Quotations for south

The trickling rain doth fall
Upon us one and all;
The south-wind kisses
The saucy milk-maid's cheek.
The nun's, demure and meek,
Nor any misses. [ E. C. Stedman ]

He could distinguish and divide
A hair 'twixt south and south-west side. [ Butler ]

For through the south the custom still commands
The gentleman to kiss the lady's hands. [ Byron ]
