The Serpent Quotes

“The rag rug
That had heaped out onto your lap
Slid to the floor. There it lay, coiled
Between us. However it came,
And wherever it found its tongue, its fang, its meaning,
It survived our Eden.”
― Ted Hughes, Birthday Letters

“The destiny of the land was sealed, but as yet there was no way of knowing what direction that would take.”
― Storm Constantine, Scenting Hallowed Blood
