    • 1928, Elisha Kent Kane, Gongorism and the Golden Age
      Again, the Trimalconian banquets of the rich, with their voluptuous foods and the tragalism of the orgies too often following are parallels to the crapulous tropes of the Soledades.
    • 1966, Hedley McCay, Padraic Pearse: A New Biography (page 39)
      Tragalism may easily stand out as the main feature of the Grecian tales. A rollicking roistering work like The Midnight Court of the Protestant Brian Merriman can still be a schoolboy's text for examination, but only after severe bowdlerisation and expurgation.
