1947, Władysław Kowalski, W Grzmiącej:Mocno przybladła, niemłoda już twarz, wygolona starannie z wszelkiego włosa, cieniła bladożółtym podskórzem, a na miernych ustach igrał łagodny, trochę błędnawy, jakby chorobliwy uśmiech.- The very pale face, not young anymore, carefully shaven of every hair, cast a shadow with the pale-yellow underskin, and on its indifferent mouth a mild, somewhat weak, rather sickly smile danced.
1968, Władysław Orkan, “SATYRA”, in Poezje Zebrane, WIERSZE Z CZASOPISM I Z KSIĄŻKI:Rwie się człowiek do nieziemskich działań —
Gubiąc myśli po ziemskich śmietnikach —
Za godzinę porywów i pałań,
Które nikną w błędnawych ognikach...- A man strains himself to unearthly actions —
Losing his thoughts along earthly trash bins —
In an hour of gusts and bright lights,
That fade in weak lights...
1985, Władysława Lubasiowa, Wzdłuż drogi:W deszczu mokną smutne malwy panny anemiczne i blade z tęsknoty, wiatr błędnawy gra na skrzypkach szklanych stale wiernie wracający motyw: wojenko... wojenko... […]- The girl's anemic and pale from longing hollyhocks were getting wet in the rain, the weak wind was constantly playing on the glass violins, faithfully returning to the motive: war... war...
