4.9/5 (21927 ratings)

Description:Excerpt from The Sensitive Plant In the attempt, however, to identify Shelley's plant with Mimosa pudica, which is a straggling shrub not attaining a height of more than three or four feet when grown in a hot-house, the question of temperature becomes a very difficult one. For Mimosa pudica would not grow in an open garden at Pisa, or anywhere else in Italy, if the climate involved frost. But if the climate did not involve frost, then the Sensitive Plant could not be killed by it, and the poem loses its point. The only theory upon which the facts stated in the poem are prosaically explicable, is that the Sensitive Plant was bedded out, from a hot-house, for the summer, and was left to perish with cold when winter came.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
