Ivy in literature
“Yes, I am the dreamer; I am the comrade
Little golden flowers on the decaying wall,
And the interlocutor of trees and wind.
You see, I know all about that. I have often,
In May, when the branches are swollen with fragrance,
Conversations with the wallflowers;
I get advice from ivy and blueberries”.”
Victor Hugo, Les Contemplations
