Here are three lines that encapsulate his feelings:

1. "He reached down from a fissure in the earth-wall in the gloom."

2. "And trailed his yellow-brown slackness soft-bellied down, over the edge of the stone trough."

3. "And looked around like a god, unseeing, into the air."

Lawrence's attitude towards the snake is indeed complicated, combining awe, fear, admiration, and guilt.

Evidence from the text:

1. Awe and Admiration: "And looked around like a god, unseeing, into the air." Lawrence compares the snake to a god, indicating his reverence and the awe he feels in its presence.

2. Fear and Conflict: "But must I confess how I liked him," followed by "The voice of my education said to me / He must be killed." This shows his internal conflict, where his natural inclination to appreciate the snake is at odds with the societal expectation to kill it.

3. Guilt: "I despised myself and the voices of my accursed human education." After throwing a log at the snake to scare it away, Lawrence feels deep remorse and self-loathing for acting against his true feelings and succumbing to societal pressures.
