    “In Florida consider the flamingo,
    Its color passion but its neck a question.”
    —Robert Penn Warren (1905–1989)

    “And now the end is near
    And so I face the final curtain,
    I’ll state my case of which I’m certain.
    I’ve lived a life that’s full, I traveled each and ev’ry highway,
    And more, much more than this. I did it my way.”
    —Frank Sinatra (b. 1915)
