Savagery

[fodders]

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.

Long Live Doom

Very cool.

Damn, that's better than Thomas Chipsey Day Care Nursery's attempt...ahem.

Nice poem... But please, no more poems on this forum.

Did he really say "Long Live Doom" ???
It isn't part of the original poem...

I am assuming they censored that bit, or he would have if he had not had something else on his mind :)

I just saw a scan of the hand-written letter. He did not write "Long Live Doom". That would have been all we'd need : )
