    • 1905, Фёдор Сологуб , chapter XVII, in Мелкий бес; English translation from John Cournos and Richard Aldington, transl., The Little Demon, New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1916:
      Па́хло каки́ми-то но́выми духа́ми, пра́зднично, сла́дко, но что́-то в э́том за́пахе задева́ло, береди́ло не́рвы, как прикоснове́ние ра́достных, ю́рких, шерохова́тых зме́ек.
      Páxlo kakími-to nóvymi duxámi, prázdnično, sládko, no štó-to v étom zápaxe zadeválo, beredílo nérvy, kak prikosnovénije rádostnyx, júrkix, šeroxovátyx zméjek.
      There seemed to be an odour of new pleasant scents there, and in this odour there was something that provoked and irritated the nerves like the contact of living rough little snakes.
