1The tumescent clouds gathered on the horizon, heavy with the promise of an impending storm.
2In the stillness of the night, the tumescent moon cast an ethereal glow over the landscape.
3The tumescent river, swollen from weeks of heavy rainfall, threatened to burst its banks and flood the surrounding countryside.
4As the music reached its climax, the tumescent emotions of the audience were palpable, hanging in the air like a challenge.
5The tumescent language of the poet's verse was like a slow-burning fire, gradually building in intensity until it finally erupted in a blaze of passion and fury.
