Snake brother

Fear not the Snake for his guile, nor his silence,
Fear him for his speed at striking,
The clenching strength of his coils,
The armour of his scales,
And the sharpness of his bite.
Fear the Snake, oh enemies of Man,
For his coils encircle us
And his bright eyes, unblinking,
Watch over us forever. - from The Lays of Proud Ithaka. Work in progress.
