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. (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet, Act 3, Scene 2)

Reference quoted by Robert F. Kennedy, at the Democratic National Convention, 1964
