«Invictus»

By 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.

The concept of the "will to power" “Is a central idea in the philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche a 19th-century German thinker. This idea is particularly explored in his work "Thus Spoke Zarathustra" and other philosophical texts. The will to power is not a simple quest for physical power but rather a metaphysical force that governs the entirety of existence according to Nietzsche. Here are some key elements to understand the will to power in Nietzsche: 1. Definition The will to power is the fundamental force that animates all living beings.
