    • 1930, Владимир Набоков [Vladimir Nabokov], chapter 1, in Защита Лужина, Berlin: Слово; English translation from Michael Scammell in collaboration with the author, transl., The Luzhin Defense, New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1964:
      Воспомина́ние пропи́тано бы́ло со́лнцем и сла́дко-черни́льным вку́сом тех лакри́чных па́лочек, кото́рые она́ дроби́ла уда́рами перочи́нного ножа́ и убежда́ла держа́ть под языко́м.
      Vospominánije propítano býlo sólncem i sládko-černílʹnym vkúsom tex lakríčnyx páloček, kotóryje oná drobíla udárami peročínnovo nožá i ubeždála deržátʹ pod jazykóm.
      The recollection was saturated with sunshine and the sweet, inky taste of the sticks of licorice, bits of which she used to hack off with blows of her penknife and persuade him to hold under his tongue.
