Tears

Snowflakes had gathered
in her eyelashes

and made it appear
as though she
had been crying.

Sobs

The whole point of crying
was to quit before
your cornied it up.

The whole point of grief
itself was to cut it out
while it was still honest,
while it still meant something.

— Richard Yates, "Revolutionary Road"
