"The Picture" and "She wept Black tears"

Two books, different as mourning, each as sad and each as beautiful in a reflective way as the other. I hope that you like them both, different, yet related as they are.
I suspect that someday someone will compare these books and have an epiphany noticing that they have much in common whilst being completely different. Students of literature do such things.
Still I recommend these books to you even if they are short and a way to fill my schedule before "Winters Ghost" appears. There is much to be enjoyed here In the meantime. Beautiful and sad tales.

Wondrous and magestic tales that will make you worry and weep, love and appreciate those that you love.
