It was a desolate, uncomprehending, frantic sound and it was enough for me.

It was a fresh, wild and yet desolate sound.

In it, coming from somewhere ahead, Dennis heard a terrible, desolate sound.

The whine of the gale outside was a piercingly desolate sound.

Then I heard it, too: a small, desolate, and very human sound.

But that desolate sound grabbed my heart.

It rattled through the denuded branches of the hedge animals with a low, beating, desolate sound.

Alone, it would have been a desolate sound.

Then there were no more words, only a desolate sound.

For the only time since his coming she found him beautiful, and she screamed at the sight of the beauty - a horrible, desolate sound.
