Между двумЯ стУльями упадёшь на землю // Тот, кто колеблется в вЫборе, упускает все возможности. |
It is difficult to understand how, possessed of these combined attractions, she should remain Miss Brass ... certain it is
that she was still in а state of celibacy, and still in daily
occupation of her old stool opposite to that of her brother
Sampson. And equally certain it is, Ьу the way, that between
those two stools а great many people Ьаd соте to tЬе ground.
(Dickens)
We fall most horribly between two stools- the triЬe and the society of conscious intelligent beings. (Huxley) Something hurried him thither, tЬat odd strain tЬat was for ever cropping up in every Herries generation, the strain of the dreamer, the romanticist, the sigher for what was not, the rebel against facts; and in that old Elizabethan Herries this romantic dreaming went ill enough with hardness, his pushing ambitions, his desire for wealth. Вetween tЬе two stools of temperament he fell to tЬе ground, as mаnу another Herries had done before him. ( Walpo/e) |
