Green tunnels

    "Back from a good week end at Rodmell - a week end of no talking, sinking at once into deep safe book reading; & then sleep: clear, transparent; with the may tree like a breaking wave outside; & all the garden green tunnels, mounds of green: & then to wake into the hot still day, & never a person to be seen, never an interruption: the place to ourselves: the long hours."

    Virginia Woolf, as quoted by Caroline Zoob in Virginia Woolf's Garden: The Story of the Garden at Monk's House.
