Another quote from the 1880s

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 no winced nor cried aloud;
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

William Ernest Henley
