About This Quote
This line comes from a poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, who wrote in the 1850s, “There was a little maid, who had a little gazebo in her garden; and in this gazebo she used to sit and dream.” It describes the secret garden in which the girl’s heart could bloom. It’s like a seed that can grow into something beautiful.
