk about the Mall arm in arm with the Viceroy ;\u00a0 <\/span><\/i>but\u00a0I<\/i>\u00a0have seen Mark Twain this golden morning, have shaken his hand, and smoked a cigar\u2014no, two cigars\u2014with him, and talked with him for more than two hours! .\u00a0.\u00a0.Understand clearly that I do not despise you, indeed I don\u2019t. I am only very sorry for you, from the Viceroy downward \u2026\u00a0\u00bb<\/i><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Vous \u00eates une bande m\u00e9prisable, vous l\u00e0-bas. Certains d\u2019entre vous\u00a0 <\/span>sont des Pr\u00e9fets, et certains des vice-gouverneurs, certains ont la Victoria Cross et un petit nombre a le privil\u00e8ge de se promener bras dessus bras dessous avec le Viceroy ; Mais moi<\/strong>, j\u2019ai vu Mark Twain en ce matin b\u00e9ni, je lui ai serr\u00e9 la main, et j\u2019ai fum\u00e9 un cigare \u2014 non, deux cigares \u2014 avec lui, et nous avons parl\u00e9 pendant plus de deux heures. <\/i>Comprenez bien que je ne vous m\u00e9prise pas, assur\u00e9ment non. Je suis juste vraiment d\u00e9sol\u00e9 pour vous, depuis le Viceroy jusqu\u2019en bas\u2026\u00a0\u00bb<\/i><\/p>\n

Voici ce que Twain dira de Kipling un peu plus tard :\"\"<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0He is a stranger to me but is a most remarkable man \u2014 and I am the other one. Between us, we cover all knowledge; he knows all that can be known, and I know the rest.\u00a0\u00bb<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Il est pour moi un inconnu, mais c\u2019est un homme des plus remarquables \u2014 et je suis l\u2019autre. A nous deux, nous couvrons toute la connaissance ; il sait tout ce qu\u2019on peut savoir, et je sais le reste.\u00a0\u00bb<\/i><\/p>\n

Pour moi, qui tente d\u00e9sesp\u00e9r\u00e9ment d\u2019\u00e9crire depuis quelques ann\u00e9es, je retiendrai le conseil que, ce jour-l\u00e0, Twain donna \u00e0 Kipling sur l\u2019\u00e9criture : <\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please.\u00a0\u00bb<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

\u00ab\u00a0Procurez-vous d\u2019abord vos faits, et d\u00e9formez-les ensuite autant qu\u2019il vous plaira.\u00a0\u00bb<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
