It would burn well on a hot airless night like this.

I hear the hungry oaths of men; and love kisses in the airless night.

But the silence of the airless night was deep and large all about him.

One airless night at the end of August, Hardesty and Virginia became crazed with desire.

I outdid myself; oval ball rolling before me, flicked it up, high into the airless night's sky, before finger-tipping ball back to earth.

It was j a humid, airless night and the trees in Waverley's grounds stood as still and silent as if cast out of bronze.

The hot airless night had become the hot airless day: in the garden the leaves on trees and shrubs drooped as under an invisible weight.

The dreaded month of July came, with its airless nights, its cloudless mornings, and its sultry days.
