Snake by D.H Lawerence - Summary

                                    


It was a hot summer day.

The poet went to fetch some water from the trough. 

A snake came there to drink water.

The poet was excited to see the snake.

His logical / rational mind told him to kill to the snake.

He couldn't kill the snake because he was afraid and he was a coward. 

After drinking water, the snake disappeared into a hole in the wall. 

The poet threw a wooden stick at the snake and felt bad about his action. 

The poem tells us that we should appreciate nature and all the creatures on the planet. 

The poem is also about the rational / logical vs the emotional/ creative side of the brain.
