1909, Stanisław Reymont, Chłopi, Jesień, chapter 11:[...] a tyś gospodarska córka z dziada pradziada, nie żadne miejskie pomietło, toś robić winna, jak Pan Bóg przykazał, jak zawżdy w naszym gospodarskim stanie się robiło... Znam ja te miejskie wymysły, znam... jeszcze nikomu one na zdrowie nie wyszły!- and you're a farmer's daughter, like your grandfather and great-grandfather, and not some doormat from the city, so you should do as the Lord commanded, as they've always done in a farming life like ours... I know these city ideas, I know them... they haven't turned out to anyone's benefit yet!
