Description

"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

I love it! Red is definitely a great color for you... And I love the color that the direct sun brought out in your eye in this shot... Nice!
