“My body takes on sadness the way lily pollen stains everything. / Accidentally, gently, permanently.”

Carved in Stone – Invictus

♫ 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...♫

 Invictus  —William Ernest Henley

“I were but the west wind, I would follow you; Cross a hundred hills to find Your world of green and blue; In your pine wood linger, Whisper to you there Stories old and strange, and finger Softly your bright hair.”

— Sophie Jewett, from A Song in Summer; The Poems of S.J., 1910
