How to use forlorn in a sentence?

  1. Benjamin Weiss:

    If you look at these images, you're basically staring at this epic desert landscape. It's the most forlorn place you could ever visit, there's not a drop of water anywhere, and yet, here Perseverances Martian rock samples have evidence of a very different past.

  4. David Cannington:

    Amidst market turbulence there is a call to arms for the G20 to get the global economy back on track, while we can hope for a substantive policy prescription, it's a forlorn one. There is simply too much self-interest globally and that dominates group interest.
