And for a long moment after the General ceased speaking, that immense silence continued.

It was a place of great calm; of immense silence.

It pierces the immense silence with a hoarse creaking of its wheels.

He had no way of knowing the precise hour, but the immense silence belonged only to dead of night.

I shouted for help one more time, into silence too immense to even echo.

"Easy," he said, and waved a hand around them at the immense silence and the great blue bowl of the sky.

It was only a small noise but it sounded loud in that immense silence.

Still further back the immense silence closed in again, and nothing remained to show that he had passed that way.

On every side the immense dark silence seemed pressing him, so tiny a spark, into extinction, and yet, almost nothing, he could not be extinct.

Yet, in spite of the singing, there was a sort of background of immense silence.
