1915, Иван Бунин, Господин из Сан-Франциско; English translation from The Gentleman from San Francisco, New York: Modern Library, 1925:Он быстро пробежал заглавие некоторых статей, прочёл несколько строк о никогда не прекращающейся балканской войне, привычным жестом перевернул газету, — как вдруг строчки вспыхнули перед ним стеклянным блеском, шея его напружилась, глаза выпучились, пенсне слетело с носа…- On bystro probežal zaglavije nekotoryx statej, pročól neskolʹko strok o nikogda ne prekraščajuščejsja balkanskoj vojne, privyčnym žestom perevernul gazetu, — kak vdrug stročki vspyxnuli pered nim stekljannym bleskom, šeja jevo napružilasʹ, glaza vypučilisʹ, pensne sletelo s nosa…
- He rapidly ran through the headlines of certain items, read a few lines about the never-ceasing Balkan war, with an accustomed gesture turned the newspaper over,—when suddenly the lines flared up before him with a glassy glare, his neck became taut, his eyes bulged out, the pince nez flew off his nose. . . .
