Depart
 
  Departed, like Ichabod’s glory.
            —Anonymous		  1
  His fame is departed like mist, when it flies, before the rustling wind, along the brightening vale.
            —James Macpherson		  2
  Departed as a shadow.
            —Edgar Allan Poe		  3
Departed like a gleam, that for a moment in the heavy sky
Is opened when the storm is hurrying by.
            —Robert Southey		  4
  Departed as a scroll when it is rolled together.
            —New Testament		  5
                Depart
Like blighted buds; or clouds that mimicked land
Before the sailor’s eye.
            —William Wordsworth		  6
