| + | '''Sorrow''' is an [[emotion]], [[feeling]], or sentiment. Sorrow 'is more "[[intense]]" than sadness...it implies a long term state'. At the same time 'sorrow - but not unhappiness - suggests a [[degree]] of [[resignation]]...which lends sorrow its peculiar air of [[dignity]]'. Sorrow can be said to be half way between sadness ([[accepting]]) and distress (not accepting)'. |
