- Lock the faucet! lock the faucet! everyone shouted to him, banging his fists on the strong doors of the bathroom, but alas, the prisoner could not fulfill this demand, because the pulled crane fell into the sewer. Completely lost Joseph stood like a marble dolphin, pumped by the spray of the fountain, while Bodrostin, Gordanov, Ropshin and Kishensky, harnessing the flow of water from under the doors with a crumpled carpet, sat on this carpet and tried as much as possible to prevent the spread of the flood.
Leskov N. S., On Knives, 1870
And there stretched among the dense greenery of gardens and parks between the zigzags of the white road-white dachas, rich villas, mountain Tatar villages with flat roofs. The sea gently moved around the ship; dolphins played in the water.
Kuprin A. I., Sea sickness, 1908
We went out to the sun, had lunch in Cisquili, where we came across a funny incident: a dead dolphin washed ashore at night, must have been killed during a shootout with ships.
Gilyarovskiy V. A., My Wanderings, 1928
One of the last experiments "living room" in the former sense of the word failed and went out with the hostess. Delphine Gae was draining all her talents, her brilliant mind, in order to somehow keep a decent peace between the guests who suspected, hated each other. Can there be any pleasure in this strained, anxious state of truce, in which the master, left alone, tired, rushes to the sofa and thanks heaven for getting away with the evening without trouble?
Herzen A.I., Past and Dumas, 1856
Of course, this vast area is no longer than a hundred steps and is much larger than any wide St. Petersburg or Berlin street, but in comparison with the corridors and gorges, which the Danzig residents are not ashamed to call streets and alleys, it really looks like something huge, and if the middle of it was not occupied by cast-iron Neptune on dolphins, from which water pours on holidays, this Lang Gaz would undoubtedly be much more spacious than the Moscow Exerzir-Gauz!
Zagoskin M.N., Roslavlev, or Russians in 1812, 1831
Another joint of fish with terrible speed sweeps under the boat, plowing the water with short silver hands. And so I hear the dolphin snorting very close. There he is! He appears on one side of the boat, disappears for a second under the keel and immediately sweeps on. He walks deep under the water, but I distinguish with extraordinary clarity all his powerful running and all his mighty body, silvered by the play of infusoria, circled, like a contour, a billion sequins, like a shining glass running skeleton.
Kuprin A. I., Listrigones, 1911
But the night is so black, the sighs and grunts of the dolphins so arouse passionate hunting curiosity that, having suppressed the involuntary sigh of remorse, I gently jump into the boat, and while Christo rows silently, I help Jani put the nets in order. He crosses the lower edge, weighed down by large lead loaders, and I quickly and simultaneously pass him the upper edge, equipped with cork floats.
Kuprin A. I., Listrigones, 1911
Somewhere near the port side, the snoring of a dolphin is heard, and I suddenly see a lot of winding silver streams sweeping around the boat and under the boat with terrible speed, like traces of melting fireworks.
Kuprin A. I., Listrigones, 1911
So the man captured by the sea fell asleep forever for the land; he loved women, just through sleep, briefly and silently, knowing how to talk with them only about what he knew - about fish and corals, about the play of waves, the vagaries of the wind and large ships that go into unknown seas; he was meek on the ground, walked on it cautiously, distrustful and silent with people, like a fish, staring at all eyes with the sharp glance of a man accustomed to look into changing depths and not believe them, and in the sea he became quietly cheerful, attentive to dolphins, like friends.
Gorky Maxim, Tales of Italy, 1913
