Volcanoes, he said, were formed where the rays of the sun pierced the earth.

The moon was up and a ray pierced the darkness of the room.

As the sun set, for a few moments its rays pierced the mist, telling them in what direction they should go.

It grew light, then the sun's rays pierced the cell.

Her eyes were open when the first rays of the sun pierced the thin curtains.

I looked toward the east just as the first ray pierced the lightened sky.

As the sun was now high and strong, its rays at last pierced the thick cloud cover.

The rain had just stopped, a ray of moonlight pierced the clouds, and all at once made its way into the room.

Not a single ray of light from the moon pierced through the clouds.

A bright ray pierced the sky and was lost in the distance.
