    Тьма упала - хоть ножом режь, в ней не видно было ни неба за кругом костра, ни сторон, сплошным шумом шумел там дождь. (В. Распутин, Век живи - век люби) — Darkness came down - you could have cut it with a knife, there was no sky visible, only the ring of the fire, nor could you see anything round you; there was only the incessant noise of the rain.
