forebode

To predict a future event; to hint at something that will happen (especially as a literary device).

There can be, if I forebode aright, no power, short of the Divine mercy, to disclose, whether by uttered words, or by type or emblem, the secrets that may be buried with a human heart.

To be prescient of (some ill or misfortune); to have an inward conviction of, as of a calamity which is about to happen; to augur despondingly.

Sullen, desponding, and foreboding nothing but wars and desolation, as the certain consequence of Caesar's death.

Here sits he shaping wings to fly: / His heart forebodes a mystery: / He names the name Eternity.

prognostication; presage
