[00:00:00]There is silent and long-suffering sorrow to be met with among the peasantry.

[00:00:05]It withdraws [music] into itself and is still.

[00:00:09]But there is a grief that breaks out, and from [music] that minute it bursts into tears and finds vent in wailing.

[00:00:16]This is particularly common with women, but it is no lighter a grief than the silent.

[00:00:22]Lamentations comfort only by lacerating [music] the heart still more.

[00:00:27]Such grief does not desire consolation.

[00:00:31]It feeds on the sense [music] of its hopelessness.

[00:00:34]Lamentations spring only from the constant craving [music] to reopen the wound.
