And whatever he touched in that rich fortress of his soul sprang into golden life: as the years passed, the fruit trees—the peach, the plum, the cherry, the apple—grew great and bent beneath their clusters. His grape vines thickened into brawny ropes of brown and coiled down the high wire fences of his lot, and hung in a dense fabric, upon his trellises, roping his domain twice around. They climbed the porch end of the house and framed the upper windows in thick bowers. And the flowers grew in rioting glory in his yard—the velvet-leaved nasturtium, slashed with a hundred tawny dyes, the rose, the snowball, the redcupped tulip, and the lily.

"Look Homeward, Angel: A Story of the Buried Life", was written by author Thomas Wolfe and it was published as an edited version of the original novel: "O Lost", which had been much longer. This novel was published in 1929. "Look Homeward, Angel" is the story of Eugene Gant, a boy who narrates his story from his birth to the day he comes of age at 19. However, at the very beginning, it seems that Eugene´s focus is more on talking about his own parents and their origins and so, we learn about Oliver Gant, Eugene´s father, who after a first marriage, much suffering, and a strong battle with alcoholism, meets Eliza Pentland with whom he has Eugene. In this particular excerpt, which comes from Oliver´s own experiences, and not Eugene´s, the character is talking about his own heart and soul, his own dreams and how they become real through the house he built for himself and Eliza. These images of bountiful produce are there because it is exactly how it happened and it shows the way that nature corresponded to the dreams and desires of Oliver´s own soul. The correct answer here then is: Bountiful harvests, to suggest Gant´s agricultural success.
