...like that. Couldn't help thinking it should be "darkness" rather than "dark" - odd how "light" can be noun, adjective, or verb (often with several meanings each) while "dark," strictly speaking, is mostly an adjective. Shows a bias, perhaps, at least in modern English. On another track, diamonds play with light despite their hard density. And consequently also with dark[ness].

Thanks for fixing that, duke! And yes, it should be "darkness". Thanks for pointing that out about the diamond. Totally works on a metaphorical level!
