Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Why Women Want Socialism There is a tiny wee plant of Virginia creeper which I have transplanted with more or less great expectations from one garden to another, three times. It is some years since - with grand memories of its former glories on the old red wall - I put it in the sheltered corner it now occupies. But, somehow or other, it never grows but a few inches high. At that stage it "Stops short, never to go again," like grandfather´s clock in the one-time popular song. I went to look at this little pet creeper this morning. It is May, you must know, and the garden is beginning to glory things up. The red geraniums are out, with more buds waiting to open. The blue-bells lie like a bit of heaven on the brown earth beneath the big tree. Peonies and irises are painting the black tarred fence in purple and red, and everything is flourishing, except that one bit of creeper. It is really funny - or would be if it were not pathetic. It holds out its trembling little five-fingered hands, pink-tipped like a baby´s, as to say: "You know I can never grow. I never have since you tore me down from the old red wall, where I could stretch my limbs as far as I liked. Here the ivy gets in my way horribly: and no sooner does the sun get hot enough to feel than the southern-wood puts out its leaves right in front.
