Definition
sad beyond comforting
- Being in this disconsolate state, I heard, or at least thought I heard, some kind of grating noise on that side of my box where the staples were fixed; and soon after I began to fancy that the box was pulled or towed along the sea; for I now and then felt a sort of tugging, which made the waves rise near the tops of my windows, leaving me almost in the dark.Part 2 — A Voyage to Brobdingnag (89% in)
There are no more uses of "disconsolate" in Gulliver's Travels.
