  1. august

    Awful should not be used of things which are merely disagreeable or annoying, nor of all that are alarming and terrible, but only of such as bring a solemn awe upon the soul, as in the presence of a superior power; as, the awful hush before the battle. That which is awful arouses an oppressive, that which is august an admiring reverence; we speak of the august presence of a mighty monarch, the awful presence of death. We speak of an exalted station, a grand mountain, an imposing presence, a majestic cathedral, a noble mien, a solemn litany, a stately march, an august assembly, the awful scene of the Judgment Day.

How to use august in a sentence?

  1. Johannes Kleiman:

    ‘On the fourth of August 1944 the SD (Nazi security police), accompanied by three detectives and SS Officer Silberbauer, conducted a raid. They had apparently been well-informed, and forced my colleague with three guns pointed at him to show them the secret quarters, where they arrested both families: eight people. My colleague and myself were also taken away with them.’

  2. Richard Burr:

    This gives us the month of August in all likelihood to wrap up our investigation. And for staff to work intensely while we're out of here not getting in their hair, we could be in a situation where members could look at that and digest it over the beginning of September.

  3. Heidi Hemmat:

    I knew I couldn’t keep ambushing people who did bad things to other people, society has changed. People have changed. My physical and mental health were unraveling. As soon as that ratings period ended I took an unpaid leave of absence, and in August I asked to be let out of my contract.

  4. Ian Sams:

    Our focus is on winning the primary, not an off-year August news cycle, which is why we've spent the summer building the grassroots organizing foundation that will propel Kamala HarrisHarris to victory in this race, we've already engaged thousands of volunteers and are competing to win in the early states, while preparing for a long primary contest that carries us into Super Tuesday and the rest of March.

  5. Warren West:

    I don't think anyone really believes we've seen the bottom, it's a nice bounce, but it's still trading in the range of those August lows and you can't really call it a rally.
