    • 1895, Максим Горький, Однажды осенью; English translation from Robert Nisbet Bain, transl., One Autumn Night, Funk and Wagnall's, 1902:
      Опрокинутый чёлн с проломленным дном и ограбленные холодным ветром деревья, жалкие и старые… Всё кругом разрушено, бесплодно и мертво, а небо точит неиссякаемые слёзы.
      Oprokinutyj čoln s prolomlennym dnom i ograblennyje xolodnym vetrom derevʹja, žalkije i staryje… Vsjo krugom razrušeno, besplodno i mertvo, a nebo točit neissjakajemyje sljózy.
      The overturned canoe with its battered keel and the miserable old trees rifled by the cold wind—everything around me was bankrupt, barren, and dead, and the sky flowed with undryable tears. . . .
