    • 1898, Антон Чехов [Anton Chekhov], Крыжовник; English translation from S. S. Koteliansky and Gilbert Cannan, transl., Gooseberries, 1920:
      Вы ссыла́етесь на есте́ственный поря́док веще́й, на зако́нность явле́ний, но есть ли поря́док и зако́нность в том, что я, живо́й, мы́слящий челове́к, стою́ надо рвом и жду, когда́ он зарастё́т сам или затя́нет его́ и́лом, в то вре́мя как, быть мо́жет, я мог бы перескочи́ть че́рез него́ и́ли постро́ить че́рез него́ мост?
      Vy ssylájetesʹ na jestéstvennyj porjádok veščéj, na zakónnostʹ javlénij, no jestʹ li porjádok i zakónnostʹ v tom, što ja, živój, mýsljaščij čelovék, stojú nado rvom i ždu, kogdá on zarastjót sam ili zatjánet jevó ílom, v to vrémja kak, bytʹ móžet, ja mog by pereskočítʹ čérez nevó íli postróitʹ čérez nevó most?
      You refer me to the natural order of things, to the law of cause and effect, but is there order or natural law in that I, a living, thinking creature, should stand by a ditch until it fills up, or is narrowed, when I could jump it or throw a bridge over it?
