"When he shall die,
Take him and cut him out in little stars,
And he will make the face of Heaven so fine
That all the world will be in love with night
And pay no worship to the garish sun."
-William Shakespeare "Romeo and Juliet", used by Bobby Kennedy to open his speech at the 1964 Democratic National Convention after a 22-minute standing ovation, in reference to his brother, JFK, less than a year after he was assassinated
