References in classic literature...

Typhoon by Conrad, Joseph

But the survivor could not forget that his name was still in the newspapers, nor blink the fact that he was an unworthy hero of the passing hour.
Dead Men Tell No Tales by Hornung, E. W.

I believe he didn't even blink. It isn't natural.
Chance by Conrad, Joseph
