Famous quotes containing the words serpent and/or men:

    Hell in a horn of sulphur and the cloven myth,
    All heaven in a midnight of the sun,
    A serpent fiddled in the shaping-time.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    Follow a shaddow, it still flies you;
    Seeme to flye it, it will pursue:
    So court a mistris, shee denyes you;
    Let her alone, shee will court you.
    Say, are not women truely, then,
    Stil’d but the shaddowes of us men?
    At morne, and even, shades are longest;
    At noone, they are or short, or none:
    So men at weakest, they are strongest,
    But grant us perfect, they’re not knowne.
    Say, are not women truely, then,
    Stil’d but the shaddowes of us men?
    Ben Jonson (1572–1637)
