In this vivid lyric, William Ernest Henley captures the mind in joyful motion — music, memory, love, and weather spinning together until thought itself becomes a tune you can’t turn off.

They are the masters of their fates.
They are the captains of their souls.
They are … the doggies in their windows.

Me has hecho recordar a #WilliamErnestHenley en su poema #Invictus…
"Ya no importa cuan estrecho haya sido el camino,
ni cuantos castigos lleve mi espalda,
Soy el amo de mi destino,
Soy el capitán de mi alma"
Buenas tardes, Senda 🍀
"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."

✒ #WilliamErnestHenley, English poet, was #BOTD 23 August 1849. #Literature
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.
