Departed Long Beach

Famous quotes containing the words departed, long and/or beach:

    Took a few herbs and apples, and the Day

    To great shapely knees
    The long flowing line,

    Through the holy images
    At Pallas Athena’s side....

    If Los Angeles has been called “the capital of crackpots” and “the metropolis of isms,” the native Angeleno can not fairly attribute all of the city’s idiosyncrasies to the newcomer—at least not so long as he consults the crystal ball for guidance in his business dealings and his wife goes shopping downtown in beach pajamas.
