Maybe I'm not explaining myself well -- the passages you've quoted above do tell us in very poetic language that some character is sad that their sons died in battle, but they don't show that, really. As a reader, we have no access to their interior mental state, we just get the narrator's report that Herebald carries "heart-sorrow" (great word!). Something like this article might explain the distinction I'm not articulating correctly: http://nautil.us/issue/65/in-plain-sight/why-doesnt-ancient-... |
