Laurel Bay

Famous quotes containing the words laurel and/or bay:

    Let arms yield to the toga, let the [victor’s] laurel yield to the [orator’s] tongue.
    Marcus Tullius Cicero (106–43 B.C.)

    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)
