Of which novel or short story are the following the last lines? Thanks!
1) The poem, his poem, was going to be the best tribute he could play to the only woman who had ever loved him.
2) Altogether it had been a most inauspicious week for his Excellency President Enrico Veracruz.
3) The light grew brighter, the sun appeared and everyone went streaming back to where they had come from.
4) "Do as you're told"

For 2 try "Senor Vivo and the Coca Lord" - Louis de Bernieres - it definitely has a President Veracruz in it.
