George Leo Haydock, on Prov 8:26

“He had not yet made the earth, nor the rivers, nor the poles of the world.”

“Poles. Hebrew, “head or height of the dust of the world.” (Haydock) — I subsisted with the chaos, before things appeared in their present form. (Calmet) — The poles denote the north and south, or the four quarters of the world. (Menochius)”
