   • 1885, Émile Zola, Germinal:

     Vers la droite, le terri barrait la vue, colossal comme une barricade de géants, déjà couvert d'herbe dans sa partie ancienne, consumé à l'autre bout par un feu intérieur qui brûlait depuis un an, avec une fumée épaisse, en laissant à la surface, au milieu du gris blafard des schistes et des grès, de longues traînées de rouille sanglante.
