“I saw within the wheelwright’s shed
The big round cartwheels, blue and red”
Vita Sackville-West (1892–1962) English writer and gardener
"Making Cider", p. 100
The Land (1926)
Context: I saw within the wheelwright’s shed
The big round cartwheels, blue and red;
A plough with blunted share;
A blue tin jug; a broken chair;
And paint in trial patchwork square
Slapping up against the wall;
The lumber of the wheelwright’s trade,
And tools on benches neatly laid,
The brace, the adze, the awl;
Conor Cruise O'Brien (1917–2008) Irish politician
The Observer, October 10, 1982
