Invictus

By William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) Break


free from my fetters, my dark night is
like hell, the whole world is swallowed by hell,
thanks to the many indescribable gods for
giving me an unyielding soul,

even if
I suffer thousands of ravages, I will not shrink back or cry
in fate again and again once under tease
me badly beaten but refused to yield

in this land bathed in tears of rage and
looming shadow of terror
danger lingers for years, although
I was not afraid of timeless

no matter how narrow doors
regardless of How
did the punishment regulations change? My destiny is still controlled by myself,
my soul is still guided by myself

    Through the night that covers me, I see layers of bottomless darkness. Thank God for giving me. Even if the unconquerable soul is held tightly by hell, I will not shrink or scream. After wave after wave of blows, my head is full of blood and not bowing. Outside this world full of anger and tears, the shadow of terror is wandering and there are threats to the future. But I am not afraid no matter how narrow the door I will pass through

Invictus quotes

  • Etienne Feyder: Well, you know what they say about soccer. It's a gentleman's game played by hooligans. On the other hand, rugby is a hooligan's game played by gentlemen.

    Linga Moonsamy: Ja, ja, ja, I heard that one before. And it wasn't funny the first time.

  • Etienne Feyder: Mr. Jason Tshabalala?

    Jason Tshabalala: That's me. Am I under arrest?

    Etienne Feyder: Captain Feyder and team reporting for duty, sir.

    Jason Tshabalala: What duty?

    Etienne Feyder: We're the presidential bodyguard. We've been assigned to this office. Here are our orders.

    [holds out a booklet for Jason to look at]

    Linga Moonsamy: You're Special Branch, right?

    Etienne Feyder: You'll see that they've been signed.

    Jason Tshabalala: Well, I don't care if they've been signed...

    [sees Mandela's signature]

    Jason Tshabalala: Just wait here.

    [goes to see Mandela]
