Invictus III
 
This is the third lion in a series of four inspired by the Invictus poem by William Ernest Henley. This lion represents the third stanza in the poem 
 
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.
 
This poem is known for its themes of willpower, strength in the face of adversity, perserverance and fearlessness.
