“ “Oh, East is East, and West is West, Oh, East is East, and West is West, and never the twain shall meet” and never the twain shall meet”
Rudyard Kipling, The Ballad of East and West, 1889 Rudyard Kipling, The Ballad of East and West, 1889
Two things which are so different as to have no
Twain derives from the Old English twegen, meaning two. The phrase “never the twain shall meet” was used by Rudyard Kipling, in The Ballad of East and West (1889):
"Oh, East is East, and West is West,
and never the twain shall meet."
There, Kipling is supposedly lamenting the misunderstandings between the British and the inhabitants of the Indian subcontinent.

Quoting Kipling
Oh, East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet, Till Earth and Sky stand presently at God's great Judgment 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!
