    • 1938, Mihály Babits, translated by István Tótfalusi (Q1326991), Jónás könyve (The Book of Jonah):
      …ott megfogadta, harmincnyolc napig / böjtölve s imádkozva ott lakik / s nem mozdul, mígnem messze kénköves / lángoktól lenne lenn az ég veres / s hallanék, hogy a föld egyszerre szörnyet / dördül, s a nagy vár tornyai ledőlnek
      …And there he made a vow that he would stay / there for thirty-eight days, would fast and pray, / and would not leave until with brimstone’s flames / the far horizon would be red in blaze, / until a mighty rumble would be heard / and the big castle’s towers would fall to earth
