disillusionment

Translation
disillusionment
a) A feeling that arises from the discovery that something is not what it was anticipated to be, commonly held to be stronger than disappointment especially when a belief central to one’s identity is shown to be false.

But till I am thirty, I know that my youth will triumph over everything- every disillusionment, every disgust with life.

b) The act of freeing from an illusion; the state of being freed therefrom.

I catch on your face the old sad smile / Of our ancient disillusionment, / When the ardent crowd tries to beguile / Your world-old soul to impassionment.
