I cannot think of a single word to describe what we feel. I think we all feel it, to varying degrees. Perhaps in some other language there is a word for 'the world is terribly wrong.' That feeling of stun and unbelief and abandonment and shock and horror and distress.

How sad it must be for you to be nothing more than a hollow statue, to have your tomb preserved and your story forgotten.
