Post literature that made you cry

For me it’s the Iliad. The final scene between Priam and Achilles brings floods of tears.

There is no form of rational and assured government save an aristocracy. […] There are but three beings worthy of respect: the priest, the warrior and the poet. To know, to kill and to create. The rest of mankind may be taxed and drudged, they are born for the stable, that is to say, to practise what they call professions."- Charles Baudelaire

What books express this sentiment? This worldview seems appealing to me

Best translation of the Iliad and Odyessey? I have the E.V Rieu version but I’m sure there are better out there

I shed some tears in the last scene that Priam and Achilles share their pain over losing Patroclus and Hector respectively. It is the scene I remember the most out of the poem, to be honest.
