\"sanna_sol\"<\/a><\/p>\n

“I think continually of those who were truly great.
\nWho, from the womb, remembered the soul’s history
\nThrough corridors of light where the hours are suns
\nEndless and singing. Whose lovely ambition
\nWas that their lips, still touched with fire,
\nShould tell of the Spirit clothed from head to foot in song.
\nAnd who hoarded from the Spring branches
\nThe desires falling across their bodies like blossoms.<\/p>\n

What is precious is never to forget
\nThe essential delight of the blood drawn from ageless springs
\nBreaking through rocks in worlds before our earth.
\nNever to deny its pleasure in the morning simple light
\nNor its grave evening demand for love.
\nNever to allow gradually the traffic to smother
\nWith noise and fog the flowering of the spirit.<\/p>\n

Near the snow, near the sun, in the highest fields
\nSee how these names are feted by the waving grass
\nAnd by the streamers of white cloud
\nAnd whispers of wind in the listening sky.
\nThe names of those who in their lives fought for life
\nWho wore at their hearts the fire’s center.
\nBorn of the sun they traveled a short while towards the sun,
\nAnd left the vivid air signed with their honor.”<\/p>\n
