1 grave as an owl
мрачный, насупленный, угрюмый; ≈ смотрит сычомIn the name of good Saint John, what has befallen you, that makes you look as grave as an owl, when a lad of your spirit, having really such a fancy for this poor girl as you pretend, ought to be as lively as a lark? (W. Scott, ‘The Fair Maid of Perth’, ch. V) — Во имя святого Иоанна! Чем же ты так расстроен? Смотришь угрюмым сычом, когда всякий на твоем месте, если бы впрямь любил без ума мою бедную девочку, был бы сейчас весел, как жаворонок!
