An Irish Airman foresees his Death
BY WILLIAM BUTLER YEATS
I know that I shall meet my fate
Somewhere among the clouds above;
Those that I fight I do not hate,
Those that I guard I do not love;
My country is Kiltartan Cross,
My countrymen Kiltartan’s poor,
No likely end could bring them loss
Or leave them happier than before.
Nor law, nor duty bade me fight,
Nor public men, nor cheering crowds,
A lonely impulse of delight
Drove to this tumult in the clouds;
I balanced all, brought all to mind,
The years to come seemed waste of breath,
A waste of breath the years behind
In balance with this life, this death.
InvictusBY WILLIAM ERNEST 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 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.

Customer Reviews
Hard to put down.
A super interesting podcast. I guarantee if you press play, you’ll find yourself listening all the way through. If you’re going through some thing, this is a great way to hear how other people overcame things period. If you have gone through some thing, you might learn from other people ways to cope with that that you haven’t thought of before. If you haven’t gone through anything, count yourself among the few and the lucky and listen anyways cause it’s super interesting.
Real people with real stories
This is an incredibly moving and uplifting podcast. Interviews with real people in the community with the real stories that shaped who they are today. It’s raw and emotional and so relatable. Can’t wait for more episodes!
Soulful truth
I love this podcast! One of my friends recommended this podcast to me yesterday. Mary has such courage and openness in talking about her path through trauma. I was really touched by her strength and honesty. Cant wait to see who she interviews next! A.N. Geneva, IL
