Snake- D.H Lawrence

➤ Snake Summary in English

D.H.Lawrence, besides being a novelist, and short story writer, is also known as a prolific poet. Capturing his emotions through free verse, his poems mostly deal with the effects of modernity and industrialization on man. The poem opens with an encounter of the poet with the snake on a hot summer day when the snake had come out of the hole to quench its thirst. The poet too had gone for the same, but seeing the snake, he waits for his turn. He keenly watches the snake and describes it beautifully as the snake moves forward on its belly to sip the water. The snake looks at the poet vaguely and returns back to the water to quench his thirst. The poet, because of what his education had taught him, thinks it to be poisonous and decides to kill the snake. His instinct urges him not to do so, as he somewhat liked the yellow-black snake. The snake quietly moves back to the hole, leaving the poet wondering if he did the right thing by letting the snake go or if was he a coward, afraid of getting anywhere near the snake. So, he ultimately picks up a log and throws it at the snake. The snake vanishes rapidly, leaving the poet standing and staring at the fascinating creature. The poet regrets his action and hated himself for such a mean act. Ultimately, the poet gives enough respect to the snake, treating him as a king in exile.

➤ Snake Summary in Hindi

डी.एच.लॉरेंस एक उपन्यासकार और लघु कथाकार होने के अलावा एक प्रखर कवि के रूप में भी जाने जाते हैं। मुक्त छंद के माध्यम से अपनी भावनाओं को व्यक्त करते हुए, उनकी कविताएँ ज्यादातर मनुष्य पर आधुनिकता और औद्योगीकरण के प्रभावों से संबंधित हैं। कविता की शुरुआत गर्मी के एक दिन में कवि की सांप से मुठभेड़ से होती है जब सांप अपनी प्यास बुझाने के लिए बिल से बाहर आया था। कवि भी उसी के लिए गया था, लेकिन सांप को देखकर वह अपनी बारी का इंतजार करता है। वह सांप को गौर से देखता है और उसका खूबसूरती से वर्णन करता है क्योंकि सांप पानी पीने के लिए अपने पेट के बल आगे बढ़ता है। साँप कवि को अस्पष्ट दृष्टि से देखता है और अपनी प्यास बुझाने के लिए वापस पानी में लौट आता है। कवि, अपनी शिक्षा द्वारा उसे सिखाई गई बातों के कारण उसे जहरीला मानता है और साँप को मारने का निर्णय लेता है। उसकी अंतरात्मा उसे ऐसा न करने के लिए प्रेरित करती है, क्योंकि उसे पीला-काला सांप कुछ हद तक पसंद था। साँप चुपचाप बिल में वापस चला जाता है, जिससे कवि आश्चर्यचकित हो जाता है कि क्या उसने साँप को जाने देकर सही काम किया है या क्या वह कायर था, जो साँप के पास जाने से डरता था। इसलिए, अंततः वह एक लट्ठा उठाता है और सांप पर फेंक देता है। साँप तेजी से गायब हो जाता है, जिससे कवि खड़ा रह जाता है और उस आकर्षक प्राणी को घूरता रहता है। कवि को अपने कृत्य पर पछतावा है और वह अपने ऐसे नीच कृत्य के लिए स्वयं से घृणा करता है। अंततः, कवि साँप को निर्वासित राजा मानकर पर्याप्त सम्मान देता है।
