history
From 《雨霖铃·寒蝉凄切》 by 柳永 (Liu Yong, Northern Song), a canonical parting ci: '执手相看泪眼，竟无语凝噎.' Pairs with 今宵酒醒何处？杨柳岸，晓风残月 later in the same ci — Liu Yong's signature heartbreak-in-a-harbor mood.
usage
噎 (yē) = 'choke on something' (same character as in 因噎废食). Here 凝噎 = 'congealed sob / choked silence.'
