INVICTUS

Recently been to the movies and caught a show that somewhat resembled "The miracle" (I have not watched The Miracle anyway, but I guess it'll be alike assuming their sports inspiring storyline), Invictus. I've got good reviews for the show in terms of inspiration, however, if you're seeking action, romance, comedy; I'm sorry but you're in the wrong theather. Personally, I found the show extremely inspiring and I've found the show pretty touching in terms of watching people fight for their dreams and so on. That's why for once, I've decided to blog a little on the show after finding the poem so often quoted in the show. Enjoy~

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.
