Every minute, every hour, every day, living with this code of quote. No sudden underlying rhymes with the sentence “code of quote”. My promise, period. This quote, taken from the poet “Invictus” by William Ernest Henley, a Victorian as my friend suddenly mentions that. I totally have no clue what a Victorian really is.
So I researched about what Victorian truly mean, Victorian as per describe, a person from the Victorian era (too obvious, skip). Generally, Victorian era is the golden era where Great Britain had been flourish in long-lived peace, prosperity and increased national confidence under the supremacy of Queen Victoria (hence the name of Victoria era, god save the queen). Then there’s William Ernest Henley, born in 23rd of August, 1849, wrote about a short poem and called it “Invictus” soon afterwards.
Invictus, Latin word for unconquered. Speaks for itself in many ways. The author, wrote this in 1875 to stay awake from his long endured, dark periods of life. Hardships and sufferings were indescribably harsh, his impoverished life as a child, his leg amputated as a sacrifice in battling with tuberculosis.

I know it won’t be mind-boggling for some, but it certainly done the job to upkeep my soul for another day. Or this life on its mercy.

To behold any future possibilities, I’m the one there to receive it, to manipulate and to own as learnt in the quote. There’s no one there but only yourself. No matter how trashy, how bloody the route I’ve undertaken, I shall take the quote along with me, so long be it buried with me in my sacrifices. I’m no satire, but the quote has that deep, profound meaning in my life. Why do I take it along with me if it’s not describing about
