    “Serene stands the little captain,
    He is not hurried, his voice is neither high nor low,
    His eyes give more light to us than our battle-lanterns.

    Toward twelve there in the beams of the moon they surrender to us.”
    —Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    “Old age is not a disease—it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.”
