Serpent Riders

Famous quotes containing the words serpent and/or riders:

    Alas I find the Serpent old
    That, twining in his speckled breast,
    About the flow’rs disguis’d does fold,
    With wreaths of Fame and Interest.
    Andrew Marvell (1621–1678)

    To see the earth as we now see it, small and beautiful in that eternal silence where it floats, is to see ourselves as riders on the earth together, brothers on that bright loveliness in the unending night—brothers who see now they are truly brothers.
    Archibald MacLeish (1892–1982)
