[ROBINDESBOIS]

In English?

[Rusty]

he who waits despairs

Is there any other meaning attached to the phrase?

[ROBINDESBOIS]

No, just that the waiting is unbereable, is that used in English He who waits despairs or is just a litteral translation?

[Rusty]

It's both a literal and a recognizable translation. You can say that the waiting was unbearable, and there are other ways to say the wait was too long.
