1924, Stefan Żeromski, Przedwiośnie [The Coming Spring]:Oprócz pracowników, zajętych potężną robotą od świtu do nocy na górze trupiej, plątał się tam i wałęsał trzeci jeszcze gatunek istot żywych: — żebraki, głodomory, chorowite kaleki, baby i starcy — słowem, nędza miejska i portowa, ciągnąca za wyżerką przy wojsku.- Along with the laborers engaged in back-breaking toil from morning to night on that cadaver-strewn hill, there was also a third category of living beings to be found hanging about: beggars, starvelings, sickly cripples, old men and woman — in a word, the dregs of the city and the port, drawn to the army by the possibility of food.
