    • 1869, Лев Толстой , “Том 2, Часть третья, VI”, in Война и мир; English translation from Aylmer and Louise Maude, transl., War and Peace, Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1922–1923:
      Он переноси́л вопро́с на метафизи́ческие высо́ты, переходи́л в определе́ния простра́нства, вре́мени, мы́сли и, вынося́ отту́да опроверже́ния, опя́ть спуска́лся на по́чву спо́ра.
      On perenosíl voprós na metafizíčeskije vysóty, perexodíl v opredelénija prostránstva, vrémeni, mýsli i, vynosjá ottúda oproveržénija, opjátʹ spuskálsja na póčvu spóra.
      He would transfer a question to metaphysical heights, pass on to definitions of space, time, and thought, and, having deduced the refutation he needed, would again descend to the level of the original discussion.
