    • 1998, Washington Irving, “Rip Van Winkle”, in Edwin Grobe, transl., Tri Noveloj:
      Li vidis fordistance la sinjoran Hudsonon, moviĝantan ege, ege malsupre de li laŭ sia silenta sed moŝta fluvojo, elmontrantan reflekton de purpura nubo aŭ velon de malhasta boateto haltinta por dormpaŭzo diversloke sur ĝia vitrobrila surfaco, tiam malaperantan finfine en la blua altaĵaro.
      He saw at a distance the lordly Hudson, far, far below him, moving on its silent but majestic course, with the reflection of a purple cloud, or the sail of a lagging bark, here and there sleeping on its glassy bosom, and at last losing itself in the blue highlands.
