The Power Of Poetry - This Poem Kept Mandela Going For Over 20 Years In Prison by TheObserver(m): 7:29am On Oct 01, 2013 |
I came across this poem when i saw a Morgan freeman movie.The invictus. He played Madiba in d movie and ever since i heard this poem naratted in that movie, my thoughts have been much intrepid. Take a dose.... Invictus 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. By William Ernest Henley |
