    погов.
    lit. this old grey nag has galloped up a steep hill or two; he is but the shadow of his former self; cf. the feet are slow when the head wears snow; a cracked bell can never sound well

    Боль в сердце становилась всё горячее. На лбу у него выступила испарина. Он сошёл с крыльца, испуганно прижимая к левой стороне груди ладонь, подумал: "Видно - укатали сивку крутые горки..." (М. Шолохов, Тихий Дон) — The pain in his heart seared more and more. Sweat beaded his forehead. Fearfully pressing his palm against his left breast, he went down the steps, thinking: 'This old grey nag has galloped up a steep hill or two!'
