  • 2 a capful of wind

    мор.

    Only a little hour ago I was whistling to Saint Antonio For a capful of wind to fill our sail, And instead of a breeze he sent a gale. (H. Longfellow, ‘The Golden Legend’, V) — Только час назад Святому Антонию я свистал, О легком ветре я мечтал, Взамен он сильный шторм послал.
