She wept bitterly.

She wept bitterly.

Even my mom started crying when she heard this.

She said she cried when they left, as they were so beautiful.

And of course my mum cried when I gave her the news on the phone, with a mobile I borrowed from a friend.

Neither did the heavens weep for them , nor the earth , nor were they granted respite .

So the heavens and the earth did not weep for them , and they were not given respite .

Neither heaven nor earth wept for them , nor were they respited

And the heavens and the earth wept not over them , nor were they respited .

And the heavens and the earth wept not for them , nor were they given a respite .

Neither heaven nor earth wept over them , nor were they reprieved .

Then neither the sky shed tears over them nor the earth . They were granted no respite .

And the heaven and the earth wept not for them , nor were they reprieved .

So neither the sky wept for them , nor the earth nor were they granted any respite .

Neither heaven nor earth shed tears for them nor were they respited ,

And the heaven and earth wept not for them , nor were they reprieved .

The sky nor the earth cried for them , nor were they given respite .

So the heaven and the earth did not weep for them , nor were they respited .

Neither heaven nor earth wept for them , nor were they allowed any respite .

And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them nor were they given a respite ( again ) .

Neither did the heavens weep for them , nor the earth , nor were they granted respite .

So the heavens and the earth did not weep for them , and they were not given respite .

Neither heaven nor earth wept for them , nor were they respited

And the heavens and the earth wept not over them , nor were they respited .

And the heavens and the earth wept not for them , nor were they given a respite .

Neither heaven nor earth wept over them , nor were they reprieved .

Then neither the sky shed tears over them nor the earth . They were granted no respite .

And the heaven and the earth wept not for them , nor were they reprieved .

So neither the sky wept for them , nor the earth nor were they granted any respite .

Neither heaven nor earth shed tears for them nor were they respited ,

And the heaven and earth wept not for them , nor were they reprieved .

The sky nor the earth cried for them , nor were they given respite .

So the heaven and the earth did not weep for them , nor were they respited .

Neither heaven nor earth wept for them , nor were they allowed any respite .

And neither heaven nor earth shed a tear over them nor were they given a respite ( again ) .

And so this woman emptied out her suitcase and gave all of her clothes to my mother, and to us, and the toys of her kids, who didn't like that very much, but that was the only time she cried.

I particularly remember two reactions, one of a person who read one of my fiction stories and told me that she almost cried because she felt that the character was herself and another, of a person who read my work on the situation of water in Valencia, and was so shocked that remained speechless for a few long minutes.
