Typo - you want "vale of tears", not "veil".

(I'm now on record with several comments like this one. Please let me know if they annoy. It's a quirk of mine that egregious misspellings bias me toward thinking less of the writer and the writing, but it seems to be a widely shared one.)

Strictly speaking, "veil of tears" is not egregious, but I do generally like to be corrected when I make errors of that kind.
