1879, Николай Лесков , “Глава первая”, in Однодум; English translation from Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, transl., Singlemind, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 2013:Слу́жба в пе́шей по́чте, пришла́ ему́ соверше́нно по вку́су и по нату́ре: он шёл оди́н че́рез леса́, поля́ и боло́та и ду́мал про себя́ свои́ сиро́тские ду́мы, каки́е слага́лись в нём под живы́м впечатле́нием всего́, что встреча́л, что ви́дел и слы́шал.- Slúžba v péšej póčte, prišlá jemú soveršénno po vkúsu i po natúre: on šol odín čérez lesá, poljá i bolóta i dúmal pro sebjá svoí sirótskije dúmy, kakíje slagálisʹ v njom pod živým vpečatlénijem vsevó, što vstrečál, što vídel i slýšal.
- Working in the foot mail was perfectly suited to his taste and to his nature: he walked alone through forests, fields, and swamps, and thought to himself his orphan’s thoughts, as they composed themselves in him under the vivid impression of everything he met, saw, and heard.
