Does anyone know how to paraphrase the following lines from the Cyclops story in the Odyssey?

"'Now comes the weird upon me, spoken of old. A wizard, grand and wondrous, lived here-Telemus, a son of Eurymus; great length of days he had in wizardry among the Cyclopses, and these things he foretold for time to come: my great eye lost, and at Odysseus' hands. Always I had in mind some giant, armed in giant force, would come against me here. But this, but you-small, pitiful and twiggy-you put me down with wine, you blinded me."

The giant is telling the story of Telemus looking for Odysseus while Odysseus took the giants eye and since he is a cyclopes he is now blind.
