William Ernest Henley Invictus O UT 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.

Extractions: William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) Thanks to Nelson Miller for sending along this sequence of sonnets (Henley himself referred to them as "quatorzains") and one concluding non-sonnet written in 1898 to accompany a series of paintings of London street life by William Nicholson at Nicholson's request. He's called The General from the brazen craft And dash with which he sneaks a bit of road And all its fares; challenged, or chafed, or chaffed, Back-answers of the newest he'll explode; He reins his horses with an air; he treats With scoffing calm whatever powers there be; He gets it straight , puts a bit on , and meets His losses with both lip s. d. He arrogates a special taste in short Is loftily grateful for a flagrant smoke At all the smarter housemaids winks his court, And taps them for half-crowns; being stoney-broke Lives lustily; is ever on the make And hath, I fear, none other gods but Fake Joy of the Milliner, Envy of the Line
Extractions: Henley was born at Gloucester and was the eldest of a family of six, five sons and a daughter. His father, William, was a bookseller and stationer who died in 1868 leaving young children and creditors. His mother, Mary Morgan, was descended from the poet and critic, Joseph Warton. From 1861-67 Henley was a pupil at the Crypt Grammar School (founded 1539). A Commission had recently attempted to revive the school by securing the brilliant and academically distinguished T. E. Brown (1830-1897) as headmaster. Brown's appointment was short-lived (c.1857-63) but was a 'revelation' for Henley because it introduced him to a poet and 'man of genius - the first I'd ever seen'. This was the start of a lifelong friendship and Henley wrote a glowing memorial to Brown in the New Review (December, 1897): "He was singularly kind to me at a moment when I needed kindness even more than I needed encouragement".[1]
