Quotations for orient

The softest blush that nature spreads
Gave color to her cheek:
Such orient color smiles through heaven
When vernal mornings break. [ Mallet ]

See how the orient dew
Shed from the bosom of the morn
Into the blowing roses
(Yet careless of its mansion new
For the clear region where it was born)
Round in itself incloses,
And in its little globe's extent
Frames, as it can, its native element. [ Andrew Marvell ]

Morn, in the white wake of the morning star,
Came, furrowing all the orient into gold. [ Alfred Tennyson ]

Now morn her rosy steps in th' eastern clime,
Advancing, sowed the earth with orient pearl. [ Milton ]

That same dew, which sometime on the buds was wont to swell, like round and orient pearls, stood now within the pretty flowerets' eyes, like tears that did their own disgrace bewail. [ William Shakespeare ]
