About
INVICTUS (Unconquerable)
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 gait,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.
This blog is a journal of the places and faces I come across as I journey through life and across the globe. I’ve constructed these pages in August of 2009 and have transferred those pages that have to do with my travels from various other blogs I used to keep.
To see my former blog which is now being managed and run by someone else but which still contains all of my original posts, you can visit Poor Vago’s Almanack.
Please pardon any formatting errors that may have taken place during the transfer. Any posts from August 10, 2009 and onward are exclusive to this blog, those in the archives before that are either from other blogs I have maintained or resurrected from my journals and photos of past voyages.
You may have once known me by another name, but that name is no longer what I wish to be known as. Call me Vago, Vago the Vagabond. I am unconquered and unconquerable.
