   • 1888, Eduardo Acevedo Díaz, Ismael‎^[1], Buenos Aires: La Tribuna Nacional:

     Poco habituado a este culto y a una idea superior acerca de lo divino, limitado a lo humano y a la fiereza del sentimiento de independencia individual, que adobaba bien la cruda vida del desierto, el gaucho errante tuvo que subordinar su sentido moral a ciertas preocupaciones y supercherías que daban halago a sus instintos, adquirían engorde en su ignorancia y ofrecían excusa o pretexto a sus arranques geniales y a sus caprichos crueles.

     Unaccustomed to this cult and to a higher idea about the divine, limited to the human and the fierceness of the feeling of individual independence, which seasoned the harsh life of the desert well, the wandering gaucho had to subordinate his moral sense to certain concerns and tricks. who flattered his instincts, gained fat in his ignorance, and offered an excuse or pretext for his ingenious outbursts and his cruel whims.
