Famous quotes containing the words upper, east and/or region:
“When my old wife lived, upon
This day she was both pantler, butler, cook,

Would sing her song and dance her turn, now here
At upper end o’the table, now i’the middle,

With labor, and the thing she took to quench it
She would to each one sip.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

—Phyllis McGinley (1905–1978)
“In the misty mid region of Weir—”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
