Saturnine

saturnine: [sat-er-nahyn] adjective cold and steady in mood; gloomy; taciturn.


Do not because this day I have grown saturnine
Imagine that lost love, inseparable from my thought
Because I have no other youth, can make me pine;
For how should I forget the wisdom that you brought,
The comfort that you made?

----William Butler Yeats
