The most lovely landscapes seen in this mirror looked like boiled spinach³, and the best people became hideous⁴, or stood on their heads and had no stomachs; their faces were so distorted as to be unrecognizable,and a single freckle⁵ was shown spread out over nose and mouth.

Those who went to the goblin school----for he kept a goblin school----declared everywhere that a wonder had been wrought⁹. For now, they asserted, one could see, for the first time, how the world and the people in it really looked. They ran about with the mirror, and at last there was not a single country or person that had not been distorted in it. Now they wanted to fly up to heaven,to sneer¹⁰ and scoff11
