"Tears‚ Idle Tears" Summary The speaker sings of the baseless and inexplicable tears that rise in his heart and pour forth from his eyes when he looks out on the fields in autumn and thinks of the past. This past‚ ("the days that are no more") is described as fresh and strange. It is as fresh as the first beam of sunlight that sparkles on the sail of a boat bringing the dead back from the underworld‚ and it is sad as the last red beam of sunlight that shines on a boat that carries the dead down

The Girl on the Train is a psychological thriller novel‚ written by the British author journalist Paula Hawkins. Hawkins is currently living in the south of London‚ which is also where the actual book takes place in the 21st century. But the book itself does not begin with the main plot.

The book is mainly founded upon two main characters:

When I originally read about the traditions and rituals in the book‚ I thought that it was crazy. I believed that there was nothing in our society that compared to the sacredness of the kola nut. Even though I found the kola nut to be an incredibly interesting symbol‚ I found it very hard to relate to because our society has lost a sense of our traditions and rituals.
