- 1919, Francesc Puig-Espert, Nits d'hivern:
- Va ser tan forta l'escomesa i tan ràpida la caiguda, que no pogué Francesc sostíndre-lo be i esmunyint-se-li dels braços anà a caure en terra, rodolant una llarga troçada per damunt de les pedres i arxilagues.
- The assault was so forceful and the fall so rapid that Francesc could not keep his balance and, slipping himself between his arms, went and felt to the ground, rolling a good distance over the rocks and gorse.
