    • 1905, Фёдор Сологуб , chapter XVII, in Мелкий бес; English translation from John Cournos and Richard Aldington, transl., The Little Demon, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1916:
      Стра́нная, жесто́кая улы́бка сквозь слёзы озари́ла её лицо́, как я́рко пыла́ющий луч на зака́те сквозь после́днее паде́ние уста́лого дождя́.
      Stránnaja, žestókaja ulýbka skvozʹ sljózy ozaríla jejó licó, kak járko pylájuščij luč na zakáte skvozʹ poslédneje padénije ustálovo doždjá.
      A strange, severe smile shone on her face through her tears, like a bright, flaming ray at sunset through the last drops of a weary rain.
