kannst ja sonst ´ne Onlineübersetzung nehmen:

It folds, in order to make the similarity still more perfect, its hands over the golden Knoepfchen, which lock its belly, and gives oneself to a persistent view of air, the play of the Sonnenstaeubchen and wahrschainlich unites thoughts, which might affect its private life.
(<-- Google Sprachtools)

But the translation by google is sh*t.


I can't really say what it exactly means, but maybe I can help you with the meaning.

"gibt sich einer beharrlichen Betrachtung der Luft hin...." means that he is steadily watching the air, the play / game of the "sundust" (dunno why that word is used hier, but that translation is very close), and probably some thoughts which might concern his private life.

I Would say it nearly that way:

He folds, in order to make the similarity still more perfect, his hands over the golden (little Buttons on his clothes), which lock its belly, and gives oneself to a persistent view of the air, the play of the Sun-Dust and maybe some thoughts, which might affect his private life.

Ich würde sagen (ich komme aus America )

In order to perfect the similarity, he folds his hands over the golden buttons, which locks his belly, and gives a persistent view of the air, the play of the sun-dust, and probably a/some thoughts, that may effect his private life.

Hoffentlich ist das nicht zu spät!
