I know that there is no justice in this veil of tears, but occasionally there is.

Since we have only hope in this life, let's hope the czar is going to get his comeuppance for his incomprehensible cruelty.

Hitler did.
Mussolini did.
That Romanian dictator did in 1989. (He stood on a balcony talking to "his" people. They suddenly turned on him. He and his wife fled. They were caught and were ...)

Just thought I'd share that the term is actually,

"vale of tears"

It's a term I love, having learned it as a child from praying the Catholic prayer, Salve Regina (Hail Holy Queen). It's my favorite Marian antiphon!

It actually translates in more modern fashion to,

"valley of tears",

much as Psalm 23's,

"Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death"

(another one of my faves)

Anyway - I just felt a need to be pandemic, and you left that hanging right there for me to pluck! :p

Thank you so much for your correction.

I think the English language is the greatest language of all, so I would never purposely use the wrong word.

I found your use of "pandemic" to be very clever. Of course, you meant ...

'Nada!

I think the English language is the greatest language of all, so I would never purposely use the wrong word.

I love language, I really do.

Besides being a voracious reader, I like to write, and used to write music - too. So yeah, I take words seriously, and get a real joy out of wordplay.

Of course, I don't hold others to standards. I just thought you'd appreciate that little tidbit of knowledge.

As to that phrase itself, It's really beautiful in the context of the Marian prayer!

Check it out, below:

--

"To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve. To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this vale of tears! Turn, then, most gracious Advocate, thine eyes of mercy toward us, and after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus"

Those lines above have a lot of poignancy in spiritual & theological terms, especially amongst Catholics. But even without any spiritual or theological meaning or understanding, I think this is great writing! You could lyricize it, and put it to music - and many classical composers have! In fact, it is regularly recited in Latin Chant by cenobite religious orders like the Benedictines & Franciscans, as part of their regular prayers (the Devine Office).

When you read even prosaic writing, back in the middle of the last century or earlier, just a scant 70 years ago, it just seemed to have so much more literary quality.

Haha, actually that was a - perhaps Freudian - slip! Sometimes luck trumps skill!

Anyway, thanks for letting me rattle-on, combining two of my favorite subjects! (Writing & Catholicism)

Yes, I read (don't know how accurate it was) that Stalin was talking with his fellow thugs when he had a heart attack. One of his thugs started jumping up and down with joy that Thug #1 was gone. But then Stalin showed a sign of life, and that joyous fellow thug became terrified at what might happen to him for having jumped up and down. Stalin, however, did not recover.
