A string literal represents a null-terminated array of characters
with static storage duration. When you write
	"abc"
in an expression (except as the operand of sizeof), it is
immediately converted to the address of the first char in the array
which consists of 'a', 'b', 'c', '\0'.

You cannot write &"abc", because that would be the address of an
address, and has no meaning.
