The rattlesnake's "... eye excelled in brightness that of any other animal, and ... she
has no eye-lids. She may therefore be esteemed an emblem of vigilance. She never
begins an attack, nor, when once engaged, ever surrenders: She is therefore an
emblem of magnanimity and true courage ... (S)he never wounds 'till she has
generously given notice, even to her enemy, and cautioned him against the danger of
treading on her."
