    • 1930, Владимир Набоков, chapter 1, in Защита Лужина; English translation from Michael Scammell in collaboration with the author, transl., The Luzhin Defense, New York, 1964:
      Станция находилась в двух верстах от усадьбы, там, где дорога, гулко и гладко пройдя сквозь еловый бор, пересекала петербургское шоссе и текла дальше, через рельсы, под шлагбаум, в неизвестность.
      Stancija naxodilasʹ v dvux verstax ot usadʹby, tam, gde doroga, gulko i gladko projdja skvozʹ jelovyj bor, peresekala peterburgskoje šosse i tekla dalʹše, čerez relʹsy, pod šlagbaum, v neizvestnostʹ.
      The station was about a mile and a half from the manor, at a point where the road, after passing smoothly and resonantly through a fir wood, cut across the St. Petersburg highway and flowed farther, across the rails, beneath a barrier and into the unknown.
