The Devil in Midwinter Quotes

“The old folktales from Mexico often have the same beginning. "One day a man met the devil on the road," or "The devil came upon a man in the desert." This is not an old story, but I am here to tell you, I met the devil in an orchard in December. He offered me gold,; he gave me pleasure; he fooled me twice and then he set me on fire.”
― Elise Forier Edie, The Devil in Midwinter
