Invictus, Wonderful Poem By WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY
William Ernest Henley (23 August 1849 – 11 July 1903) was a British poet, writer, critic and editor in late Victorian England. Though he wrote several books of poetry, Henley is remembered most often for his 1875 poem "Invictus". A fixture in London literary circles, the one-legged Henley was also the inspiration for Robert Louis Stevenson's character Long John Silver (Treasure Island, 1883), while his young daughter Margaret Henley inspired J. M. Barrie's choice of the name Wendy for the heroine of his play Peter Pan (1904).

An excellent poem, which I have known throughout my long life, but as a man born in Yorkshire in the 1940’s, I find it strange the spelling of the gate, surely as a man who had just had a leg removed and was in illness, he would have written Gait as in how one walks, and nothing to do with a farm gate.
