    Another reference to Tess of the d’Urbervilles (see also Thy Damnation Slumbereth Not). “It was terribly beautiful to Tess today, for since her eyes last fell upon it she had learnt that the serpent hisses where the sweet birds sing…”, which Thomas Hardy took from Shakespeare. (“The adder hisses where the sweet birds sing,” from The Rape of Lucrece.)
