Eastern

Famous quotes containing the word eastern:

    “But we are spirits of another sort.
    I with the morning’s love have oft made sport,
    And like a forester the groves may tread
    Even till the eastern gate, all fiery-red,
    Opening on Neptune with fair blessèd beams,
    Turns unto yellow gold his salt green streams.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Now Morn her rosy steps in th’ eastern clime
    Advancing, sowed the earth with orient pearl.”
