The melancholiac's world is made up of different shades of melancholy. Black, naturally, but also for some sunny yellow. The bright, the dark, the pastel; all can seem to torment the melancholic mind, and with them bring terrors and demons.
Melancholy: a condition typical of artists expressed in depressing realism, nothing softened; all hard words or hard lines, speaking on or depicting the futility of humankind.
