King Crabs

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or crabs:

    So doth the greater glory dim the less:
    A substitute shines brightly as a king
    Until a king be by.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Baltimore lay very near the immense protein factory of Chesapeake Bay, and out of the bay it ate divinely. I well recall the time when prime hard crabs of the channel species, blue in color, at least eight inches in length along the shell, and with snow-white meat almost as firm as soap, were hawked in Hollins Street of Summer mornings at ten cents a dozen.
    —H.L. (Henry Lewis)
