Here sighs and lamentations and loud cries were echoing across the starless air, so that, as soon as I set out, I wept.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker describes entering a place where sighs, laments and loud cries echoed through air without stars. The overwhelming sound of suffering affected them at once, so that they were weeping as soon as they set out, moved to tears before going any further.
