Famous quotes containing the words serpent and/or eagle:
“You danced with me never saying a word.
Instead the serpent spoke as you held me close.
The serpent, that mocker, woke up and pressed against me
like a great god and we bent together
like two lonely swans.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Being wakeful for her sake,
Remembering what she had,
What eagle look still shows,
While up from my heart’s root
So great a sweetness flows
I shake from head to foot.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
