It looks more like it in UTF-8, though :-P (This mail is
also in UTF-8 in case it should get mangled)

Ayeri:

“A man gives himself the task to make pictures of the whole
world. He fills a whole corner with pictures of provinces,
of kingdoms, of mountains, of shores, of ships, of islands,
of fishes, of rooms, of tools, of stars, of horses, and of
people through the years that pass. In the small moment
before his death he discovers (that) that guessway, which is
fully filled [i.e. brimfull] with details, mirrors the
wrinkles of his face.”

Not completely literal in places, but I think it should be
OK.
