demesne
Oft of one wide expanse had I been told— (John Keats, On First Looking into Chapman’s Homer, lignes 5-6, 1816)
That deep-brow’d Homer ruled as his demesne;
I could spot no friendly native to tell me where I might find Bobbie. I proceeded, therefore, to roam hither and thither about the grounds and messuages in the hope of locating her, wishing that I had a couple of bloodhounds to aid me in my task, for the Travers demesne is a spacious one and there was a considerable amount of sunshine above, though none, I need scarcely mention, in my heart.— (P. G. Wodehouse, Jeeves in the Offing, chapitre III, 1960)
One minute before his death, as we were crossing from his demesne to mine and had begun working up between the junipers and ornamental shrubs, a Red Admirable (see note to line 270) came dizzily whirling around us like a colored flame.— (Vladimir Nabokov, Pale Fire, commentaire, note aux lignes 993-995, 1962)
