Melancholy

Never suffer yourself to be subdued by melancholy; it is amongst the things that will most injure you. It is impossible to persevere in the path of holiness, if we give not ourselves to it with joy. The love of God should impart peace to the soul.

~MADAME DE GUYON (1648-1717)

Melancholy - a feeling of thoughtful sadness.

A gloomy state of mind, often a gloomy state that is of some continuance, or habitual.
