What can be inferred from this passage about the times in which whither and garrison lived

Yeah, sorta because when you cry, tears fall from your eyes and run down your face; when you’re underwater and try doing this, it won’t work out this way. A person can let the tear fall from their eye but it won’t really run down their face, it will just mix in with the rest of the water. It might feel like they are crying but without the tear, you won’t be able to see it. This isn’t really the full crying experience because one of the major components is missing-the heavy breathing.
