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 vinced nor cried aloud
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed

Beyond these 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 punishements the scroll
I am the master of my fate
I am the captain of my soul


William Henley


* A propósito do filme Invictus, não resisto a deixar aqui o poema (belíssimo!) que lhe deu título. Ouvi-lo pela voz de Morgan Freeman é simplesmente maravilhoso e comovente! Lindo, lindo, lindo...
