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. 1849–1903
I needed to re-read this tonight. It reminds me of possibilities and of walking into the future unafraid and in charge.
This is the personal fighter of spacer Jax Redbird, my sig fig. Whether it's used to destroy navies or tow asteroids, the Invictus is tough, dependable and practical. Jax spends a lot of time making it work just right, and occasionally adds on new parts as technology improves. She's old, but she can beat whatever's rolling off of the assembly lines today.
This ship hasn't changed much since 2009 and even though my skills have improved, I still think of the Invictus as my favorite.

Dal profondo della notte che mi avvolge
buia come il pozzo più profondo che va da un polo all'altro,
ringrazio qualunque dio esista
per l'indomabile anima mia.
Nella feroce morsa delle circostanze
non mi sono tirato indietro né ho gridato per l'angoscia.
Sotto i colpi d'ascia della sorte
il mio capo è sanguinante, ma indomito.
Oltre questo luogo di collera e lacrime
incombe solo l'Orrore delle ombre
eppure la minaccia degli anni
mi trova, e mi troverà , senza paura.
Non importa quanto sia stretta la porta,
quanto piena di castighi la vita.
Io sono il padrone del mio destino:
io sono il capitano della mia anima.
William Ernest Henley
