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 bludgeoning's of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed...
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captian of my soul .
-William Ernest Henley
