English Meaning

Its one terrible, expansive eye, seeing all, was on the fore-head placed on its breast and shone forth like to the flaming fire and it had huge yellow eye-lashes. Its mouth was greatly widened and covered with rows of huge teeth and it was again and again licking that terrible mouth.
