Famous quotes containing the words edward and/or egan:

    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)

    The first ones ever, oh, ever to know
    of the rising of Jesus, his glory to be,
    were Mary, Joanna, and Magdalene,
    and blessed are they are they who see.
    —Linda Wilberger Egan (b. 1946)
