Edge

Famous quotes containing the word edge:

    His poor, crazy, deformed body was a mere Pandora’s box, containing all the physical ills that ever afflicted humanity. This, perhaps, whetted the edge of his satire, and may in some degree excuse it.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)

    They call back to us
    from the gauzy edge of paradise,
    good news, good news.
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    In a coign of the cliff between lowland and highland,
    At the sea-down’s edge between windward and lee,
    Walled round with rocks as an inland island,
    The ghost of a garden fronts the sea.
    —A.C. (Algernon Charles)
