Re: under the ivy/cloudbusting/wilhelm reich

Hello...I'm not sure how long this thread has been going on, as I haven't 
read through this newsgroup in forever...and I hope that this hasn't 
already come up...but I'm next to positive that the song is about the 
book _The Secret Garden_. Subtextual interpretations about intimacy, 
etc., aren't mutually exclusive with my hypothesis...

_The Secret Garden_ is a children's favorite...anyone else read it? 

The first time I heard Under the Ivy was at a friend's house...I thought 
it was beautiful, but didn't listen too closely at first hearing. A few 
nights later I dreamt that Kate was in my apartment, and I asked her if 
the song was about the book, and she said "Yes, but I haven't read it", 
which was kind of an odd answer. Anyway, in the dream I went digging 
around my bookshelves to find my copy of the book, and when I turned 
around to give it to her, she was gone. That's the only time I've ever 
dreamt about her, and the first time I'd ever dreamt of a "famous" person.

Yours Irrelevantly,

Sarah
