After this she falls into sleep, the & #39;leaden darkness& #39;, beginning the & #39;nox profunda& #39; of purification.

We are now entering the last phases of the & #39;blackening& #39; or & #39;putrefactio& #39;, the purification in which the & #39;stone& #39; is cleansed from all initial impurities.
