Famous quotes containing the word august:

    “Until, on Vinegar Hill, the fatal conclave.
    Terraced thousands died, shaking scythes at cannon.
    The hillside blushed, soaked in our broken wave.
    They buried us without shroud or coffin
    And in August the barley grew up out of the grave.”
    —Seamus Heaney (b. 1939)

    “I hated her now with a hatred more fatal than indifference because it was the other side of love.”
    —J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)

    “I always disliked dogs, those protectors of cowards who lack the courage to fight an assailant themselves.”
    —J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
