I meant diapason primarily in these two senses:
1. "a swelling sound, as of a grand burst of harmony." (OED)
2. "a rich, full, deep outburst of sound."
It's supposed to be as if a great outpouring from the soul cannot be contained in the body and must escape through the eyes in the form of tears. I also intended diapason in the sense:
3. "the whole range of tones or notes in the scale."
I thought it called to mind that her love was literally sounding the depths of my soul. But I'll still consider your suggestion. Thanks.
