The half-dozen pieces […] were painted white and carved with festoons of flowers, birds and cupids. To display them the walls had been tinted a vivid blue which had now faded, but the carpet, which had evidently been stored and recently relaid, retained its original turquoise.
Replaced plakk, an earlier borrowing from Middle Low Germanblack(“(black) ink”). A native neologism mustlik (from must(“black”); compare Russianчерни́ла(černíla, “ink”), from чёрный(čórnyj, “black”)) has also been attested, but has not reached widespread use. In the 1715 translation of the New Testament, the sense was translated as raamatu must (literally, “book black”).[3][4]

Olümbi harjal armetumat looma / ei elutsend kui Eesti Pegasus, / kes kõlbluskünast pidi tinti jooma / ja luule kohimehi üles tooma. / Sa vaene Eesti Pegasus!
No more miserable animal dwelled on the crest of Mount Olympus / than the Estonian Pegasus, / who had to drink ink from the trough of morality / and bring up the eunuchs of poetry. / You poor Estonian Pegasus!
