But the thing that I saw in your face, no power can disinherit...

Your name and your deeds were forgotten
Before your bones were dry
And the lie that slew you is buried
Under a deeper lie

But the thing that I saw in your face
No power can disinherit
No bomb that ever burst
Shatters the crystal spirit

George Orwell (1903-1950)

Note:
Verse written in 1939, published later in his 1943 book Looking Back on the Spanish War. The poem although the last 4 lines particularly, I have long woolgathered even pondered as encouraging, inspiring words.
