Famous quotes containing the word edict:
“If then true lovers have ever been crossed
It stands as an edict in destiny.
Then let us teach our trial patience,
Because it is a customary cross,
As due to love and thoughts, and dreams, and sighs,
Wishes, and tears—poor fancy’s followers.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
