    • 1926, Владимир Набоков, chapter III, in Машенька; English translation from Michael Glenny in collaboration with the author, transl., Mary, New York: McGraw-Hill Book Company, 1970:
      Изредка, вскрикнув оленьим голосом, промахивал автомобиль, или случалось то, что ни один городской пешеход не может заметить, падала, быстрее мысли и беззвучнее слезы, звезда.
      Izredka, vskriknuv olenʹim golosom, promaxival avtomobilʹ, ili slučalosʹ to, što ni odin gorodskoj pešexod ne možet zametitʹ, padala, bystreje mysli i bezzvučneje slezy, zvezda.
      Occasionally, braying like a stag, a motorcar would dash by or something would happen which no one walking in a city ever notices: a star, faster than thought and with less sound than a tear, would fall.
