    • 1904, Леонид Андреев, “Отрывок пятый”, in Красный смех; English translation from Alexandra Linden, transl., The Red Laugh, London: T. Fisher, 1905:
      Студент глядел на молчаливое, разраставшееся зарево, и его затылок с вьющимися волосами был молодой, и когда я глядел на него, мне почему-то все представлялась тонкая женская рука, которая ворошит эти волосы.
      Student gljadel na molčalivoje, razrastavšejesja zarevo, i jevo zatylok s vʹjuščimisja volosami byl molodoj, i kogda ja gljadel na nevo, mne počemu-to vse predstavljalasʹ tonkaja ženskaja ruka, kotoraja vorošit eti volosy.
      The student stood gazing out at the mute spreading glow, and the back of his head with its curly hair was youthful; and when I looked at him, I do not know why, but I kept picturing to myself a delicate woman's hand passing through that hair.
