GLOOM [ Also see Melancholy Sadness ] Gloom and sadness are poison to us, and the origin of hysterics. You are right in thinking that this disease is in the imagination; you have defined it perfectly; it is vexation which causes it to spring up, and fear that supports it.       - Marquise de Sevigne, Marie de Rabutin-Chantal He who is only just is stern; he who is only wise lives in gloom.       - Voltaire (Francois Marie Arouet Voltaire) Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C.
