Famous quotes containing the words serpent and/or men:
“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)
“I would much rather have men ask why I have no statue than why I have one.”
