Examples from texts

The perfume of the foliage, the soft green light which filtered through the leaves, the soughing silence of the undergrowth, filled them with tremulous excitement, as though the next turn of the path might lead them to some perilous happiness.
Запах деревьев, зеленоватый свет, струившийся с высоких ветвей, едва слышный шепот кустарников – все это наполняло обоих радостной тревогой, как будто, свернув с первой тропы, они могли выйти прямо Навстречу какому‑то грозному счастью.

The wind blew straight into his face and soughed in his collar; and it seemed as though it were whispering to him all these thoughts, bringing them from the broad white plain...
Ветер бил ему прямо в лицо и шуршал в воротнике, и казалось, что это он нашептывал ему все эти мысли, принося их с широкого белого поля...

At the same time the wind gusted, swirling snow in their faces, soughing in the snow-laden firs, and hooting beneath the eaves of Collins's little house.
В этот самый момент порыв ветра бросил им в лицо снег, загудел в кронах хвойных деревьев, ветви которых гнулись под тяжестью уже лежащего на них снега, завыл под карнизами маленького дома Коллинза.

Serge lived there in solitude, a prey to sickening restlessness, half-stifling, lying on the couch and vainly trying to close his ears to the sighs of the soughing park and his nostrils to the haunting fragrance of the old furniture.
Серж жил там один, больше прежнего задыхаясь от мучительного беспокойства. Он спал теперь на диване, тщетно пытаясь уйти от вздохов старого парка, от запахов старой мебели.
