East is East

Again I heard yesterday a reference to Kipling’s famous words:
"East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet".

But why nobody mentions the next lines that turn this quote upside down:
"But there is neither East nor West, Border, nor Breed, nor Birth,
When two strong men stand face to face, tho' they come from the ends of the earth!
"
