In Romanian a crai is a king, one of the three Magi who followed the star, and it is also a rake who spends his nights in the gutter. Mateiu Caragiale's novel lives in that double meaning.

Until death I shall remain the same: an unrepentant dreamer, forever drawn to what is distant and secret.
Rakes Of The Old Court, Mateiu I. Caragiale
