Чёрт может цитИровать бИблию в своИх целях // И неблаговИдные постУпки можно оправдывать. |
А quotation from the BiЬle саше to my lips, but I held my
tongue, for I know that clergymen think it а little blasphemous
when the laity poach uроn their preserves. Му Uncle Henry, for
twenty-seven years Vicar of Whitstable, was оп these occasions
iп the habit of saying that thе devil could always quote saipture
to his purpose. (Maugham)
I never could have believed that I should have met with such overstrained oldmaidish prudery in any human being, much less in you, of all people iп the world. It's something in the style of the devll qoodng Saipture like а very learned clerk-1 declare to goodness it is. (Вroughton) Не said with blurred courtesy, "I think I am unpardonably intruding, but you have had ill success at the taЬ!es and I carry with me good tidings, sir and madam. " "Well," Cary said, "we were just going-" She told me later that his use of а biblical phrase gave her а touch of shivers, of diablerie- the devil at ЬВ old game of quoting scripture. ( Greene) |
