Sweet William in the Window and a City Death
A vivid urban vignette follows a pot of sweet william placed on a fifth-floor windowsill above busy tin roofs. A sick woman, her lover Charley, and a doctor frame a tragic tale of love, illness, neglect, and a fatal moment as a desperate attempt to save her ends in heartbreak and loss.
