166. He has not surrendered

```

Although his life was marked by failure,

He did not surrender to ignorance-night.

Although he was drunk with fatigue,

excruciating fatigue,

He did not surrender to ignorance-night.

Although wild tears have conquered his life,

inner and outer,

He has not surrendered to ignorance-night.

His is not the nature to surrender,

But to accept life

And brave the buffets of life

And thus come out victorious. ```
