    • 1937, Владимир Набоков, “Глава третья”, in Дар; English translation from Michael Scammell with the collaboration of the author, transl., The Gift, New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1963:
      Он лежал и курил, и потихоньку сочинял, наслаждаясь утробным теплом постели, тишиной в квартире, ленивым течением времени: Марианна Николаевна ещё не скоро вернётся, а обед — не раньше четверти второго.
      On ležal i kuril, i potixonʹku sočinjal, naslaždajasʹ utrobnym teplom posteli, tišinoj v kvartire, lenivym tečenijem vremeni: Marianna Nikolajevna ješčó ne skoro vernjótsja, a obed — ne ranʹše četverti vtorovo.
      He lay and smoked, and gently composed, reveling in the womblike warmth of the bed, the quietness of the flat and the lazy passage of time: Marianna Nikolavna would not be returning for a while and dinner was not earlier than one fifteen.
