   • 1928, Elisha Kent Kane, Gongorism and the Golden Age:

     Again, the Trimalconian banquets of the rich, with their voluptuous foods and the tragalism of the orgies too often following are parallels to the crapulous tropes of the Soledades.

   • 1966, Hedley McCay, Padraic Pearse: A New Biography, page 39:
