Sometimes I could cope with the sullen despair that overwhelmed me: but
sometimes the whirlwind passions of my soul drove me to seek, by bodily

The phrase “sullen despair” is particularly evocative. It paints a vivid picture of a deep, brooding melancholy that seems almost tangible. This despair is not just a fleeting sadness but an overwhelming force that threatens to engulf the very essence of one’s being. It is a weight that presses down, making it difficult to breathe or move forward.
