    • 1877, Иван Тургенев, “Часть первая. VII”, in Новь; English translation from Constance Garnett, transl., Virgin Soil, 1920:
      Нежданов зажёг свечку; ночные серые бабочки так и посыпались из темного сада и пошли на огонь, кружась и толкаясь, а ветер их отдувал и колебал сине-желтое пламя свечи.
      Neždanov zažóg svečku; nočnyje seryje babočki tak i posypalisʹ iz temnovo sada i pošli na ogonʹ, kružasʹ i tolkajasʹ, a veter ix otduval i kolebal sine-želtoje plamja sveči.
      Nezhdanov lighted a candle; the grey night-moths flew in from the garden in showers, and went towards the light, while the wind blew them back and set the candle's bluish-yellow light flickering.
