Stephen Spender (Sir Stephen Harold Spender) Quotes
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.

Born of the sun, they travelled a short while toward the sun And left the vivid air signed with their honour.
