Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields,  
  See how these names are fêted in the waving grass  
  And by the streamers of the white cloud  
  And whispers of the wind in the listening sky.  
  The names of those who in their lives fought for life,  
  Who wore at their hearts the fire's centre.  
  Born of the sun, they travelled a short while toward the sun  
  And left the vivid air signed with their honour.
"I Think of Those Who Were Truly Great" - Poems (1933)
