Born 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.

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