    • 1893, Антон Чехов , “XV”, in Рассказ неизвестного человека; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., An Anonymous Story, 1917:
      Я смотрю́ вниз на давно́ знако́мые гондо́лы, кото́рые плыву́т с же́нственною гра́цией, пла́вно и велича́во, как бу́дто живу́т и чу́вствуют всю ро́скошь э́той оригина́льной, обая́тельной культу́ры.
      Ja smotrjú vniz na davnó znakómyje gondóly, kotóryje plyvút s žénstvennoju grácijej, plávno i veličávo, kak búdto živút i čúvstvujut vsju róskošʹ étoj originálʹnoj, obajátelʹnoj kulʹtúry.
      I looked down at the familiar gondolas, which glide with feminine grace smoothly and majestically as though they were alive, and felt all the luxury of this original, fascinating civilisation.
