    • 1918, Josep Carner, Contes d'Andersen:
      Mentrestant ella era gronxada amunt i avall per les ones, de manera que pogués mirar dins la cabina; però el navili va anar movent-se i movent-se, fins que vela darrera vela fou inflada pel vent, les ones s'embraviren, grans núvols s'acoblaren, i llampegà en la llunyania.
      Meanwhile she was swayed up and down by the waves in such a way that she could see into the cabin; but the ship kept moving and moving, until sail after sail was inflated by the wind, the waves grew rough, great clouds joined up, and it lightninged in the distance.
