For a space the ray showed wall- then- nothing!
The rays showed what appeared to be a path.
When the first feeble rays of sunlight showed themselves, he was well on his way.
Its rays, focused upon a table, showed hands that held torn sheets of paper.
The rays showed that he was in a small space between the curtains and a wall.
It kept away from the walls, where its rays might have shown through barred windows.
The rays showed a large bed, a table with a telephone upon it, and several other pieces of furniture.
This time its rays showed nothing but the trees.
Yet the last rays of the sinking orb had shown me something as they died.
The sun's rays showed pink and purple in the sunset.
