Queen of the Black Coast 4
- QUEEN OF THE BLACK COAST 4 - A black ink and black color pencil drawing on an 11 x 14 size coquille board. It appears as Plate 4 in my 1976 Conan art folio, "QUEEN OF THE BLACK COAST," based on the story by Robert E. Howard, published by Bortner & Kruse.
In this picture, Conan is preparing Belit for burial at sea. I had difficulty deciding whether the expression on his face should be mad, or sad.

Death in fiction mirrors death in real life.
In real life when someone dies . . . a bell tolls;
No human is an island unto itself, we are all part of the main,
Anyone's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind,
And therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls;
It tolls for thee . . .
John Donne
