Jim Morrison:
When the serpent appears, his head is ten feet long and five feet wide. He has one red eye and one green eye. He's deadly and he's seven miles long. As he moves -- on his scales is written all the history of the world, all people, all actions, all of us our little pictures on the scales, God it's big! -- and it's eating as it moves all the time, devouring, digesting consciousness, power, a monster of energy! We must kiss the snake on the tongue, if it senses our fear, it will eat us instantly. But if we kiss it without fear, the snake will take us through the garden and out the gate. To our freedom -we must ride this snake. To the end of time.

    I saw an 15 foot anaconda in the Amazon that was like that.  I was afraid of the power of this massive water snake. The head as described with eyes that tracked you.  The body thick with a pot belly.  Don' stand next to a log by the river.
