| As though spellbound, Chichikov sat in an aureate world of ever-growing dreams and fantasies. |
| A young groom, eagerly attired, stands before a doorway, which in turn looks out onto a landscape of sun-scarred desert, aureate sands stretching to a blinding, azure sky. |
| Here and there the falling golden leaves of a pomegranate made an aureate glow on the red-brown earth. |
| The night died suddenly and the day was upon them, an aureate god, lavish of splendor. |
| She looked across the ocean to the horizon, the aureate sun in the first stage of setting. |
| The aureate light, streaming on, beat full upon the howitzer and on the living and unwounded of its men. |
