A good example of poshlust found in Gorki's "Man" (Chelovek):
"Faith (Vera) with her dark eyes looks into his [Man's] rebellious face and awaits when she can calmly embrace him..." (zhdiot ego v svoi spokoinye ob'iatiia, can not translate the phrase's ending adequately)
A little further into Gorki's piece, Poshlost' is called "daughter of the vile Boredom" that in turn is called "daughter of Idleness." Poshlost' is thus a grand-daughter of Idleness (Len').
