1883, Всеволод Гаршин, chapter VI, in Красный цветок; English translation from A Red Flower, Philadelphia: Brown Brothers, 1911:Была тихая, тёплая и тёмная ночь; окно было открыто; звёзды блестели на чёрном небе. Он смотрел на них, отличая знакомые созвездия и радуясь тому, что они, как ему казалось, понимают его и сочувствуют ему.- Byla tixaja, tjóplaja i tjómnaja nočʹ; okno bylo otkryto; zvjózdy blesteli na čórnom nebe. On smotrel na nix, otličaja znakomyje sozvezdija i radujasʹ tomu, što oni, kak jemu kazalosʹ, ponimajut jevo i sočuvstvujut jemu.
- It was a calm, warm and dark night; the sky was resplendent with stars. He looked up at them, discerning a familiar constellation and feeling happy at the thought that they, as it seemed to him, understood him and sympathized with him.
