    • 1834, Александр Пушкин, Пиковая дама; English translation from Thomas Keane, transl., The Queen of Spades, New York: Modern Library, 1925:
      Горек чужой хлеб, говорит Данте, и тяжелы ступени чужого крыльца, а кому и знать горечь зависимости, как не бедной воспитаннице знатной старухи?
      Gorek čužoj xleb, govorit Dante, i tjažely stupeni čužovo krylʹca, a komu i znatʹ gorečʹ zavisimosti, kak ne bednoj vospitannice znatnoj staruxi?
      "The bread of the stranger is bitter," says Dante, "and his staircase hard to climb." But who can know what the bitterness of dependence is so well as the poor companion of an old lady of quality?
