Ennuye

In the meanwhile, Monsieur continued his route with an air at once so melancholy and so majestic, that he certainly would have attracted the attention of spectators, if spectators there had been; but the good citizens of Blois could not pardon Monsieur for having chosen their gay city for an abode in which to indulge melancholy at his ease, and as often as they caught a glimpse of the illustrious ennuye, they stole away gaping, or drew back their heads into the interior of their dwellings, to escape the soporific influence of that long pale face, of those watery eyes, and that languid address; so that the worthy prince was almost certain to find the streets deserted whenever he chanced to pass through them.

Her anachronistic equation of ennui with boredom--which is the meaning the word has come to take in contemporary French but which, for Baudelaire and for many other nineteenth-century writers, Flaubert included, still carried much of its darker and loftier classical flavour--makes it well-nigh synonymous with the French poet's beloved spleen, a meaning which, literatures moving in mysterious ways across the Atlantic as they do, may have led Whitman specifically to seize on this word in its adjectival form (i.e., ennuye).
