- 1914, 夏目漱石 [Natsume Sōseki], chapter 52, in こゝろ [Kokoro], 下先生と遺書 [Sensei's Testament]:
  しまいには「あなたは私(わたくし)を嫌(きら)っていらっしゃるんでしょう」とか、「何(なん)でも私(わたくし)に隠(かく)していらっしゃる事(こと)があるに違(ちが)いない」とかいう怨言(えんげん)も聞(き)かなくてはなりません。

  Eventually I would even have to hear such complaints as, "You hate me, don't you?" or, "There must be something you're hiding from me."
