I thank whatever gods may be

Additional quotes by William Ernest Henley

I captain an army Of shining and generous dreams

Master of masters,
O maker of heroes,
Thunder the brave,
Irresistible message:
'Life is worth living
Through every grain of it
From the foundations
To the last edge
Of the cornerstone, death.

Dear, was it really you and I?
In truth the riddle's ill to read,
So many are the deaths we die
Before we can be dead indeed.

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. - William Ernest Henley
