Invictus

Post by GreyWolf »

I thought this might be appropriate.
William Ernest Henley wrote: 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.
"Every normal man must be tempted at times to spit on his hands, hoist that black flag, and begin slitting throats."

He has finally been declared. Sad day. His life will forever inspire and teach.

Thanks for that good turn of phrase Cap - was wondering how to express how I felt.


And I wasn't in Gauteng to go boo Zuma. Damn.

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

The whole thing was embarrassingly below par. When the president of India had the mic taken away from him so the crowd could get a talking too, I nearly facepalmed myself unconscious.

He must not be on medication, because people from deaf associations have seen her interpret on other occasions with an equal lack of proficiency.

/is it wrong that i'm just as angry at the use of the word "vine" to describe a rubbish quality video clip? as bad as those pretentious dimbulbs who insist on referring to audio clips as "podcasts".
