Invictus. 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.
That last stanza perfectly describes the nature of the human spirit.
I refuse to live my life on anyone else’s terms but my own.
I dont say this denigrate President Mandela and the beautiful memorial service they are having for him right now...
But if they are not recreating this song for him in some capacity over there TODAY, then they are doing it all wrong. LOL
This is my "step out of the shower, let my nature swing and brush my teeth like Im royalty" song
It really does play in my head every time I do those things in that order.
la minute de silence de Nelson Mandela, par Raymond Depardon
