(А. Писемский, Тысяча душ) — The old man responded with a broad grin... 'There's life in the old dog yet! You know the proverb: A grey beard, but a lusty heart.'
Но - "седина-то в бороду, а бес в ребро", бес - это и есть "дух". Наступал какой-то роковой день, и благочестивая жизнь взрывалась вдребезги, в чад, грязь и дым. (М. Горький, Беседы о ремесле) — To rephrase the proverb, there's no sinner like a hoary sinner when the 'spirit' yields to the blandishments of the flesh. There came an evil day when this upright life would fall apart like a house of soiled and greasy cards.
