1895, Heraclio Pérez Placer, Contos da Terriña:Calquer pensara que un meigallo se lle meteu no corpo, ó ver como cambeou de súpeto. Esborrouse da súa boca a sonrisa pracenteira, fuxiu dos ollos o mirar churruscandeiro, velado agora por humedeceres de bágoas- Anyone would think that a spell has entered her body, seeing how she changed all of the sudden: the pleasant smile fade from her mouth and the lively gaze fled from her eyes, clouded now by the wetness of the tears
