Tired by waiting
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting
Why Rudyard Kipling used the preposition "by"instead of "of"? What the difference?
This from Kipling's poem If:
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Tired by waiting means exhaustion caused by waiting. Tired of waiting means to have lost patience because of the wait.
