Master of Black Bitterness/ melancholic

A melancholic person. A pessimist (compared to 'Master of Red Bitterness' who is considered an angry person).

("Whoever is seized by black bitterness will be relieved by hearing melodies and kinds of song and through a decent walk" - Rambam/ Eight Chapters, 5; and also: "For these women are always fighting one another, because they are two opposites; the illness is that everything is dances and joy, and from it are drawn the jesters and revelers, and it is good to slaughter cattle and sheep; and Lilith is the opposite, a tongue of wailing, and from it are drawn the masters of black bitterness and sorrow and sighing, each of their kind, therefore they fight together" - Shlah, Parashat Beshalach Torah Light; and also: "By nature he is boiling, despised and scorned, among masters of red and black bitterness alike, hating everything and hated by all" - Byalik / Aryeh Baal Guf, 37; and also: "Whoever was born under the constellation of Mars loves man... masters of black bitterness are drawn after the black" - Agnon / Yesterday, 247; and also: "I grieved before him and said: I have sorrow in the matter and I am immersed in black bitterness..." - H. Hazaz / A Man from Israel, 174)
