    • 1904, Лев Толстой, “I”, in Хаджи-Мурат; English translation from Louise and Aylmer Maude, transl., Hadji Murat, 1912:
      «Какая, однако, энергия и сила жизни, — подумал я, вспоминая те усилия, с которыми я отрывал цветок. — Как он усиленно защищал и дорого продал свою жизнь».
      «Kakaja, odnako, energija i sila žizni, — podumal ja, vspominaja te usilija, s kotorymi ja otryval cvetok. — Kak on usilenno zaščiščal i dorogo prodal svoju žiznʹ».
      "But what energy and tenacity! With what determination it defended itself, and how dearly it sold its life!" thought I, remembering the effort it had cost me to pluck the flower.
