Serpent Isle

Famous quotes containing the words serpent and/or isle:

Instead the serpent spoke as you held me close.
The serpent, that mocker, woke up and pressed against me
like a great god and we bent together
like two lonely swans.”

And lays them in a row.
To an isle in the water
With her would I go.”
