[c=#800000]"And neither the Angels in Heaven, above
Nor the demons down under the sea
Can ever dissever my soul from the soul
Of my beautiful Annabel Lee." Edgar Allan Poe [/c]

"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."

[c=#800000]We didn't get much of a response in here on this question. Best Answer goes to "Invictus," with Honorable Mention to Daughter of the Dust's contribution by John Clare, doctorianr for Second Coming by Yeats and puck61's entry. [/c]
Light breaks where no sun shines;
Where no sea runs, the waters of the heart
Push in their tides;
And, broken ghosts with glow-worms in their heads,
The things of light
File through the flesh where no flesh decks the bones.

“ I snatched the sun's eternal ray
And wrote till earth was but a name
In every language upon earth,
On every shore, o'er every sea,
I give my name immortal birth
And kept my spirit with the free.“
-John Clare

@unknownpoetx Hmmm. Too deep for me.

The darkness drops again but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

@DunningKruger What is this from?
