when the sea gives up its dead

when the sea gives up its dead
"когда море вернёт всех погибших в нём", т. е. никогда; ≈ когда рак свистнет [этим. библ. Revelation XX, 13]

‘They're making up the accounts for the raffle...’ ‘What is it this time?’ ‘You go and ask 'em. I don't want to give no state secrets away. All in due time!’ ‘When the sea gives up its dead,’ said Old Ben... (J. Lindsay, ‘Betrayed Spring’, ch. 6) — - Они там колдуют над лотерейными билетами... - Что они там еще затеяли? - Спросите у них сами. Я не хочу выдавать государственные тайны. Узнаете в свое время. - Когда рак свистнет, - сказал старый Бен.
