OP In ophthalmology, epiphora means excessive secretion of tears.
I can't quite reconcile this with the meaning in poetry:
EPISTROPHE (ehp-ISS-truh-fee)
Also called epiphora, the repetition of a word or expression at the end of successive phrases or verses, as in Lincoln's "of the people, by the people, for the people."
