1842, Николай Гоголь , “Том I, Глава VIII”, in Мёртвые души; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Dead Souls—A Poem, London: Chatto & Windus, 1922:Са́мое дово́льное расположе́ние сопровожда́ло его́ во всё вре́мя одева́ния: надева́я подтя́жки и́ли повя́зывая га́лстук, он расша́ркивался и кла́нялся с осо́бенною ло́вкостию и хотя́ никогда́ не танцева́л, но сде́лал антраша́. Э́то антраша́ произвело́ ма́ленькое неви́нное сле́дствие: задрожа́л комо́д, и упа́ла со стола́ щётка.- Sámoje dovólʹnoje raspoložénije soprovoždálo jevó vo vsjo vrémja odevánija: nadevája podtjážki íli povjázyvaja gálstuk, on rasšárkivalsja i klánjalsja s osóbennoju lóvkostiju i xotjá nikogdá ne tancevál, no sdélal antrašá. Éto antrašá proizveló málenʹkoje nevínnoje slédstvije: zadrožál komód, i upála so stolá ščótka.
- The whole process of dressing was accompanied by an agreeable and contented feeling: as he put on his braces or tied his cravat, he bowed and scraped with peculiar sprightliness, and though he had never danced in his life, he cut a caper. This caper had a small and harmless consequence: the chest of drawers shook and the brush fell on the floor.
