Answer 2

Answer :

This question is based on the poem 'Snake' by D.H. Lawrence.

In the poem, the poet says that I have something to expatriate as he is full of guilt, regret and remorse for throwing the stick at the snake in order to kill him when the snake had not posed any danger to him. He blames the voice of his education for this heinous act.

The poet is thinking of compensating for this hideous sin and wishes for the snake to visit his water trough again so that he can entertain and host him.
