Table of Contents Previous Chapter Next Chapter 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 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. A LATE lark twitters from the quiet skies: And from the west, Lingers as in content, There falls on the old, gray city An influence luminous and serene, A shining peace. The smoke ascends In a rosy-and-golden haze. The spires Shine and are changed. In the valley Shadows rise. The lark sings on. The sun, Closing his benediction, Sinks, and the darkening air Night with her train of stars And her great gift of sleep. So be my passing! My wages taken, and in my heart

The Writer's E-Zine Home Healthy Horizons Laurie Lupold Visions Silence drifted across America this day. Many hundreds gathered behind a window to watch what might have been one of the most important events in my time. Some called it justice, others called it sad. I call it an opportunity to look within ourselves as a nation and see what we all can do so that tragedies like this never happen again. I far from admired this man, Tim McVeigh. He was arrogant, manipulative and heartless in many ways. Though a part of me agreed that the way things were handled in the Waco Texas crisis was slaughter to say the least, I did not applaud McVeigh's attempt at retaliation. He saw himself as a one-man jury casting punishment over hundreds. Like many others, I watched the news coverage of this final event unfolding. I listened as one man pleaded that it was the divorce of McVeigh's parents that made him go to such lengths; yet, in the same program, I heard what a bright, happy child he had been. But somewhere things changed. Whatever reason we might find for such severe actions, Timothy McVeigh succeeded in one thing that I feel was very important to him. He would NEVER be forgotten. My emotions have shifted from many forms and altitudes since the day of the bombing. Things became quiet and I suppose my mind grew quiet with it, for moments forgetting those people who lost their lives as well as the loved ones who miss them. Only when the news focused on McVeigh was I reminded of all those lost.

"If" by Rudyard Kipling Invictus by William Ernest Henley; 1849-1903 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. The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, 1874-1963 Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both And be one traveler, long I stood And looked down one as far as I could To where it bent in the undergrowth. Then took the other, as just as fair, And having perhaps the better claim, Because it was grassy and wanted wear; Though as for that the passing there Had worn them really about the same, And both that morning equally lay In leaves no step had trodden black.

59. The Graphic Heroines 96). Accompanying each portrait is a brief narrative outline of theplay written by William Ernest Henley (18491903). The texts http://www.emory.edu/ENGLISH/classes/Shakespeare_Illustrated/Graphic.html

The Graphic and Shakespeare's Heroines The weekly newspaper the Graphic commissioned twenty-one studies of Shakespeare's heroines that were exhibited in London in 1888. The Graphic frequently published pictures of beautiful womenunder the inspirational guise of "ideal beauty"and had previously commissioned a number of English artists "to portray his idea of female beauty." The review in the Art Journal of 1889 suggests that it was the success of this earlier venture that "prompted them to elicit once more the opinions of our artists upon the subject; this time, however, narrowing the selection to the HEROINES OF SHAKESPEARE" (51:95). The Art Journal was not enthusiastic about Shakespeare's Heroines ; first of all, the reviewer questions the way in which the project was conceived: Now to commission an artist to paint a picture is usually a dangerous proceeding, so far as a successful result is concerned; still more so is it when the subject is not of his own selection; for an artist of talent cannot conjure up his visions at will, or upon the spur of the moment say that such and such are the lineaments with which he would portray his Juliet or his Cordelia; hence it is that one so often finds that the result is merely a dressing up in a new garb of the most attractive model obtainable at the moment. When the completed "studies," as they are called, of the Heroines, were shown last year in London, this was certainly apparent in more than one instance (96). Twenty-one ideal portraits are given by as many of our principal painters. The President of the Academy [Frederick Leighton] has selected Desdemona; Mr. Alma Tadema, Portia (wife of Brutus); and Mrs. Alma Tadema, Katherine of France. The most entirely satisfactory renderings seem to be Mr. Woods's Portia, Mr. Phil. Morris's Audrey, and Mr. Prinsep's Mariana; but it is evident that in many cases the pictures have suffered at the hands of the reproducers, for Mr. Calderon, for instance, could never have given to Juliet the dirty hands which here she displays, or Mr. Perugini have modelled such a cheek and neck as his Silvia possesses; the consort of Brutus, too, is decked in the sootiest of garments, and her figure retreats behind the trees which are many yards away. The process has been more fortunate in other cases, but it is never worthy of the house whose name it bears (96).
