 Context examples 

The south wind blew Dora, and the wild flowers in the hedges were all Doras, to a bud.

(David Copperfield, by Charles Dickens)

Then the east wind and the west wind came, and said they too had not seen it, but the south wind said, I have seen the white dove—he has fled to the Red Sea, and is changed once more into a lion, for the seven years are passed away, and there he is fighting with a dragon; and the dragon is an enchanted princess, who seeks to separate him from you.

(Fairy Tales, by The Brothers Grimm)
