Abstract

A metaphor as a device attempts to teach a person to see a text, an object, or an event from a twofold perspective. The article is a contemporary attempt at demonstrating this within a concrete natural and historical setting. The vehicle (object) of the proposed metaphor is the common ivy (hedera helix), while its subject is habit or addiction. The metaphor is situated and discussed in the context of the 19th-century Palace and Park Complex in Wodzisław Śląski-Kokoszyce.
