Welshrats
Bedstand reading this week: East of Eden
An ache was on the top of his stomach, an apprehension that was like a sick thought. It was a Weltschmerz - which we use to call "Welshrats" - the world sadness that rises into the soul like a gas and spreads despair so that you probe for the offending event and can find none.
Well, I found a few, actually.
