William Carlos Williams: “so much depends upon a red wheel barrow glazed with rain water beside the white chickens.” I don't know what it means, but I know it exists and that Dr. Williams wrote it while waiting for a child to die. So, perhaps, it’s his way to dedicate something to that poor child. Nothing depends in the red wheelbarrow glazed with rain water, beside the white chickens, but maybe that’s what was around him while the child was dying, and his death is depending upon...something. Or his life is depending on something. Or maybe the child loved that red wheelbarrow, or it was a toy red wheelbarrow. Or maybe the child contracted his fatal end from touching an old wheelbarrow. But either way, the red wheelbarrow was glazed in rainwater, beside the white chickens A child died And so much depended on that wheelbarrow. Or did it? :;,
