With very sincere thanks to Grit for the wonderful translation, and to the amazing Brian O'Nolan, aka Flann O'Brien for writing it in the first place. (In The Best of Myles, if anyone cares. Everyone should, it's amazing.)

Vor einigen Wochen wurde ich unterbrochen, als ich gerade im Begriff war, der Öffentlichkeit die langerwartete Beschreibung meines Gesichtes mitzuteilen.

A few weeks ago I was interrupted when about to give the public my long-awaited description of my own face.

Gritti will be in charge for the next two days, as I am heading north. :)
