What's the word I'm thinking of? Today, it's....
EJULATION [ej-yoo-LAY-shun]
(noun)
A wailing; lamentation
“‘Eleven years of solitary confinement!’ is the ejulation of Mr.
Dickens, forgetting the crime for which the man was imprisoned!”
--Joseph Adshead, Prisons and Prisoners (1845) (TWITO, page 44)
