Melancolia

Albrecht Dürer, Melencolia I, 1514
.
.

"By Melancholy, saith he, some men are made as it were divine, foretelling things to come, and some men are made Poets. He saith also, that all men that were excellent in any Science, were for the most part melancholy. Democritus, and Plato attest the same, saying, that there were some melancholy men, that had such excellent wits, that they were thought, and seemed to be more divine then humane."

Heinrich Cornelius Agrippa in Of Ocult Philosophy, Livro I, parte 3
