John Milton

“

Things are of the snake.

No reptiles are found there [in Ireland], and no snake can live there; for, though often carried thither out of Britain, as soon as the ship comes near the shore, and the scent of the air reaches them, they die.

Bede

“

The snake stood up for evil in the Garden.

Robert Frost

“

The infernal serpent; he it was, whose guile,
Stirr’d up with envy and revenge, deceiv’d
The mother of mankind.

John Milton

“

For he seemed to me again like a king,
Like a king in exile, uncrowned in the underworld,
Now due to be crowned again.

D. H. Lawrence

“

Your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good and evil.
