Languor

languor: [lan-ger] noun lack of energy or vitality; weakness or weariness of body or mind; listless indolence.


Lo, thus, as prostrate, \'In the dust I write
My heart's deep languor and my soul's sad tears.'
Yet why evoke the spectres of black night
To blot the sunshine of exultant years?

----James Thomson
The City of Dreadful Night
