Thou hast caught splendour from the sailless sea, and mystery from
many stars outwatched. - Stephen Phillips

kept the spears of honour bright and freedom's house inviolate.

Born of the sun they traveled a short while toward the sun, and left
the vivid air signed with their honor. - Stephen Spender
Death makes no conquest of the conqueror for now he lives in fame
though not in life. -William Shakespeare
