Деннисом (J. Dennis, 1657-1731), который писал об использовании искусственного грома при постановке "Макбета"; этот сценический эффект был изобретён Деннисом для его собственной пьесы "Аппий и Виргиния"; см. цитату]See how these rascals use me! They will not let my play run; and yet they steal my thunder. (‘Biographia Britannica’, J. Dennis, HBQ) — Посмотрите только, как эти мошенники поступили со мной! Они не хотят ставить мою пьесу, однако они украли мой гром.
‘I'll be damned if he isn't stealing most of my thunder,’ thought Mason to himself at this point. ‘He's forestalling most of the things I intended to riddle him with.’ (Th. Dreiser, ‘An American Tragedy’, book III, ch. XXXIV) — "Черт побери, а ведь он ворует мои громы и молнии! - подумал при этом Мейсон. - Перехватил большую часть вопросов, которыми я рассчитывал запутать Гриффитса".
Constantine had come and stolen some of his thunder: and he was nominating Constantine. It might be chivalry, but I was uneasy. (C. P. Snow, ‘The Search’, part III, ch. IV) — Появился Константин и украл у Фейна часть его лавров; тем не менее именно Фейн выдвигал его кандидатуру. Это могло быть рыцарством, но я чувствовал некоторое беспокойство.

She would not have the thunder of her wedding stolen by a presumptuous daughter coming up with a wedding of her own. (M. Dickens, ‘The Angel in the Corner’, ch. 2) — Это Хелен выходила замуж. Она была героиней дня. И она не допустит, чтобы свадьба ее самонадеянной дочери затмила ее собственную.
He couldn't afford to have his thunder stolen that night. Not by McSweeney. Just to show who was shouting, Bill swept all the glasses from the bar and ordered another case of champagne. (K. S. Prichard, ‘The Roaring Nineties’, ch. 68) — Нет уж, дудки, он никому не позволит переплюнуть себя. Никакому Мак-Суини! Чтобы сразу показать всем, кто сегодня угощает, Билл одним махом смел все стаканы со стойки на пол и заказал новый ящик шампанского.
