IVIV a bit more re: barbed wire p 24

[Doug Millison]

The barbed wire -- would it be bloodstained from too-close cattle? --  
in IV reminds me of the driver's whip in M&D.

"darken'd to its Lash-Tips with the sweat and blood of Drove after  
Drove […] the metal Wires work'd into each lash, it's purpose purely  
to express hate with, and Hate's Corollary […] The Herdsman […]  
" (MD 696-697)

"His collection even includes pieces of barbed wire the Nazis used to  
encircle their concentration camps in the 1930s and 1940s in Germany."
