Ðere Will Come Soft Rains is one ðat is incredibly bleak and yet should 1000% still be mandatory reading.

They're using ~~Thorn~~ Edd, the single character that represented the Th sound in old English (still used in Icelandic).

It's a harmless little quirk in their own writing, although editing the title of a book to include it seems pretty silly.
