What is the significance of his head being unbowed? In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud. Under the bludgeonings of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed.

What place could Henley be referring to What place could Henley be referring to? What does he mean by “menace of the years?” How is this final line similar to the final previous of the last stanza? 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.

What tone does Henley have towards his present condition based on these lines? What is the significance of the parallelism in the final two lines? Why is this a fitting conclusion for the poem?
