Letter "I" » Ivy
"For ivy climbs the crumbling hall
To decorate decay."
Author: Philip James Bailey
About: Ivy
"That headlong ivy! not a leaf will grow
But thinking of a wreath, . . .
I like such ivy; bold to leap a height
'Twas strong to climb! as good to grow on graves
As twist about a thyrsus; pretty too
(And that's not ill) when twisted round a comb."
Author: Elizabeth Barrett Browning
About: Ivy
"Wall must get the weather stain
Before they grow the ivy."
Author: Elizabeth Barrett Browning
About: Ivy
"The rugged trees are mingling
Their flowery sprays in love;
The ivy climbs the laurel
To clasp the boughs above."
Author: William Cullen Bryant
About: Ivy
"As creeping ivy clings to wood or stone,
And hides the ruin that it feeds upon."
Author: William Cowper
About: Ivy
"Oh, a dainty plant is the ivy green,
That creepeth o'er ruins old!
Of right choice food are his meals I ween,
In his cell so lone and cold.
. . . .
Creeping where no life is seen,
A rare old plant is the ivy green."
Author: Charles Dickens
About: Ivy
"Direct
The clasping ivy where to climb."
Author: John Milton
About: Ivy
"On my velvet couch reclining,
Ivy leaves my brow entwining,
While my soul expands with glee,
What are kings and crowns to me?"
Author: Thomas Moore
About: Ivy

The creeping, dirty, courtly Ivy join."
Author: Alexander Pope

And low-brow'd rocks hang nodding o'er the deeps."
