- 1928, Stefan Zweig, “Flucht in die Unsterblichkeit”, in Sternstunden der Menschheit:
- Staunend und verächtlich sieht der Kazike das Toben: Es ist das ewige Staunen aller Naturkinder an allen Enden der Erde über die Kulturmenschen, denen eine Handvoll gelbes Metall kostbarer erscheint als alle geistigen und technischen Errungenschaften ihrer Kultur.
- The cacique watches their rage with astonishment and contempt: it is the eternal amazement of nature's children all over the earth, wondering why a fistful of yellow metal is more precious to civilized man than all the spiritual and technical achievements of his culture.
