    • 1913, Максим Горький, “IX”, in Детство; English translation from Ronald Wilks, transl., My Childhood, 1966:
      В детстве я представляю сам себя ульем, куда разные простые, серые люди сносили, как пчёлы, мёд своих знаний и дум о жизни, щедро обогащая душу мою, кто чем мог.
      V detstve ja predstavljaju sam sebja ulʹjem, kuda raznyje prostyje, seryje ljudi snosili, kak pčóly, mjod svoix znanij i dum o žizni, ščedro obogaščaja dušu moju, kto čem mog.
      In recalling my childhood I like to picture myself as a beehive to which various simple obscure people brought the honey of their knowledge and thoughts on life, generously enriching my character with their own experience.
