Gloom }.
Usage :
Darkness arises from a total ,
and dimness from a partial ,
want of light .
A thing is obscure when so overclouded or covered as not to be easily perceived .
As tha shade or obscurity increases ,
it deepens into gloom .
What is dark is hidden from view ;
what is obscure is difficult to perceive or penetrate ;
the eye becomes dim with age ;
an impending storm fills the atmosphere with gloom .
When taken figuratively ,
these words have a like use ;
as ,
the darkness of ignorance ;
dimness of discernment ;
obscurity of reasoning ;
gloom of superstition .
