Etimologia (Inglese)

Ereditato da inglese medio: blaknesse

In summary

Inherited from Middle English blaknesse, equivalent to black + -ness. Sense 5 most likely both originated from the masque The Masque of Blackness by Ben Jonson and later changed to its current positive sense.

Frasi

I remember how I sat on the table there in the blackness , with patches of green and crimson swimming before my eyes .

Ricordo come mi sono seduto sul tavolo lì nell'oscurità, con macchie di verde e cremisi che nuotano davanti ai miei occhi.
