Distress. Something that burdens the spirit. A troubled state of mind. ''The stress of daily life produces carks in all of us.''

Grogie,

You are the uncrowned king of esoterica. Long may you reign!

I just had to look this one up after coming across it in a Dick Francis book. So about 50 years ago it was still in use.

Strange, a crow carks here. If you cark it though, you are brown bread (dead).
