'Melancholy' is in and of itself a fascinating word. Visually, at least, it could be like a homophone of 'symphony', as in an assemblage of beautiful instruments, as it ends in the same sometimes-vowel and contains the same orchestra of consonant blends, the sort that migrate softly from the wet and rarely-used places of the tongue. They are words meant to be aspirated; 'melancholy' involves a softness in the throat, and to vocalize it is to sigh, a little bit, which is fitting.

'Melancholy' is separate from 'sadness' [if there is anything to be learned from puerile Smashing Pumpkins memories it's this fact, preserved like an ant in amber in the album title involving 'and the']. The concept of 'sadness' implies grief and a certain hopelessness, while 'melancholy' implies a sorrow with purpose, an emotion with which one can be swathed as if it were a shroud. Swathed – no, more like 'swaddled', and in that regard melancholy is comfortable, a lozenge to be masticated for a reason, a sadness that has pensive pleasure melted into it, something it's comfortable to suckle and to be wrapped in.
