The Invictus
Hi there!
This is Ackymedes here..got tempted to attempt my hand at blogging after reading thru' some of the other blogs (Cowboy from Hell, The Steppenwolf, Arbit Timepass etc)...With so much of inanity all-around, i guessed one more wudn't hurt anyone :-)..
Wanna know what "Invictus" means? The Invincible. The Unconquered. The one who refuses to submit.
This is derived from a poem 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.
****************************************
Look forward to posting blogs!
