Some have held that there are only four winds: Solanus from the east; Auster from the south; Favonius from due west; Septentrio from the north. But more careful investigators tell us that there are eight.

Chapter VI, Sec. 4Vitruvius
There will be great winds by reason of which things of the East will become things of the West; and those of the South, being involved in the course of the winds, will follow them to distant lands.
Leonardo da Vinci
From north to south, from east to west.
Guillaume de Salluste Du Bartas
I have always read that the world, both land and water, was spherical, as the authority and researches of Ptolemy and all the others who have written on this subject demonstrate and prove, as do the eclipses of the moon and other experiments that are made from east to west, and the elevation of the North Star from north to south.
Christopher Columbus
We put things in order — God does the rest. Lay an iron bar east and west, it is not magnetized. Lay it north and south and it is.
Horace Mann
The East will be seen to rush to the West and the South to the North in confusion round and about the universe, with great noise and trembling or fury.
