They are the most painful tears in the world ... the tears of the aged ... for they come from dried beds where the emotions have long burned low.
Let the poor man mind his tongue
Tears are the noble language of eyes, and when true love of words is destitute. The eye by tears speak, while the tongue is mute.
O sin, how you paint your face! how you flatter us poor mortals on to death! You never appear to the sinner in your true character; you make fair promises, but you never fulfil one; your tongue is smoother than oil, but the poison of asps is under your lip!

Who among us is not at a loss for words? Tears pour out. Tears of joy. Tears of relief. A stunning, whopping landslide of hope in a time of deep despair.
