“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 traveled a short while towards the sun,
And left the vivid air signed with their honour.”

Have slipped their names, and stand at ease,
Or gallop for what must be joy,”

—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
