So, I went with a couple of girlfriends last night to see Invictus at the Odeon. I’m not 100% sure what I expected, but whatever it was, the movie definitely exceeded my expectations. The couldn’t have cast the film better! It was so spot on, and the poem (the movie’s namesake) is amazing and inspiring so I thought I’d share it here for everyone else to read.
| 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 Beyond this place of wrath and tears It matters not how strait the gate, |
[William Ernest Henley]
I am the master of my fate; I am the captain of my soul.
I think that’s something that we would all do well to keep in mind.
