Перевернутое дерево мне сразу что-то напомнило. Стала искать roots in heaven, нашла вот что: "The answer to this question touches the very core of Judaism. In Deuteronomy 20:19, it is taught that we are forbidden to cut down a fruit tree. “For from it you will eat and do not cut it down, for man is the tree of the field.” What does this verse mean? The Maharal of Prague (Rabbi Yehuda Loewe, 1526-1609) explains that there is a magnificent connection between man and a tree. He writes that man is indeed like a tree. His body is like the tree trunk and his limbs are like the branches. But, he is an “upside down tree.” The tree has its roots in the ground while man has his roots in heaven." ( отсюда ) Но это не то, что мне вспоминалось - "то" было что-то из английского ренессанса, то ли Фрэнсис Бэкон, то ли кто еще, хоть убей не могу припомнить :(

что-то связанное с перевернутым деревом вертится и у меня в голове, но тоже не ловится.
