The sky turned dark, and the sun faded as if grey veils were slowly being drawn before it.

Nothing on the planet was safe from the gray veil of language.

Just a few seconds and that look was gone, the grey veil lifted by some ghostly hand.

The time passed slowly, in a long gray veil.

After a few minutes, the grey veil lifted from her eyes.

Then the gray veil was burned away, and the sky before them was clear.

Nothing moved through the gray veil of the rain.

Everything was blurred, as if seen through a thin grey veil.

But the day the financial settlements came down, it was like a gray veil descended over the board director recruiting market.

He could still see beyond the gray veil of smoke, but his surroundings had changed.
