123 искать иголку в стогу сена
Андрей Арсентьевич остановился, чтобы хорошенько разобраться в местности и прокричать в бесчисленный раз: "Даша!", "Да-аша!"... Теперь, когда давящий и пугающий ночной мрак сменился рассветом, логика вновь потребовала ответа: не в стогу ли сена ты ищешь иголку? (С. Сартаков, Свинцовый монумент) — Andrei Arsentievich stopped to study the locality and for the hundredth time shouted: 'Dasha! Da-asha!'... Now, when the oppressive and frightening darkness of the night had given way to daylight, his reason again demanded to be answered: was he looking for a needle in a haystack?
