    • 1936, 小出楢重 [Narashige Koide], “地中海の石ころ”, in 大切な雰囲気[1]:
      しかしまた本当に美しいものというものは、何も黄金と宝玉に限りもしないだろうとも思われる。
      Shikashi mata hontō ni utsukushii mono to iu mono wa, nani mo ōgon to hōgyoku ni kagiri mo shinai darō to mo omowareru.
      However, it also seems that truly beautiful things do not have to be limited to gold and jewels.
