这个名称指的是当时的中产阶级社会习俗，特别是这样一个事实：一个女孩的父母与一个收入很低的牧师订婚，通常不允许结婚，直到他获得一个更有报酬的职位，即教会等级制度。这个女孩被描绘成看着自己的名字（艾米），不久前，她的未婚夫雕刻在树干上，以表达他的爱。然而，雕刻即将被漫无边际的常春藤覆盖——长在树干上；空灵般年轻的激情正在被世俗的资本主义要求所迷失。可以说，这个象征反映了19世纪50年代末和19世纪60年代维多利亚时期英国的严峻现实。

The title refers to middle class social conventions of the time, in particular the fact that the parents of a girl engaged to a poorly paid curate would typically not allow the marriage until he had secured a more remunerative position - i.e. within the church hierarchy. The girl is depicted looking at her own name (Amy) carved, some while ago, into the trunk of the tree by her fiancé as an expression of his love. The carving, however, is about to be covered by rambling ivy - growing up the trunk; ethereal youthful passion is becoming lost to lassiez-faire worldly capitalist demands. It can be said that this symbolism reflects the stark realities of late 1850s and 1860s Victorian England
