    • 1894, Werner's Magazine, volumes 15-16, page 319:
      Such indiscriminating stuff is difficult to treat as it deserves, because it is such a mixture of truth and nonsense (Miss Rehan, for instance, is clever in Katharine and boisterously bellowsome in Julia), but it may serve to emphasize the necessity of providing somewhere in newspaper offices for the education of critics in the fundamentals of the arts they profess to understand.
    • 2014, Devin Dion, Sunsets in Cigarette Burns:
      There is a great, bellowsome balloon the size of the moon inside of me sticking just beneath my thin skin like the shrapnel shards from shattered spirits, internally combusting in crash course collisions of constant catastrophes of consonance and consequence.
