He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.Wystan Hugh Auden

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
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
Lars Porsena of Closium
By the Nine Gods he swore
That the great house of Tarquin
Should suffer wrong no more.
By the Nine Gods he swore it,
And named a trysting day,
And bade his messengers ride forth,
East and west and south and north,
To summon his array.Thomas Babington Macaulay
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.
