    • 1873, Benito Pérez Galdós, chapter 10, in Gerona (Episodios Nacionales):
      Daba saltos, alzaba los brazos descompasadamente, se descoyuntaba de pies y manos, tropezaba a cada instante, inclinándose adelante o atrás, hacía mil paseos estrambóticos y mil figuras grotescas que en otra ocasión me habrían hecho reír, y un sudorangustioso afluía de su rostro macilento, desfigurado por las muecas y visajes que le obligaban a hacer el fatigoso movimiento y los agudos dolores de su herida.
