    куча детей [этим. библ. Psalms CXXVII, 4-5]

    It seems pretty certain that prehistoric... man obeyed the edict "Be fruitful and multiply": to have a quiverful of children was to be blessed. (K. Longdale, ‘Is Peace Possible’, Kenk) — Можно почти наверняка утверждать, что доисторический человек подчинялся заповеди "плодитесь и размножайтесь". Иметь кучу детей считалось большой удачей.

    With him entered Mr. and Mrs. Boyce... with Dick Boyce... and two girl Boyces, who were fourteen and fifteen years of age. Mrs. Dale... asked reproachfully why Jane, and Charles and Florence, and Bessy did not come, - Boyce being a man who had his quiver full of them, - and Mrs. Boyce, giving the usual answer, declared that she already felt that they had come as an avalanche. (A. Trollope, ‘The Small House at Allington’, ch. IX) — Вместе со сквайром в комнату вошли мистер и миссис Бойс... Дик Бойс... и две их дочки, одна четырнадцати, а другая пятнадцати лет. Миссис Дейл попеняла, почему не пришли Джейн с Чарлзом и Флоренс с Бесси - ведь у мистера Бойса так много деток. На это миссис Бойс, как всегда, ответила, что они и так обрушились на миссис Дейл подобно лавине.
