I believe that all of the best authorities on serpents believe that snakes do not swallow their young.

There are times when waves of passion sweep over him in such prodigious volume as to roll him to and fro like a pebble in the surf. Gusts of emotion blow over him with such violence as to hurl him pro and con with inconceivable fury. In such moods, if it were not for the relief offered by writing verse we really do not know what would happen to him. His verse written under the impulse of such emotions marks him as one of the greatest masters of passion, wild and yet restrained, objectionable ...

But after making allowance for all moral feeling and the unusual and dramatic manner in which moral issues, ...
