Margery Kempe certainly embodies the "gift" of tears or "Compunction" of
tears.
The McEntire citation gives the "history" of the Compunction of tears. I
used both of these myself in an extensive grad essay. Highly recommend
these texts .
If anyone is interested indepth, you can contact me personally
