词汇 | singing beach |
词源 | singing beach. See quote from Agnes Edwards’s The Roman- tic Shore (1915): “Manchester, Massachusetts’ peculiar attrac- tion is that beach of ruddy sand—a warm tawny pink—which, when a carriage drives over it or people tread on it, gives forth a crisp note, something like snow under foot in dry cold weath- er. This musical vibration has poetically christened it the Sing- ing Beach, a wonder of the world and a never failing source of entertainment.” |
