maudlin \MAWD-lin\ adjective 1. tearfully or weakly emotional; foolishly sentimental: a maudlin story of a little orphan and her lost dog. 2. foolishly or mawkishly sentimental because of drunkenness. Quotes Dylan sings just one song, "The Love That Faded," and it has an archetypal Williams lyric, melancholy verging on maudlin, with terrific poetic compression: "Brown eyes, blue eyes, they're all the same / None are for me, I've lost this game." -- Ben Greenman, "Not Alone, Not Forsake," The New Yorker, October 10, 2011 Origin Maudlin entered English in the early 1500s. It stems from the Greek word Magdalēnḗ referring to Mary Magdalene, who was portrayed in art as a weeping penitent.
