Wall must get the weather stain Before they grow the ivy. (Quote by - Elizabeth Barrett Browning)
When the ivy-tod is heavy with snow, / And the owlet whoops to the wolf below. (Quote by - Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

Where round some mould'ring tow'r pale ivy creeps, And low-brow'd rocks hang nodding o'er the deeps. (Quote by - Alexander Pope)
