Take two hands,
a heart full of grief,
rip wide the cage to ease its release,
Oh, scream I cannot stand…

In 1983 I illustrated this. In 1993 I made a sculpture described here. It too dissapeared.

Maybe I should make another? Would the monetary needs I have ease up?

The silent cry wakes up the rain-gods and then it rains , very silently.

Oh and don’t forget Demi Moore’s single big juicy teardrop falling down her face while working on a pottery wheel because her boyfriend who only says “ditto” is dead. Wah, I feel like crying now!

and all this time i thought the figure in “the scream” was supposed to be a representation of that kid mccauley culkin plays in “home alone.”

I won’t be doing the “I Wish I Was In Vegas” cry for the next few days. Why? Because I’m going! Tomorrow!

You did forget a key one, though — the “why don’t they re-run 90210 anymore” cry.

I once mistakenly interpreted a man choking at a restaurant table for the silent cry and sympathetically imagined the woman he was with just told him she was leaving him for another man. Luckily their server was not as melodramatically inclined as I and saved his life.

Powerfully deep prose today, Paul.

Jacquie - Yeah, there’s about 45 other documented cries, including the “fatigued cry”, the “Back to the Future George McFly cry” and my all time favorite… the “I Have the Power of Greyskull” cry.

I silently cry every time I visit this site, but it’s tears of joy, tears of frickin’ joy.
