Paine, ‘Letter to the Addressers, Referring to Edmund Burke’, 1792, HBQ) — Так вышло, что Эдмунд Берк блистательно начал и плачевно кончил.
He has risen like a rocket and he will come down like a stick. (J. G. Lockhart, in review of the Pickwick Papers in the Quarterly Review, HBQ) — Диккенс взлетел вверх как ракета, а упал как хворостина.
I will watch for that stick, Mr. Lockhart, and when it comes down, I will break it across your back. (Ch.
