1901, Gustaw Zieliński, Poezye, volume II, Toruń: wydanie rodziny, "Jan z Kępy", stanza XVII:Przez most wjechali do bramy sklepionej,
A stuk od podków, głuchnącym oddźwiękiem
Szedł po sklepieniach — tak, zerwanej struny
Długo powietrze ostatnim drży jękiem.- Across the bridge they rode in to the vaulted gate,
and the pounding of horseshoes with its fading echo
went around the vaults — just so, with a cut string's
last groan the air long shudders.
