Hospital Poet Hospital Poems by William Ernest Henley From The Cornhill Magazine Vol 32 1875 pp 120-128 Based on Royal Infirmary Edinburgh 18 Short Poems Hospital Outlines - Sketches and Portraits. Sketches First Impressions Waiting The Ward ... Poems in Hospital Series Sketches I First Impressions The mist of morn still drapes the clattering street, The northern summer air is dank and cold, And, lo, the Hospital - grey, quiet, old; My only hope, the Art's best loved retreat. Through the loud emptiness and airy gloom, A small, strange child, so old and yet so young ! Her little arm besplinted and beslung, Precedes me gravely to the waiting room. Sequent I limp - my confidence is gone; The grey-haired soldier-porter bids me on, And on I limp, and still my spirits fail: A tragic meanness seeming to environ These corridors and stairs of stone and iron, Chill, gaunt, and clean - half workhouse and half jail. II Waiting A square, squat room that stinks of drugs and dust, The walls and atmosphere a brownish drab. The floor is foul; fair is the dressing-slab With spotless lint, and tinware pure of rust.

W. E. Henley Henley was born on 23 August 1849 in Gloucester (England) and suffered tuberculosis as a boy, eventually resulting in the amputation of a leg and twenty months' recuperation in Edinburgh Infirmary (1873-75), where he wrote a number of free-verse poems which established his reputation and were included in "A Book of Verses" (1888). His physical incapacitation left another literary legacy in the form of Long John Silver, the peg-legged character created by Henley's Edinburgh friend Robert Louis Stevenson in "Treasure Island" (1883). Henley and Stevenson collaborated on four plays: "Deacon Brodie" (1880), "Beau Austin" (1884), "Admiral Guinea" (1884), and "Macaire" (1885). His other poetry collections include "The Song of the Sword" (1892), "London Voluntaries" (1893), "Collected Poems" (1898), "Hawthorn and Lavender" (1901) and "In Hospital" (1903). This last includes his best-known poem, "Invictus" (written 1875), which ends: 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.

William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) Thanks to Nelson Miller for sending along this sequence of sonnets (Henley himself referred to them as "quatorzains") and one concluding non-sonnet written in 1898 to accompany a series of paintings of London street life by William Nicholson at Nicholson's request.

'Bus Driver He's called The General from the brazen craft And dash with which he sneaks a bit of road And all its fares; challenged, or chafed, or chaffed, Back-answers of the newest he'll explode; He reins his horses with an air; he treats With scoffing calm whatever powers there be; He gets it straight , puts a bit on , and meets His losses with both lip s. d.

The Victorian Sonnet Much poetry of the Victorian period is no longer very highly esteemed, for reasons that seem apparent after reading a number of sonnetsa sentimental self-indulgence and what F. R. Leavis called an "inferiority, in rigour and force, of intellectual content." Yet, when looked at individually, the poems are often graceful and moving, and their worst, most conventional excesses seem no more ridiculous than the stock courtly love sequences of the 16th and 17th centuries. Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861), who wrote Sonnets from the Portuguese to her husband ( Robert Browning (1812-1889)), is probably the most genuinely popular (and critically maligned) sonneteer of this period. Other British Victorian writers included here are Thomas Hood Charles Tennyson Turner (1808-1879), and his more famous brother, Alfred, Lord Tennyson Matthew Arnold (1822-1888), best known for "Dover Beach," wrote several sonnets. George Meredith (1828-1909) wrote a lengthy sequence, Modern Love , about the ruin of his marriage. Although the sequence consisted of rhymed sixteen-line iambic pentameter poems, ever since the poet and critic Algernon Charles Swinburne (1837-1909) praised these poems as sonnets (and Meredith used the term himself in Sonnet 30 ), they have been widely accepted as specimens of the form. In addition to Meredith and Swinburne, the late 19th century

var site="s19sk2kgso" Invictus (Out of the night that covers me........) By William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) Biography 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.
