I think you've gone a way to getting the barrow back - I think Molly Malone had a fair grasp of it, as well as WCW, and we have to remember that until *relatively* recently, in the US/UK/Australia at least, the barrow had a far greater presence in everyday life as a work tool in city streets. Still does in other parts of the world. And I've always loved those wooden barrows with removable slats in the sides - grab a gardening book from the 20s or 30s and you'll see one. I saw one in an antique shop a while back - cost a poultice to buy an idea of work it seemed to me... caleb > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Poetryetc: poetry and poetics [mailto:[log in to unmask]] > > On Behalf Of Stephen Vincent > > Sent: 11 April 2007 22:34 > > To: [log in to unmask] > > Subject: Re: Snap - Wheelbarrow Ends > > > > > Rare sightings.
