120 блажь нашла
прост.one was seized with a sudden whim; the fancy took him (her, etc.); one took a crazy notion to do smth.- Как же, кум? - прервал Черевик: - как же могло это статься, чтобы чорта выгнали из пекла? - Что ж делать, кум? выгнали, да и выгнали, как собаку мужик выгоняет из хаты. Может быть, на него нашла блажь сделать какое-нибудь доброе дело, ну и указали двери. (Н. Гоголь, Сорочинская ярмарка) — 'What do you say, cousin?' interrupted Cherevik. 'How can that be, now, that a devil should be given the boot from hell?' 'Well, that's what happened, cousin: he was expelled, chased out, just as a peasant chases a dog out of the house. Maybe he took a notion to do some good deed and they showed him the door.'
