near the end of the poem, the narrator brings up the albatross, which is a reference to coleridge's poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" which tells about a sailor who kills a bird-the albatross-and is cursed. after that, he's forced to re-tell the story of his encounter with the albatross forever.

Where is Alliteration used in poem snake by DH Lawrence?

The poet describes how, when he came down to get water on a hot day, he saw a snake already there drinking water. He is fascinated by the quietness and beauty of the snake and thinks of it as a guest who had honoured him by coming to his water trough. His training and education tell him that such golden snakes are poisonous and must be killed, but something ( his cowardice or his perversity ) stops him from hitting the snake. He catches the snake as it gradually withdraws into a crack in the wall, and then, in a moment of weakness, hits the snake with a log of wood. The snake quickly disappears and the poet is overcome with a sense of guilt at his meanness in trying to kill the snake which had only come to drink water and not to harm him. The poet feels as if he has committed a sin and must atone for it like the Ancient Mariner who had killed the albatross.
