Notes "Les feuilles parlerons(t) pour moi. Attachement. A ma bonne petite Mere." "The leaves speak for me. Attachement. To my good little mother." The ivy resembles eternal attachement to his mother, as ivy does not let go of objects it climbs on and is green all year round and thus eternal. In Ancient Egypt, ivy was dedicated to Osiris, symbol of immortality. Translation and edit with ivy leaves done by Didier. |
