They say that
Black is not a color,
          it is the absence of.
Cold is not a foe of heat,
          it is the absence of.

Just like when I say
          Tu me manques —
          *You are absent from me.
"Tu me manques," in French, means I miss you; in literal translation, though, it means "you are missing from me."
