  • 6 loom large

    вырисовываться принимать осязаемые формы; принимать угрожающие размеры

    As early as 1897, before he loomed large upon the political horizon, Roosevelt, writing to Lodge about a municipal campaign exclaimed: ‘The really ugly feature of the Republican canvass is that it does represent what the populists say, that is, corrupt wealth.’ (Ch. Beard and M. Beard, ‘The Rise of American Civtlization’, ch. XXV) — Теодор Рузвельт писал в 1897 году Лоджу по поводу муниципальных выборов (тогда еще его звезда не взошла на политическом горизонте): "Отвратительно то, что предвыборная кампания республиканцев действительно отражает интересы погрязшего в коррупции класса богачей-популисты в этом правы."
