Question:“On sorrow”

On sorrow

Sorrow of this kind is grief with one drop of injustice stirred in. Had someone noticed, it would have stayed plain grief.

Tell it to one person, but tell them what you hoped for, not what was done to you. Once the hope is spoken, sorrow turns back into grief, and grief passes.

Achilles sat alone by the grey sea and called his mother. Thetis rose from the water like mist and heard her son to the end.
