| He, with his eyes fixed on the embers, had sunk back into the dolorous past. |
| Things were as bad as they could be, and every man had a tale of dolour to pitch, but no one looked dolorous. |
| He stood stupefied, and so dolorous a spectacle that she could not but laugh. |
| The economy has nosedived since he took power in April, though he has hardly begun the dolorous restructuring he promised. |
| Not at all, but I find dolorous passages in this choral, as in all the Calvinist hymns. |
| Far from being dour and dolorous, one of the clearest fruits of grace is a childlike joy. |
