Quotations for southern

Prisoned in a parlour snug and small,
Like bottled wasps upon a southern wall. [ Cowper ]

Whither away, Bluebird, Whither away?
The blast is chill, yet in the upper sky,
Thou still canst find the color of thy wing.
The hue of May.
Warbler, why speed thy southern flight? ah, why,
Thou too, whose song first told us of the Spring?
Whither away? [ E. C. Stedman ]

I would rather sleep in the southern corner of a little country churchyard than in the tomb of the Capulets. [ Burke ]
