A palm, which has been brought from its tropical
home to a conservatory in St. Petersburg, struggles
towards the clear sky and burning sun of its native
land. It grows on in the hope of bursting through the
glass roof of the conservatory and gaining its freedom.
Finally, the wished-for moment comes. The panes in
the roof yield to the pressure of its branches, the
curled-down plant stretches itself out into the clear air
of the open day. Then it meets the cold wind and the
damp snow. It is frozen through, its crown withers
away, and the owner of the conservatory has the tree
cut down.
