Maximilian, Emperor of Mexico, Quitting his Prison Cell for the Place of Execution, 1867
He took a friendly farewell of those around him, and went tranquilly to his death. When he stepped out of the prison he looked calmly around, up at the glorious blue sky and tropical sunshine, and said, drawing a deep breath, "Ah, what a splendid day! I always wished to die on such a day. "
