Fanthorpe

[edit]

Re this line:

U. A. Fanthorpe, in her poem "Special", refers to a class of children looking after a dog as 'Clerks of the Weather'.

Obviously we can't mention every use of a term. What is interesting about this use? It is not early, it doesn't add any information about the characterization of clerks of the weather. For readers who have not read this poem (like me), it is unclear why she is using this term. I plan to remove this line unless someone can demonstrate what it adds to the article. --Macrakis (talk) 10:05, 14 August 2015 (UTC)[reply]
