Invincible
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 5
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, 10
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 have heard a lot about Invictus. Is it out in the theaters here? would love to watch it.
lol
Darude, sorry... i was talking about the movie Invictus, where nelson/morgan recited that poem :)
...listen to the sound of silence....
Its a beautiful poem. It's called "Invictus" if I am not wrong. Good choice :-)
"The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it"
didnt any one tell you that there is a poetry and poet group where you can post such poems.
