I read this every few months. It was a bit of a shock to see it in the DDs today, but it is most deserving. I've come a long way since I first read this, when I was 18, but it still jars me to the soul. Thank you for giving us the gift of your beautiful words. Rest in peace.

The title is apt; there is more than one way to be conquered. I think for many of us you remained invictus til the end.

The poem is in the author's comments, and it is credited correctly. The DD was awarded for the prose piece above it (which derives its title from the poem).

This is really beautiful - we all are a little better for having read something by you. Rest in Peace, you deserve it.
For anyone who isn't aware, the man in question has already passed away. To my knowledge, he faced it as bravely as anyone could hope to do.
