    • 1908, Фёдор Сологуб [Fyodor Sologub], Голодный блеск; English translation from Stephen Graham and Rosa Savory, transl., The Hungry Gleam, London: Constable and Company Ltd, 1915:
      Так тру́дно одолева́ть простра́нство и вре́мя, когда́ торо́пишься! Земля́ то́чно приса́сывает к себе́, ка́ждый шаг покупа́ешь уси́лием и уста́лостью. До бо́ли и ломо́ты в и́крах.
      Tak trúdno odolevátʹ prostránstvo i vrémja, kogdá torópišʹsja! Zemljá tóčno prisásyvajet k sebé, káždyj šag pokupáješʹ usílijem i ustálostʹju. Do bóli i lomóty v íkrax.
      It is difficult to conquer space and time when one is in a hurry. The earth itself seems to suck you in, and at each step you feel impotence and tiredness—you feel it like a rheumatism in the marrow.
