TIA | Hi, your sentence was of great interest to me, and I meant to rephrase it yesterday, but I thought Idol's parse was perfect. Now you mention it; I'll venture my childish version: He moved his eyes along the wall and finally to the picture of James Calver: his eyes were fixed on the low forehead of James Calver and on James' eyes which, were obsessively enthusiastic and focus-on-one-thing(looking attentively at only one thing). |
