QUOTATION:	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. 1

Note 1.
Arise, O Soul, and gird thee up anew,
Though the black camel Death kneel at thy gate;
No beggar thou that thou for alms shouldst sue:
Be the proud captain still of thine own fate.
James Benjamin Kenyon. [back]
