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

“ফিরে এল হারানো কবিতা”
ছোট বেলায় যখন আমি ক্লাস ওয়ান কি টু তে পড়ি, আব্বা প্রায়ই কবিতাটা বিড় বিড় করে আবৃত্তি করতেন। আমি তাঁর ভরাট কন্ঠে আবৃত্তি শুনতাম মন্ত্রমুগ্ধের মত। অর্থও জিজ্ঞাসা করতাম না। বুঝতামও না।
আস্তে আস্তে বড় হলাম। সময় আর বয়সের ঠেলায় আব্বাও আর আবৃত্তি করেন না। কবিতাটাও কালক্রমে হারিয়ে গেল আমার স্মৃতি থেকে।
হঠাৎ সেদিন Nelson Mandela’র জীবননির্ভর মুভি Invictus দেখার সময় Morgan Freeman এর কন্ঠে কবিতাটা শুনেই আঁতকে উঠলাম। এটাই সেই কবিতা, যা ম্যান্ডেলাকে তাঁর কারারুদ্ধ ২৭ বছরের জীবনে অনুপ্রেরণা যুগিয়েছিল প্রবলভাবে। নেট থেকে সাথে সাথে নামিয়ে পড়ে ফেললাম।
কবিতাটি গত কয়েকদিনে অন্তত শ'খানেক বার পড়া হয়ে গেছে ইতোমধ্যে।
যতবারই পড়ি না কেন, ততবারই নতুনভাবে অনুপ্রেরণা পাই কনফিডেন্টলি বেঁচে থাকার। এগিয়ে চলার।
ফিরে এল ঝরা কবিতা। আমার শৈশবের হারিয়ে যাওয়া কবিতা। সত্যিই,
We are the masters of our fate:
We are the captains of our soul.
Really...

P.S.: I've changed my screen name from 'Poet of the Fall' to 'Invictus'. Apologizing for the confusion.

Part 1 of 2 in a meta series on the theme of "being alone in a crowd." This half is about seeking solitude, the other is about loneliness.
For me solitude implies choosing to be alone, choosing to stand out from the crowd.

President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy spoke via a video call with members of the Invictus Games - Ukraine team who are now in The Hague to take part in the Invictus Games international sports competition.
Most of the members of the team are current servicemen who defend Ukraine in the Armed Forces, the National Guard, the territorial defense and other structures of the security and defense sector. 19 Ukrainian athletes - defenders will compete with 500 veterans and servicemen from 18 NATO and Allied countries.
"It is an honor for us that you represent Ukraine. I believe that Ukraine is each of you. If you represent our country in The Hague today at the Invictus Games, you will show that Ukraine is unconquered," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The President noted that Russia's full-scale aggression against Ukraine, which is being rebuffed by our army, has been going on for 50 days. Today, Ukraine is one of the strongest states in the world, and Ukrainians are invincible.
"Victory is important for us, it is important to prove that we are all unconquered. And your team is part of the spirit of indomitability of Ukraine, the Ukrainian people and each of us," the Head of State is convinced.
As Volodymyr Zelenskyy noted, the Ukrainian team of the Invictus Games is a reflection of our state - "different people, but all strong, united for the sake of the result."
"The only result is victory," he said.
The Head of State together with Ukrainian athletes honored the memory of the coach of the archery team, ATO veteran since 2014 Dmytro Sydoruk who died in the battle for Ukraine in early April.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy also noted that the world needs to know the story of a paramedic volunteer, a member of the national team Yulia Payevska (nicknamed "Tayra"), who is currently being held captive by the Russian occupiers.
"This sip of freedom, which you can give with your participation, victories and stories about what is happening on our beautiful land and what tragedy the enemy has brought, - I think she will definitely get this sip. Because you will tell about her to journalists, media and other athletes. And you will tell not only with words, but first of all with victory," the Head of State emphasized.
The President called on Ukrainian athletes to do everything possible to ensure that people in The Hague, where the Invictus Games take place, learn more about all the crimes committed by Russian troops in Ukraine.
"In The Hague today, you will basically fight for the Russian occupiers and all those who deserve that to be in The Hague in due time. Because what they did is a crime against the people, against the people of Ukraine," Volodymyr Zelenskyy said.
The members of the team told the Head of State that they are determined to win the competition to show the indomitability of our Homeland. They stressed that in communication with athletes from other countries they tell the truth about the horrible events taking place in Ukraine.
The President wished the Invictus Games - Ukraine team great victories.

EN LA NOCHE KE ME ENVUELVE,
NEGRA, COMO UN POZO INSONDABLE,
DOY GRACIAS AL DIOS KE FUERE
POR MI ALMA INCONQUISTABLE.
EN LAS GARRAS DE LAS CIRCUNSTANCIAS,
NO HE GEMIDO, NI LLORADO...
ANTE LAS PUÑALADAS DEL AZAR,
SI BIEN HE SANGRADO, JAMAS ME HE POSTRADO.
MÁS ALLÁ DE ESTE LUGAR DE IRA Y LLANTOS,
ACECHA LA OSCURIDAD CON SU HORROR.
NO OBSTANTE LA AMENAZA DE LOS AÑOS ME HALLA,
Y ME HALLARÁ SIN TEMOR.
YA NO IMPORTA CUAN RECTO HAYA SIDO EL CAMINO,
NI CUANTOS CASTIGOS LLEVE A LA ESPALDA:
SOY EL AMO DE MI DESTINO,
SOY EL CAPITÁN DE MI ALMA.
" El aleteo de las alas de una mariposa se puede sentir al otro lado del mundo..."
Prinz Harry von Wales (mi) mit deutschen Fans bei den Invictus Games 2016 in Orlando, Florida, am 09.05.2016.
