PESSIMISTIC
Cynical Gloomy
A peddler of pessimism
He has always had a plentiful stock of gloomy ideas
A heart of lead in my breast
It hangs like a dark pall over——
The unpleasant intelligence of——
The most ominous feature of it all was——
Any attempt was foredoomed to failure
No rosy delusions should be permitted to warp our judgment
There is a little of the melancholy element in——
Augured evil
Doleful recollections
Smothered under the wet blanket of——
He indulges in the gloomiest forebodings
A most discouraging frame of mind
Fallen into the Slough of Despond
I found myself under my juniper tree
It is the very mystery of perversity
He is in a woeful state of mind
A sense of desolation
There came upon my heart an intolerable burden of despondency
A dreary conclusion
The unexpected and adverse strokes of fortune
A damper of my hopes
A gloomy consolation
A discouraging moment
Friendless, homeless, hopeless, undone
Impossible of accomplishment
Grave symptoms
A forlorn hope
A nameless foreboding
One has to be optimistic to find anything hopeful in the present outlook
A somber and mournful aspect
A sign of ill omen
He has the habit of dating existence by the memory of its burdens
A sea of trouble
Under the pressure of calamity
A welter of sordid interests
A very flood of wretchedness
A sorry plight
Moments when one grows sick of mankind
Inexpressibly miserable
A very gloomy report
He is etching the black pictures deeper and deeper into his consciousness
By some strange fatality
Hearts bursting with despair
A terrible legacy
With a groan of sickening remorse
With a sense of desolation
Many vicissitudes
All true in a finished civilization
He has seen many a bitter day of sorely tried hopes
The many accessories of evil
Crushed by burdens
The misspent strivings of mankind
Errant human nature
To move in paralyzing dread
Man is born to trouble as the sparks fly upward
A particularity which converts every trifle into a thorn
A dark and stormy sea
