Dark

How would it look like this...

Light

Effulgent, incandescent

Flashing, glowing, shining

Sunrise, flames…dusk, shadow

Dimming, dulling, obscuring

Gloomy, black

Dark

...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].
