    • 2002, Albert Sánchez Piñol, chapter 6, in La pell freda, La Campana, →ISBN:
      El soroll de la maquinària ens arribava esmorteït, un carrisqueig de pèndol, més fort quan els vagons dels focus circulaven just damunt nostre, més lleu quan s'allunyaven.
      The sound of the machinery came to us muffled — the screeching of a pendulum: stronger when the focus carriages passed right overhead, less strong when they moved away.
