The world is darker for its failure, but it is only as a cloud dims the sun.

An occasional cloud dimmed the moonlight, and the cool winds from the west rose intermittently, then dissipated.

And, blessedly, a cloud dimmed the sun, giving the mantas relief.

Here again it may have been only my imagination at work; but when a cloud came drifting out of nowhere across the sky and for a moment dimmed the sun, I had a sense of some mysterious overshadowing presence.

A cloud on her face dimmed instantly his beaming looks; on an early visit to their maniap' my wife saw he had cause to be wary.

Such was its immediate effect on the guests that a cloud seemed to have rolled duskily from beneath the black crape, and dimmed the light of the candles.

A cloud of silence dimmed the all-white office.

A cloud had come up and dimmed what light there was, and we must wait for it to pass.

Not a cloud dimmed the firmament.

No clouds to dim that.
