  • 77 point of war

    уст.

    The roll of the drum and shrill accompaniment of the fifes swelled up the hill - died away - resumed its thunder - and was at length hushed. The trumpets and kettle-drums of the cavalry were next heard to perform the beautiful and wild point of war appropriated as a signal for that piece of nocturnal duty, and then finally sunk upon the wind with a shrill and mournful cadence. (W. Scott, ‘Waverley’, ch. XLVI) — Дробь барабана и пронзительные звуки флейты поднялись волной до холма, стихли, снова загрохотал барабан и потом окончательно смолк. Тут вступили трубы и литавры кавалеристов. Прекрасный и воинственный сигнал, присвоенный этой ночной церемонии, на несколько мгновений нарушил безмолвие и замер наконец, унесенный ветром, на высокой и скорбной ноте.
