Pit where the buffalo cooled his hide,
By the hot sun emptied, and blistered and dried;
Log in the plume-grass, hidden and lone;
Bund where the earth-rat's mounds are strown;
Cave in the bank where the sly stream steals;
Aloe that stabs at the belly and heels,
Jump if you dare on a steed untried--
Safer it is to go wide-go wide!
Hark, from in front where the best men ride;--
"Pull to the off, boys! Wide! Go wide!"
Rudyard Kipling

The effects of Cupid's arrow it seems Kipling has expressed in this poem! Ah! Go on then!

Interesting, and very well written poem, but I don't understand everything.
The general idea is clear, but what is the description of the general area good for?

This is childish macho nonsense at its worst. It shows a deep fear of women. Such a writer is almost certainly a repressed homosexual.

What is Cupid but a hunter of hearts, whose arrows goes deep and true?
What is love but the hunt of hunts where the dinner of choice is you?
