Excerpt from The Memoirs of Count Carlo Gozzi, Vol. 2 of 2: Translated Into English IN the course of these Memoirs I have promised more than once to give an exact description of my external appearance and internal qualities, and also to narrate the story of my love-affairs. In stature I am tall. Of this I am made conscious by the large amount of cloth needed for my cloaks, and by the frequent knocks I give my forehead on enter ing rooms with low doors. I have the good luck to be neither crook-backed, lame, blind, nor squint eyed. I call this good luck; and yet if I were afflicted with one or other of these deformities, I should bear it with the same lightness of heart at Venice as Scarron put up with his deformities in Paris.
