bleak or dark

Darkness has many dimensions: the forboding of ill winds, the mystery of the unknown, the trepidation vis-a-vis the ominous, and the stillness before the storm. Whatever is implied should be left intact, and should not be unpacked before the reader, so that the reader may do the unpacking.

When you post a question about a term, please post sufficient contex.

A full sentence is usually sufficient, but if you can provide more, that would be even better. For example, the series of questions you have posted are all related to one passage:

ارتسمت امس صورة قاتمة لمصير المعركة الثانية لم تنفع في تبديدها تطمينات الحكومة بأنها تجهد لدعم المشروع وتوفير العدد الكافي من الأصوات لاقراره ففيما استمر مسلسل اعلان النواب المحسوبين على الحكومة معارضتهم المشروع برزت معلومات عن توجه الجمعية العمومية للحركة الدستوريةاليوم الى اعلان رفضها اياه ايضا بتحفظها عن مطلبي خفض سن الاقتراع و السماح للعسكريين بالمشاركة في الانتخابات بعض النواب الذين يرغبون في حزمة شاملة تغطي موافقتهم على حقوق المرأة السياسية الحكومة واصلت التلويح بخيار اللجوء الى المحكمة الدستورية المطروح على جلسة مجلس الامة غدا هو خيار يدعمه تيار نيابي لا يرى مانعا من الوصول الى حل مجلس الامة

It would be more helpful and more honest to post the whole passage as context for each question. Thank you.
