“RIVER SNAKE”. My branch my son; Don’t go in the river. The snake in that water; Is bigger than your mother. It’ll wrap itself around you; And you’ll never come back; You’ll never come back. --A. Poulin, Jr., "Catawba: Omens, Prayers,and Songs" ................................................................................................................. “Oh, the snake pitcher! That just come from making snakes for the pottery because my grandmother made them, you know, on the vases; and I just thought it would look good on a pitcher, so I made it.” --Georgia Harris on her Snake Pitcher [pictured]
