King Crabs

Famous quotes containing the words king and/or crabs:

    Oh the rose, the rose, the gentle rose,
    And the fennel that grows so green!
    God give us grace in every place
    To pray for our king and queen.
    Unknown. The Seven Virgins (l. 41–44)

    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)
