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. William Ernest Henley, 1875
