8 handwriting on the wall
зловещее предзнаменование [этим. библ. Daniel V, 5-25]This inexplicable incident... seemed, like the Babylonian finger on the wall, to be spelling out the letters of my judgment... (R. L. Stevenson, ‘The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde’, ‘Henry Jekyll's Full Statement of The Case’) — Этот необъяснимый инцидент... казался мне предвозвестником грядущего несчастья...
The election resulted in a ringing victory for the Radicals... Instead of seeing the handwriting on the wall in this Radical success, the Southern planters proceeded to provoke the situation further by rejecting with overwhelming votes in all the Southern States the Fourteenth Amendment, which granted the franchise to Negroes. (W. Foster, ‘The Negro People in American History’, ch. 28) — Выборы принесли решительную победу радикалам... Вместо того чтобы увидеть в победе радикалов приговор себе, плантаторы Юга продолжали обострять обстановку, отвергнув подавляющим большинством голосов четырнадцатую поправку, которая предоставляла избирательные права неграм.
With every day the danger was growing, the handwriting on the wall becoming clearer, and finally, as a few wise men had foreseen, the dogs of war once again were loosed upon the world. (A. J. Cronin, ‘Adventures in Two Worlds’, ch. 35) — С каждым днем опасность увеличивалась. Зловещие тучи сгущались, и наконец, как и предсказывала горстка дальновидных людей, бешеные псы войны были спущены на мир.
