I thought he said i am the master of my paint... since in a verse before he says "i paint whatever gods may be"...

First poem I have ever really liked.

I seen this movie recently and thought it inspirational and memorable, not least the scenes at Robben Island. As Francois (Matt) passes the quarry he catches the ghostly image of Mandela (Morgan) labouring, The futility, eternity and burdon of those years are portrayed on the face of Mandela perfectly by Morgan, it is a profound and haunting look. What Mandela went through and to come out forgiving is amazing and the mark of a great man.

I learned this poem for my English class at my teacher's suggestion. 1958, I was in 7th year Junior High School. I still remember every word without prompting. Its meaning became more evident the older I grew. It is funny because until this film I seemed to be the only one who had every heard of this verse or Mr. Henley. To fulfill the last two lines one must free oneself of capitalism, the global market and corporate tyranny.
