Translation examples
noun
He looked up veiledly now through the iron rondures of the astrolabe at the twin of his own face pushing forth from a windowless square of the opposite wall: it was his own waxen life-mask, taken within the year and most realistically tinted and blackly hair-tufted by his finest artist, save that the white-irised eyes were of necessity closed ― though the mask still gave a feeling of peering.
Miró veladamente a través de los redondeles de hierro del astrolabio a la réplica de su rostro, colgada de la pared opuesta: era su propia máscara en cera, obtenida aquel mismo año y pintada realistamente por su mejor artista. Los ojos de iris blancos estaban cerrados por necesidad, pero aun así la máscara daba la sensación de estar mirando.
