    • 1935, Joan Santamaria, Visions de Catalunya (Mallorca):
      Els meus fills jugaven baix la platjola, i, de sobte, ha comparegut un pallard i ha començat a calar foc a les mates de càrritx, de coixins de bruixa i de garballons que creixen a les juntures del rocatam.
      My sons were playing down on the little beach and, suddenly, a strapping lad appeared and started setting fire to the tussocks of bunchgrass, heather, and fan palms which grew in the creases between the rocks.
