8 is Saul also among the prophets?
Саул во пророках? (о человеке, отстаивающем то, на что перед этим он энергично нападал) [этим. библ. I Samuel X, 11]‘What said Alasco of my horoscope?’ demanded Leicester. ‘You already told me, but it has escaped me, for I think but lightly of that art.’ ‘Many learned and great men have thought otherwise,’ said Varney; ‘and not to flatter your lordship, my own opinion leans that way!’ ‘Ay, Saul among the prophets?’ said Leicester. ‘I thought thou were sceptical in all such matters as thou couldst neither see, hear, smell, taste or touch, and that thy belief was limited by thy senses.’ (W. Scott, ‘Kenilworth’, ch. XXXII) — - Что сказал Аласко о моем гороскопе? - спросил Лестер. - Ты уже говорил мне. Но я забыл, потому что не принимаю эту науку всерьез. - Многие ученые и великие люди думали иначе, - отозвался Варни, - боюсь, огорчу вашу светлость, но я склоняюсь к их мнению. - Неужели и Саул во пророках? А я считал, что ты скептически относишься ко всему, что не можешь увидеть, услышать, понюхать, потрогать или попробовать на вкус, и полагал, что ты веришь только свидетельству своих чувств.
