English term or phrase: as I look back from here
Excellent, Lord, as I look back from here

Fiquei em dúvida no final. Seria algo como:

Excelente, Lorde, "pelo que vi daqui/pelo que me recordo(lembro)".

Clarification request(s) and response
Erik Bry: 6:44am Dec 26, 2007: you should put in more context...otherwise it could be translated in a number ways
Marcelo Almeida: 11:17am Dec 26, 2007: Contexto. - O Rei tinha acabado de fazer uma pegadinha/brincadeira com os seus convidados. Ele fingiu aparecer em um local, mas apareceu em outro. Então, um dos convidados achou que ela foi interessante. Foi aí que ele falou isso.
Paula Vaz-Carreiro: 12:53pm Dec 26, 2007: Sorry Marcelo but I think still more context is needed... What is the rest of the sentence? What follows "Excellent, Lord, as I look back from here" ?
Marcelo Almeida: 3:49pm Dec 26, 2007: Well, here is what comes after the sentence: - “Excellent, Lord , as I look back from here.” The King laughed, still waving to the cheerful crowd. “But miserably, when I consider how homesickness has often tormented me.” The King and Queen smiled at each other.

as i look back from here da retrospectiva que tenho daqui ...

Explanation:
Assim diria. Veja como o Houaiss define "retrospectiva":

n substantivo feminino
1 exposição em que se apresentam as obras de um artista, de uma escola, de uma época, com perspectiva histórica, mostrando a respectiva evolução
Ex.: o museu fez uma r. da obra de Lasar Segall
2 relato de uma série de acontecimentos decorridos durante certo período; retrospecto, retrospecção
Ex.: em dezembro, a emissora fará uma r. dos principais acontecimentos jornalísticos do ano
