Coral Snakes

Famous quotes containing the words coral and/or snakes:

    “Full fathom five thy father lies,
    Of his bones are coral made;
    Those are pearls that were his eyes;
    Nothing of him that doth fade,
    But doth suffer a sea-change
    Into something rich and strange.
    Sea-nymphs hourly ring his knell:
    Ding-dong.
    Hark! Now I hear them—ding-dong bell.”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “Or driven wild
    by snakes that kept the carrots clean,
    she butchered snakes and carrots with a hoe.”
    —Richard Hugo (1923–1982)
