128 lie in the bed one has made
(lie (или sleep) in (или on) the bed one has made (тж. make one's bed and have to lie in или on it))расплачиваться за свои поступки; ≈ пожинать то, что посеял [происходит от посл. as you make your bed, so you must lie on it; см. as you make your bed, so you must lie on it]She felt that she must not yield, she must go on leading her straitened, humdrum life. This was her punishment for having made a mistake. She had made her bed, and she must lie on it. (Th. Dreiser, ‘Jennie Gerhardt’, ch. XIX) — И все же Дженни чувствовала, что не должна уступать Кейну, должна по-прежнему вести честную, трудную и однообразную жизнь. Это наказание за ее прошлое. Она должна пожинать то, что сама посеяла.
