My uncle had uplifted his long arms to the vault which was our sky; his mouth gaping wide, his eyes flashing behind his shining spectacles, his head balancing with an up-and-down motion, his whole attitude denoted unlimited astonishment.
Mi tío había elevado sus descomunales brazos hacia la espesa bóveda que nos servía de cielo. Su boca desmesuradamente abierta, sus ojos que fulguraban bajo los cristales de sus gafas, su cabeza que se movía en todas direcciones, toda su actitud, en fin, demostraba un asombro sin límites.
