Famous quotes containing the word edward:

    “The night was thick and hazy
    When the “Piccadilly Daisy”
    Carried down the crew and captain in the sea;
    And I think the water downed ‘em;
    For they never, never found ‘em,
    And I know they didn’t come ashore with me.”
    —Charles Edward Carryl (1841–1920)
