You want to see God. And you want God to see you, and hence the gods have very large eyes, large unblinking eyes, sometimes made of silver, so they look at you.
Quieres ver a Dios y quieres que Dios te vea a ti, de ahí que los Dioses tengan ojos grandes, ojos grandes que no parpadean, a veces hechos de plata, para que puedan mirarte.
