Quotations for region

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 ]

Your peaks are beautiful, ye Apennines!
In the soft light of these serenest skies;
From the broad highland region, black with pines,
Fair as the hills of Paradise they rise.
Bathed in the tint Peruvian slaves behold
In rosy flushes on the virgin gold. [ William Cullen Bryant ]

Her eye in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright.
That birds would sing, and think it were not night. [ William Shakespeare ]

What region of the earth is not full of our calamities? [ Virgil ]

Love is a reality which is born in the fairy region of romance. [ Talleyrand ]

The region of the senses is the unbelieving part of the human soul. [ George MacDonald ]

What region of the earth is not full of the story of our calamities? [ Virgil ]

The soft contralto notes of a woman's voice are born in the immediate region of the heart. [ Alfred de Musset ]

A sublime idea remains the same, from whatever brain or in whatever region it has its birth. [ Menzel ]

Reason exercises merely the function of preserving order, is, so to say, the police in the region of art. In life it is mostly a cold arithmetician summing up our follies. [ Heine ]
