Seen any good movies?

It was impossible to talk about Invictus after watching the film, despite the fact that Dr. Colglazier billed our screening as a "film discussion."
A story so beautifully rendered and filled with emotion left me craving silence and the company of my own thoughts.
Highly recommended.

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.

William Ernest Henley
