    Sullen \Sul"len\, a. [OE. solein, solain, lonely, sullen;
    through Old French fr. (assumed) LL. solanus solitary, fr. L.
    solus alone. See {Sole}, a.]
    1. Lonely; solitary; desolate. [Obs.] --Wyclif (Job iii. 14).

    2. Gloomy; dismal; foreboding. --Milton.

    Solemn hymns so sullen dirges change. --Shak.

    3. Mischievous; malignant; unpropitious.

    Such sullen planets at my birth did shine. --Dryden.

    4. Gloomily angry and silent; cross; sour; affected with ill
    humor; morose.

    And sullen I forsook the imperfect feast. --Prior.

    5. Obstinate; intractable.

    Things are as sullen as we are. --Tillotson.

    6. Heavy; dull; sluggish. ``The larger stream was placid, and
    even sullen, in its course.'' --Sir W. Scott.

    Syn: Sulky; sour; cross; ill-natured; morose; peevish;
    fretful; ill-humored; petulant; gloomy; malign;
    intractable.

    Usage: {Sullen}, {Sulky}. Both sullen and sulky show
    themselves in the demeanor. Sullenness seems to be an
    habitual sulkiness, and sulkiness a temporary
    sullenness. The former may be an innate disposition;
    the latter, a disposition occasioned by recent injury.
    Thus we are in a sullen mood, and in a sulky fit.

    No cheerful breeze this sullen region knows;
    The dreaded east is all the wind that blows.
    --Pope.
    -- {Sul"len*ly}, adv. --
    {Sul"len*ness}, n.

    1. The two groups babble at each other constantly, while the general public is locked out, sullenly wondering what is going on inside.
    2. The hostages stand sullenly in the fog as two taxis ferry them downtown to the Palacio Real, whose room service is good enough to provide the mineral water even at 2:30 a.m.
