A wall of silence has now descended over the key players.

Silence descended slowly over the garden as all eyes turned toward him.

A curious peace seemed to descend over him with this decision.

When he closed the door behind him, a thick silence descended over the house.

They had descended over a thousand feet in a pair of seconds.

She was determined to change the dark mood that had descended over them.

Presently the long winter night would descend over the land, but not quite yet.

By the time he awoke, darkness had descended over the city.

A silence descended over the valley and the hills around it.

Time passed slowly now in the great silence that descended over the plain.
