tenebrae et mors

Or 'caligo et mors'. 'Tenebrae' is used by Plautus (Pseudolus, 1.1.88), Ammianus (17.7.13), and Propertius (2.20.17) expressly with reference to the 'darkness of death', 'the shadows of death'. 'Caligo' means properly 'fog, mist' but is often used figuratively by Cicero (e.g., pro Plancio, 40.96--also frequently in conjunction with 'tenebrae', e.g., de provinciis consularibus, 18.43, in C. Verrem, 2.3.76 § 177) in the sense of 'gloom, calamity, disaster'.
