Sentence Examples

  1. Sometimes, as the road was cut through the pine woods that seemed in the darkness to be closing down upon us, great masses of greyness, which here and there bestrewed the trees, produced a peculiarly weird and solemn effect, which carried on the thoughts and grim fancies engendered earlier in the evening, when the falling sunset threw into strange relief the ghost-like clouds which amongst the Carpathians seem to wind ceaselessly through the valleys.
  2. Presently, as I went on, still gaining velocity, the palpitation of night and day merged into one continuous greyness the sky took on a wonderful deepness of blue, a splendid luminous colour like that of early twilight the jerking sun became a streak of fire, a brilliant arch, in space the moon a fainter fluctuating band and I could see nothing of the stars, save now and then a brighter circle flickering in the blue.
