Faust

  • Лиза Старовойтоваhas quoted6 months ago
    long-unwonted yearning
  • Лиза Старовойтоваhas quoted8 months ago
    Their very plaudits give my heart a pang
  • Josshas quoted5 years ago
    Vanish, ye darking
    Arches above him!
    Loveliest weather,
    Born of blue ether,
    Break from the sky!
    O that the darkling
    Clouds had departed!
    Starlight is sparkling,
    Tranquiller-hearted
    Suns are on high.
  • Andrej Mirkovićhas quoted5 years ago
    MEPHISTOPHELES (solus)

    I like, at times, to hear The Ancient's word,
    And have a care to be most civil:
    It's really kind of such a noble Lord
    So humanly to gossip with the Devil!

    Who overcometh, winneth too.
    The Holy Church has a stomach healthy:
    Hath eaten many a land as forfeit,
    And never yet complained of surfeit:

    Part of that Power, not understood,
    Which always wills the Bad, and always works the Good.

    What hidden sense in this enigma lies?

    Canst thou with lying flattery rule me,
    Until, self-pleased, myself I see,—
    Canst thou with rich enjoyment fool me,
    Let that day be the last for me!
    The bet I offer.

    'Tis written: "In the Beginning was the Word."
    Here am I balked: who, now can help afford?
    The Word?—impossible so high to rate it;
    And otherwise must I translate it.
    If by the Spirit I am truly taught.
    Then thus: "In the Beginning was the Thought"
    This first line let me weigh completely,
    Lest my impatient pen proceed too fleetly.
  • roroabdeen98has quoted5 years ago
    Is it the Thought which works, creates, indeed?
    "In the Beginning was the Power," I read.
    Yet, as I write, a warning is suggested,
    That I the sense may not have fairly tested.
    The Spirit aids me: now I see the light!
    "In the Beginning was the Act," I write.
