UNCOMMON QUOTES--VI

This quote is a little different from others in the sense that while a part of this quote is well known and as such cannot be classified as uncommon,the other part of the same quote is relatively less said and to this extent can be classified as uncommon.

Besides while the first part of this quote,which is not so uncommon,leads to a certain conclusion,the same becomes just the opposite when the second part of the quote is read and both parts together are considered before concluding.

In the light of what is mentioned above the entire quote seen in totality can be classified as uncommon Quote.The original quote titled 'BALLAD OF EAST AND WEST' reads as follows:

"Oh East Is East And West Is West
And Never The Twain Shall Meet
Till Earth And Sky Stand Presently
At God's Great Judgement Seat

But There Is Neither East Nor West
Border Nor Breed Nor Birth
When Two Strong Men Stand Face To Face
Though They Come From The Ends Of The Earth".
