1 Things that he had dimly dreamed of were suddenly made real to him.
2 The dim roar of London was like the bourdon note of a distant organ.
3 He was dimly conscious that entirely fresh influences were at work within him.
4 The public-houses were just closing, and dim men and women were clustering in broken groups round their doors.
5 He remembered wandering through dimly lit streets, past gaunt, black-shadowed archways and evil-looking houses.
6 In the dim arrested light that struggled through the cream-coloured silk blinds, the face appeared to him to be a little changed.
7 An exclamation of horror broke from the painter's lips as he saw in the dim light the hideous face on the canvas grinning at him.
8 A dim sense of having taken part in some strange tragedy came to him once or twice, but there was the unreality of a dream about it.
9 He stood there motionless and in wonder, dimly conscious that Hallward was speaking to him, but not catching the meaning of his words.
10 Yes, there would be a day when his face would be wrinkled and wizen, his eyes dim and colourless, the grace of his figure broken and deformed.
11 The sudden flashes of colour reminded him of the gleam of the opal-and-iris-throated birds that flutter round the tall honeycombed Campanile, or stalk, with such stately grace, through the dim, dust-stained arcades.
12 As he passed out, he used to look with wonder at the black confessionals and long to sit in the dim shadow of one of them and listen to men and women whispering through the worn grating the true story of their lives.
