“An angel’s arm can’t snatch me from the grave; legions of angels can’t confine me there.” — Edward Young
(Our first Edward Young quote! Anybody up on their early 18th Century poetry? This is a line from his Night-Thoughts, but I can’t tell if he’s talking about actual death, or dreams, or . . . This cryptoquote took me a while to get. “AN” and “ME” are not all that common. Starting with three words beginning with A was also a little unusual. I don’t know what I would have done if I didn’t spot “the” and “there”. I really had to go letter by letter with this one. Great challenge. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
