OpenStudy (inowalst):

What does jocund, sullen and destruction mean? I know what destruction means and its the action of destroying something, so that's eliminated. Jocund means to have high spirits, to be sprightly. Sullen means someone that isn't necessarily happy.

OpenStudy (inowalst):

So weeping is correct.
