: OUT of the night that covers me,<br>    Black as the Pit from pole to pole, <br>  I thank whatever gods may be<br>    For my unconquerable soul.<br>
: In the fell clutch of circumstance<br>          I have not winced nor cried aloud.<br>  Under the bludgeonings of chance<br>    My head is bloody, but unbowed.<br>
: Beyond this place of wrath and tears<br>    Looms but the Horror of the shade,<br>  And yet the menace of the years <br>    Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.<br>
: It matters not how strait the gate,<br>    How charged with punishments the scroll,<br>  I am the master of my fate:<br>  I am the captain of my soul
:: ''Invictus'' by W E Henley
: (Gordon Brown's favourite poem)
