Famous quotes containing the words edgar and/or snow:

    Fate, or some mysterious force, can put the finger on you or me, for no good reason at all.
    Martin Goldsmith, and Edgar G. Ulmer. Al Roberts (Tom Neal)

    And before, with banner red,
    Through the blizzard snow unseen,
    All unharmed by hail of lead,
    With a step like snow so light,
    Showered in myriad pearls of snow.
    Crowned in wreath of roses white,
    Christ leads onward as they go.
    Alexander Blok (1880–1921)
