They grouped in the road at the top of a rise and looked back. The storm front towered above them and the wind was cool on their sweating faces.

As if repairs were under way at some flawed place n the iron dark of the world. β¨ Cormac McCarthy (2013). The Border Trilogy: Picador Classic, p.66, Pan Macmillan
