    • 2013, F. Scott Fitzgerald, translated by Ferruccio Russo, Il Grande Gatsby [The Great Gatsby], Edizioni Scientifiche e Artistiche, page 202:
      Questa sarebbe stata una sistemazione definitiva, mi aveva detto Daisy al telefono, ma francamente non ci credevo – certo non potevo scrutare nel cuore di Daisy, ma ero convinto che Tom avrebbe continuato, nostalgicamente, la sua deriva in cerca di qualche squadra di football in condizioni disperate, da risollevare.
      This was a permanent move, said Daisy over the telephone, but I didn’t believe it – I had no sight into Daisy’s heart but I felt that Tom would drift on forever seeking a little wistfully for the dramatic turbulence of some irrecoverable football game.
      (literally, “This would have been a definitive arrangement, Daisy had told me on the phone, but frankly I didn't believe it – certainly I couldn't search into Daisy's heart, but I was convinced that Tom would have conitnued, nostalgically, his drift in search of some football team in desperate conditions, to be lifted.”)
