Quote
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.

Quite a guy, Henley. Suffered from TB of the bone early on. Amputated one leg but refused to give up the other.
His friend RLStevenson patterned Long John Silver after him.
His daughter. Was the inspiration of Peter Pan's Wendy.
