So startling was his arrival here, that he seemed a living remnant of the darkness that the light had otherwise dispelled.

The lights that glowed at intervals along its corridors could not dispel the insidious haze that wrapped this world.

He fired up the forge and began his work at once, laboring through the night until the light of dawn dispelled the charm that was upon him.

Even before red light dispelled the maroon darkness, he sensed a difference.

Candles burned in chandeliers overhead, but their light did not dispel the grayness of the scene.

The lights didn't completely dispel the darkness.

Even with the windows open and the light streaming in, it seemed there was a pall in the air that no light could dispel.

The light didn't quite dispel the gloom or his nascent dread.

He thought it would be a very good idea if he lighted his bicycle lamp, then the light would soon dispel his silly ideas!

In either case, light had dispelled them.
