bleak

a bleak and barren moor.

a bleak urban landscape.

the bleak visage of winter.

a bleak midwinter's day.

a bleak prophecy of war and ruin.

housing of bleak utilitarianism.

a bleak time for the overcapitalized firm.

a bleak New England winter landscape.

a setting of Yevtushenko's bleak poem.

bleak winds of the North Atlantic.

I glimpsed a bleak future.

The report paints an unnecessarily bleak picture of the town.

he looked round the bleak little room in despair.

the choir was massacring ‘In the Bleak Midwinter’.

it was shaping up to be another bleak year.

the bleak lines testify to inner torment.

the bleak, treeless regions of the high Andes.

Two weeks in hospital seems a bleak prospect.

They showed me into a bleak waiting room.
