- 1898, Антон Чехов [Anton Chekhov], Крыжовник; English translation from S. S. Koteliansky and Gilbert Cannan, transl., Gooseberries, 1920:
- Вы ссыла́етесь на есте́ственный поря́док веще́й, на зако́нность явле́ний, но есть ли поря́док и зако́нность в том, что я, живо́й, мы́слящий челове́к, стою́ надо рвом и жду, когда́ он зарастё́т сам или затя́нет его́ и́лом, в то вре́мя как, быть мо́жет, я мог бы перескочи́ть че́рез него́ и́ли постро́ить че́рез него́ мост?
- Vy ssylájetesʹ na jestéstvennyj porjádok veščéj, na zakónnostʹ javlénij, no jestʹ li porjádok i zakónnostʹ v tom, što ja, živój, mýsljaščij čelovék, stojú nado rvom i ždu, kogdá on zarastjót sam ili zatjánet jevó ílom, v to vrémja kak, bytʹ móžet, ja mog by pereskočítʹ čérez nevó íli postróitʹ čérez nevó most?
- You refer me to the natural order of things, to the law of cause and effect, but is there order or natural law in that I, a living, thinking creature, should stand by a ditch until it fills up, or is narrowed, when I could jump it or throw a bridge over it?
