Redcurrant Garden

"About the garden an unchallenged rule applied. Life, in its most saturated form took place there and whether it was by a single exception or an unwavering principle that she let the bushes grow, they trumped her high-held tradition of neatness. A willingness and a joy appeared to reside in every branch and every berry that grew in the garden. A joy in being, a greater joy in the idea of continuing to be and an unkempt and unshaken ecstasy in the hope of springing anew that fall brings about."
