Well, he’s not actually a poet, but he apparently likes to read up on 19th Century verse every now and then. And to close his opening presentation this morning, he read a stanza from William Earnest Henley’s “Invictus.”

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.

Wow, that's the most poignant thing I've every heard at the Four As media conference â€" or coming out of the mouth of Marc Goldstein.
