         Comments: In a number of languages it is impossible to speak of ‘darkness’ as being an agent in the sense of {S:04202304400016} ‘darkness covered the whole country.’ Accordingly, one must say ‘throughout the whole country it was dark’ or ‘it darkened over the whole country.’ In some languages darkness may be characterized as being a quality of the night, for example, ‘it was like night.’
