INVICTUS....

Yeasterday I saw a beautiful movie.

INVICTUS...

now Invictus is also a poem William Henely and the meaning of the poem is shown very beautifully in the movie.
The movie itself is based on true story staged in SOUTH AFRICA during the presidential tenure of Nelson Mandela. It shows how Nelson Mandela used his team to set an example for his people and to unite his country. A great movie to watch. For me its somehow inspiring, specially the last two lines of poem which goes in the background.

"I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul."

I am pasting the poem under for u all to read so may be any one of you could also find it good for them...

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.

William Ernest Henley
