You are really angry with me for not having appeared to you in a red glow, with thunder and lightning, with scorched wings, but have shown myself in such a modest form.
-- Воистину ты злишься на меня за то, что я не явился тебе как-нибудь в красном сиянии, "гремя и блистая", с опаленными крыльями, а предстал в таком скромном виде.

Large drops of rain were falling, she did not even notice it; but it fell faster and heavier, there were flashes of lightning and peals of thunder.

There was a fresh peal of thunder as violent and awful; the sky was not growling and rumbling now, but uttering short crashing sounds like the crackling of dry wood.
Раздался новый удар, такой же сильный и ужасный. Небо уже не гремело, не грохотало, а издавало сухие, трескучие, похожие на треск сухого дерева, звуки.

I recalled the slashes he'd left on my chest, and praised him lavishly until the thunder on his face cleared.
Я вспомнил о ранах, которые он оставил на моей груди, и принялся расточать ему щедрые похвалы, пока тучи на его лице не рассеялись.

A gust of wind shivered restlessly in the dark trees, and somewhere, far away on the horizon, muffled thunder angrily muttered as it were to itself.
Ветерок беспокойно содрогался в темных деревьях, и где-то далеко за небосклоном, словно про себя, ворчал гром сердито и глухо.

This sudden horrible rupture affected him like a clap of thunder; it was like a hideous joke, an absurdity.

It might not have been easy to decide in respect of which of their manifold properties, Jonas, Mr Pecksniff, the carpet-bag, and the portmanteau, could be likened to a clap of thunder.
Затруднительно было бы решить, в каком отношении и какими именно из многих своих разнородных качеств мистер Джонас, мистер Пексниф, ковровый саквояж и чемодан могли сравниться с ударом грома.
