无可征服
作者:威廉•亨利
翻译:Tulip
夜色掩埋我,漆黑漫无边。
感恩天意我,灵魂磐石坚。
纵然处穷境,含泪藏深仇。
坦然对恶命,流血不低头。
恐怖似阴霾,激怒疆土泪。
岁月似惊骇,依然大无畏。
无论门多窄,受辱度沧桑,
命运我主宰,灵魂由我掌。

Invictus
By William Henley
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 or 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 is the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
