William Ernest Henley 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. (What a thoroughly brave statement! Yes, life is hard. But I am a stoic! I will not choose to give in! Invictus means unconquered. What makes this poem even more powerful is that the author lived it! He is not just telling YOU how to live, he is telling himself as well. During the 1880s and 1890s Henley was the editor of the "National Observer" and other London periodicals and he was very well regarded in literary circles. He courageously confronted his crippling physical pain caused by tuberculosis of the bone. When someone who disagrees with you also admires you, then you know that the admiration is doubly significant.

Edit this page William Ernest Henley William Ernest Henley August 23 ) was a British poet critic and editor text Larger Version Henley was born at Gloucester and educated at the Crypt Grammar School. The school was a poor relation of the Cathedral School, and Henley indicated its shortcomings in his article ( Pall Mall Magazine , Nov. 1900) on TE Brown the poet, who was headmaster there for a brief period. Brown's appointment was a stroke of luck for Henley, for whom it represented a first acquaintance with a man of genius. "He was singularly kind to me at a moment when I needed kindness even more than I needed encouragement." Brown did him the essential service of lending him books. Henley was no classical scholar, but his knowledge and love of literature were vital. After suffering tuberculosis as a boy, he found himself, in 1874, aged twenty-five, an inmate of the hospital at Edinburgh . From there he sent to the Cornhill Magazine poems in irregulai rhythms, describing with poignant force his experiences in hospital.

The smoke ascends In a rosy-and-golden haze. The spires Shine and are changed. In the valley Shadows rise. The lark sings on.

56. Invictus by William Ernest Henley; 18491903 ~ (another Orwellian parallel is that Orwelllived in Henley and was born in 1903) http://www.orwelltoday.com/invictus.shtml

TIMOTHY MCVEIGH'S LAST WORDS On the morning of his execution on Monday, June 11th, 2001 Timothy McVeigh didn't speak but instead communicated through a poem which was read aloud at the press conference after his death. The name of the poem, Invictus , means Undefeated , in Latin. It was written in the 19th century to express what the author endured over a twenty month period in an infirmary where he was being treated for tuberculosis and arthritis (similar to Orwell writing "1984" while suffering the ravages of tuberculosis). There can be no doubt that Timothy McVeigh suffered mental, emotional, physical and spiritual anquish during his six years of solitary confinement in the various prisons of the Ministry of Love (Torture). The poem is a celebration of the human spirit. ~ Jackie Jura 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.

Collins, Thomas J. (University of Western Ontario, and Vivienne Rundle (University of Calgary), eds. The Broadview Anthology of Victorian Poetry and Poetic Theory Broadview, 1999, 1492 pp., ISBN 1-55111-100-4, $35.95 Description: The Broadview Anthology of Victorian Poetry and Poetic Theory is the most comprehensive collection of poetry from the period ever published. Included are generous selections from the work of all major poets, and a representation of the work of virtually every poet of significance, from Thomas Ashe at the beginning of the era to Charlotte Mew at its end. The work of Victorian women poets features very prominently, with extensive selections not only of the work of canonical poets such as Elizabeth Barrett Browning and Christina Rossetti, but also of that of poets such as Augusta Webster for which high claims have recently been made by critics. The anthology reflects (and will contributed to) the ongoing reassessment of the canon that is central to English Studies today; in all sixty-six poets are represented. The editors have included complete works wherever feasible including the complete texts of Tennyson's In Memoriam and of a number of other long poems. A headnote by the editors introduces the work of each poet, and each selection has been newly annotated.
