Famous quotes containing the words vine and/or snake:

    The lily in splendor, the vine in her grace,
    The fox in the forest, all had their desire,
    As then I had mine, in the place that was happy and poor.
    Ruth Pitter (b. 1897)

    The great snake lies ever half awake, at the bottom of the pit of the world, curled
    In folds of himself until he awakens in hunger and moving his head to right and to left prepares for his hour to devour.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
