It was as if sunlight had suddenly pierced the darkest corners of his memory.

He made a tiny crack in the drapes, and bright sunlight pierced into the attic room.

A light breeze stirred the leaves overhead, and the sunlight pierced through, blinding her.

In silence, they made their way back to where the sunlight pierced the cliff.

Two hours after we had started, the rain began to move off and some sunlight pierced through the layer of lighter clouds.

No sunlight pierced the dense canopy of branches; it was barely light enough to see.

No sunlight ever pierced the Stygian gloom and the rain never fell.

The trees met overhead and were so thick that no sunlight pierced through to the swift stream.

After a time the wood became thicker, and the sunlight could hardly pierce through the branches.

When sunlight pierced the forest they all went crazy together.
