“TEDIUM, n. Ennui, the state or condition of one that is bored.

In this apparently natural derivation there is something that saddens.” FirstsHas BeensStatesFatherNaturalConditionsSourceAuthorityAncientObviousBoredFancyLatinHymnsEnnuiTedium Book:Delphi Complete Works of Ambrose Bierce (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Ambrose Bierce (Illustrated)
