William Ernest Henley (August 23, 1849 – July 11, 1903) was a British poet, critic and editor.
Henley was born at Gloucester and educated at the Crypt Grammar School.
Though, as Henley confessed, the paper had almost as many writers as readers, and its fame was mainly confined to the literary class, it was a lively and influential feature of the literary life of its time.

Henley’s image of manly bravado was the polar opposite of the green carnations of Oscar Wilde and the Aesthetes, and critic Jerome Hamilton Buckley identified him as the leading figure of the “counter-decadence” of the 1890s.
Henley was involved in several ambitious projects that enabled him to express his views on several canonical British writers much to his taste.
It sprang from Henley’s resolve as a young man not to accept the medical verdict that would have resulted in amputation of his remaining leg because of tubercular arthritis.

 [minstrels] Barmaid -- William Ernest Henley
Note that the barmaid is wonderfully developed as an individual, Henley achieving an enviable density of description in fourteen short lines.
The opening lines set the tone right away - "she says 'Elise', being plain Elizabeth", writes Henley, and the sense of recognition is almost automatic - we know exactly the kind of person he's talking about.
Having established the barmaid's working-class background, Henley goes on to build her up as a dignified, self-contained person, until he undercuts the description with "her eyes be tired and ignorant".

 Invictus-William E. Henley
From what I could find, Henley wrote this poem while in the hospital after losing his leg from complications of tuberculosis.
I think Henley wants to express how sick he feels as he compares his health to the darkness of night and a fl pit.
Second Stanza: “In the fell clutch of circumstance; I have not winced nor cried aloud.” Henley refers to his misfortune as simply something that happens and he has remained strong in his convictions to not show his pain by crying aloud.
