Anthony Doerr Quote

Feel this, says Harold Bazin, and crouches and brings her hand to a curved wall which is completely studded with snails. Hundreds of them. Thousands.So many, she whispers.I don’t know why. Maybe because they’re safe from gulls? Here, feel this, I’ll turn it over. Hundreds of tiny, squirming hydraulic feet beneath a horny, ridged top: a sea star. Blue mussels here. And here’s a dead stone crab, can you feel his claw?
