Quotations for east

The longer east, the longer west. [ Proverb ]

Day is a snow-white Dove of heaven
That from the East glad message brings:
Night is a stealthy, evil Raven,
Wrapt to the eyes in his black wings. [ T. B. Aldrich ]

And, lo! in the dark east, expanded high.
The rainbow brightens to the setting Sun. [ Beattie ]

Look, the gentle day,
Before the wheels of Phoebus, round about
Dapples the drowsy east with spots of gray. [ William Shakespeare ]

The dream
Dreamed by a happy man, when the dark east,
Unseen, is brightening to his bridal morn. [ Tennyson ]

Bright as does the morning star appear,
Out of the east with flaming locks bedight,
To tell the dawning day is drawing near. [ Spenser ]

They are those winged messengers that can fly
From the Antarctic to the Arctic sky;
The heralds and swift harbingers that move
From east to west on embassies of love. [ Howell ]

Now the bright Morning-star, Day's harbinger,
Comes dancing from the east, and leads with her
The flow'ry May, who from her green lap throws
The yellow Cowslip, and the pale Primrose. [ Milton ]

Fe sends to the East Indies for Kentish pippins. [ Proverb ]

It is in worldly accidents.
As in the world itself, where things most distant
Meet one another: Thus the east and west.
Upon the globe a mathematical point
Only divides: Thus happiness and misery.
And all extremes, are still contiguous. [ Denham ]

He came safe from the East Indies, and was drowned in the Thames. [ Proverb ]

Let your sleep be necessary and healthful, not idle and expensive of time, beyond the needs and conveniences of nature; and sometimes be curious to see the preparation which the sun makes when he is coming forth from his chambers of the east. [ Jeremy Taylor ]
