     ♦ До гроба, до поздних дней благодарный воспитанник, подняв бокал в день рождения своего чудного воспитателя, уже давно бывшего в могиле, оставался, закрыв глаза, и лил слёзы по нем (Гоголь 3). То the grave, to the very last days, the grateful pupil would raise a glass on the birthday of his wonderful teacher though he had long been in his grave, and closing his eyes, he would weep for him (3a).
