The young man seemed to be stricken with a sort of dizzy stupor, his eyes receded farther and farther into the depth of their dark sockets, whilst his whole face became withered, aged as it were, and covered with an earthy pallor.
Il semblait frappé d’une stupeur de vertige, ses yeux s’enfonçaient de plus en plus au fond des orbites noires, tandis que la face entière se desséchait, vieillissait à vue d’œil, envahie d’une ombre grise, couleur de la terre.

His profile is that of a hen, too—no chin and a long nose. A gray overlay of beard felts his receded cheek, and you see his heavy eyelids, rounded and horny, move up and down like shutters on the dull beads of his eyes.
Il a également un profil de poule : pas de menton et un long nez ; une plaque grise de barbe feutre sa joue rentrée, et on voit monter et descendre de grosses paupières rondes et cornées, comme des couvercles sur la verroterie dépolie de ses yeux.
