Serpent Eagle

Famous quotes containing the words serpent and/or eagle:

    “The mirror-scalèd serpent is multiplicity,
    But all that run in couples, on earth, in flood or air, share God that is but three,
    And could beget or bear themselves could they but love as He.”

    “Being wakeful for her sake,
    Remembering what she had,
    What eagle look still shows,
    While up from my heart’s root
    So great a sweetness flows
    I shake from head to foot.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
