I AM THE REAPER by: William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) AM the Reaper. All things with heedful hook Silent I gather. Pale roses touched with the spring, Tall corn in summer, Fruits rich with autumn, and frail winter blossoms Reaping, still reaping All things with heedful hook Timely I gather. I am the Sower. All the unbodied life Runs through my seed-sheet. Atom with atom wed, Each quickening the other, Fall through my hands, ever changing, still changeless. Ceaselessly sowing, Life, incorruptible life, Flows from my seed-sheet. Maker and breaker, I am the ebb and the flood, Here and Hereafter, Sped through the tangle and coil Of infinite nature, Viewless and soundless I fashion all being. Taker and giver, I am the womb and the grave, The Now and the Ever.

BARMAID by: William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) HOUGH, if you ask her name, she says Elise, Being plain Elizabeth, e'en let it pass, And own that, if her aspirates take their ease, She ever makes a point, in washing glass, Handling the engine, turning taps for tots, And countering change, and scorning what men say, Of posing as a dove among the pots, Nor often gives her dignity away. Her head's a work of art, and, if her eyes Be tired and ignorant, she has a waist; Cheaply the Mode she shadows; and she tries From penny novels to amend her taste; And, having mopped the zinc for certain years, And faced the gas, she fades and disappears.

Invictus (Out of the night that covers me........) By William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) Biography 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.

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.

The school was a poor relation of the Cathedral School, and Henley indicated its shortcomings in his article ( Pall Mall Magazine , Nov. 1900) on TE Brown the poet, who was headmaster there for a brief period. Brown's appointment was a stroke of luck for Henley, for whom it represented a first acquaintance with a man of genius. "He was singularly kind to me at a moment when I needed kindness even more than I needed encouragement." Brown did him the essential service of lending him books. Henley was no classical scholar, but his knowledge and love of literature were vital. After suffering tuberculosis as a boy, he found himself, in 1874, aged twenty-five, an inmate of the hospital at Edinburgh . From there he sent to the Cornhill Magazine poems in irregulai rhythms, describing with poignant force his experiences in hospital. Leslie Stephen , then editor, visited his contributor in hospital and took Robert Louis Stevenson , another recruit of the Cornhill, with him. The meeting between Stevenson and Henley, and the friendship of which it was the beginning, form one of the best-known episodes in

SEARCH: the rain and the wind by William Ernest Henley (1849-1903) The rain and the wind, the wind and the rain They are with us like a disease: They worry the heart, they work the brain, As they shoulder and clutch at the shrieking pane, And savage the helpless trees. What does it profit a man to know These tattered and tumbling skies A million stately stars will show, And the ruining grace of the after-glow And the rush of the wild sunrise? Ever the rain the rain and the wind! Come, hunch with me over the fire, Dream of the dreams that leered and grinned, Ere the blood of the Year got chilled and thinned, And the death came on desire!

The smoke ascends In a rosy-and-golden haze. The spires Shine and are changed. In the valley Shadows rise. The lark sings on. The sun, Closing his benediction, Sinks, and the darkening air Night with her train of stars And her great gift of sleep. So be my passing! My wages taken, and in my heart

William Ernest Henley INVICTUS 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. (What a thoroughly brave statement! Yes, life is hard. But I am a stoic! I will not choose to give in! Invictus means unconquered. What makes this poem even more powerful is that the author lived it! He is not just telling YOU how to live, he is telling himself as well. During the 1880s and 1890s Henley was the editor of the "National Observer" and other London periodicals and he was very well regarded in literary circles. He courageously confronted his crippling physical pain caused by tuberculosis of the bone. When someone who disagrees with you also admires you, then you know that the admiration is doubly significant.

40. W. E. Henley WE William Ernest Henley (18491903) poet, journalist, and editor. photograph,gelatin silver, 1899 by Walter Biggar Blaikie (1847-1928). http://www.1890s.org/wbsite/sub/henley.htm

poet, journalist, and editor by Walter Biggar Blaikie (1847-1928) If a career could be made in the late-Victorian period out of talking up Aestheticism and the philosophy of "art for art's sake," it was nearly as easy to gain fame by talking them down. Just as the existence of the "New Woman" called forth a host of professional anti-feminists, so the flourishing of Oscar Wilde's reputation and the transatlantic distribution of representations of his "unmanly" dress and appearance gave rise to a counter-movement which advanced the prospects of writers who carried the banner of muscular masculinity instead. Chief among these was W. E. Henley, editor first of the Scots Observer (which became the National Observer ) and then, in the late 1890s, of the New Review . This photograph of Henley is in the genre of the "author's study" shots so commonly reproduced in periodicals and volumes at the end of the centuryportraits that treated writers almost as zoological curiosities, captured in their lairs. What this image renders invisible, however, is that the broad-shouldered, barrel-chested Henley, who was thought to stand for the macho ideal of action could, in fact, hardly stand at all. He suffered from a virulent form of arthritis, lost a foot to it, and lived always with pain.
