Invictus by W.E. Henley

🔰This was Nelson Mandela's favorite poem so it has a special place in our history. This channel has been "accused" of having a sad vibe, I guess most of the videos have a melancholic feel to them due to my personality. This poem and this edit are definitely more hopeful and I will grasp this opportunity to state, all I ever tried to express is that "it's ok to be sad" sometimes but the point is to survive the dark days. Be unbowed unafraid and unconquerable.
-Love, illneas

Invictus
BY WILLIAM ERNEST HENLEY
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.

Its the voice that makes these poems more piercing.

I love how people artistically 'paint' with words. It means so much more for me.

That broken crib and pomegranates....those scenes were hauntingly beautiful

[danimonyo]

I was really waiting for a good version of Invictus but couldn't find any, thank you for your work

[a.l_caneli]

!!! It was!!! So good!!! "I am the master of my fate" this line!!! With the pomegranates!! I want to scream! The music, the images, the voice - it was all amazing! My heart is beating super fast, I both want to cry and laugh at the top of my lungs - I looove this feeling of feeling too much because of a piece of art, thank you so much for this!

William suffered from fatal illness since his childhood I think thats what make this poetry more inspiring.

[Gabriel-seel]

I love the way you choose the perfect tune or melody to go with the mood. I'd love you to upload more frequently and use other narrators also if you want.
Thank you for this channel, its a breath of fresh air in a hectic out of control online world.
Much love

Úžasné!!

Nic pro ty vaše loutky, co si váma nechávají dobrovolně díky své slabosti ničit život...

Navzdory všemu vás stále nechávám ničit ten můj, přestože se tolik let tak moc snažíte...

A můžete si plácat ty svoje nesmysly o tom, jak lidem pomáháte...

Vidím, že nepomáháte...

Zanecháváte jenom spoušť a ve své slepotě jste falešné přesvědčení o své nadřazenosti.

Don't you hover down, mister! You are the light that beacons the truth. People consider sadness to misfortune, but never to growth. Oh. What a colorful world they live in

[juanfigueroa]

Thanks for the good vibes during the darkness days. Nicely done.

"my head is bloody yet unbowed."

[manavdahra]

I came across this poem when I was going through some tough times. This poem and some of the writings of Marcus Aurelius are reason I was able to bounce back. Your channel and the content is awesome. 👍🏻
