Examples of NIGHTFALL in a Sentence
As nightfall does not come all at once, neither does oppression. In both instances, there is a twilight when everything remains seemingly unchanged. And it is in such twilight that we all must be most aware of change in the air - however slight - lest we become unwitting victims of the darkness.
Each moment is nightfall not spacious enough to contain all hope that there will be morning.
J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring, spoken by Elrond:
He should not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall.
To accomplish our destiny it is not enough to merely guard prudently against road accidents. We must also cover before nightfall the distance assigned to each of us.
