Famous quotes containing the word eastern:
“The grey-eyed morn smiles on the frowning night,
Checkering the eastern clouds with streaks of light.”

“All the morning we had heard the sea roar on the eastern shore, which was several miles distant.... It was a very inspiriting sound to walk by, filling the whole air, that of the sea dashing against the land, heard several miles inland. Instead of having a dog to growl before your door, to have an Atlantic Ocean to growl for a whole Cape!”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
