Last night on Charlie Rose (I Love him by the way!) Morgan Freeman (by the way I want to hug him one day, amazing man), was on. Discussing his role in Invictus. There is a poem in Invictus, directed by Clint Eastwood shares a poem that Nelson Mandela read in moments of needed inspiration. It lead to me Googling and I found it.
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
