[cl...] Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 This is a poem that I recite to myself during my most difficult times of life and my taper. Invictus BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond this place of wrath and tears Looms but the Horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds and shall find me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate, I am the captain of my soul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[pi...] Posted July 6, 2020 Share Posted July 6, 2020 its much more beautiful here read in quiet solitude than in the movie. I hate that Hollywood attaches their trash to all the great art and fiction of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
