Untoward

untoward: [uhn-tohrd] adjective marked by trouble or unhappiness; improper; difficult to guide, manage, or work with.


Yet it befell, that, in this lonely place,
When I with these untoward thoughts had striven,
Beside a pool bare to the eye of heaven
I saw a Man before me unawares...

----William Wordsworth
Resolution and Independence
