Ivy in literature
“I can, parting this green curtain of ivy,
Measuring night or light in my eyes,
Soften the heat or brightness of the beam,
Or opening up an immense horizon for me,
From the depths of my retreat to these mountains suspended,
Let my gaze wander as far as the eye can see.”
Alphonse de Lamartine, Jocelyn
