Not without reason is poor guileless Margaret horrified at Mephistopheles. She shudders, hides herself on the bosom of Faust, like a dove under the wings of an eagle, and complains that the Evil Spirit ... Always wears such mocking grin, Half cold, half grim, One sees that nought has interest for him; 'Tis writ on his brow, and can't be mistaken, No soul in him can love awaken.
They'll put a better boy up on the colt next time, an' he ought to come home all by himself" "Yes, a fairish sort of a jock will have the mount I think-Westley's a good enough boy." "Westley?" came wonderingly from Faust. "Yes; Langdon owns The Dutchman now." The Cherub pursed his fat round lips in a soft whistle of enlightenment.
Faust torment himself to discover what ‘the word’ here meant, and did not find it out?” He says in Goethe:— “’Tis writ: ‘In the beginning was the Word’! I pause perplexed! Who now will help afford? I cannot the mere Word so highly prize, I must translate it otherwise.” But this is just what he ought not do.
He challenges the seducer, and in the encounter is slain by the intervention of Mephistopheles. Overcome by the horror of her situation, Marguerite becomes insane, and in her frenzy kills her child. She is thrown into prison, where Faust and Mephistopheles find her.
I think it was in this alcove that I saw the inkstand which Luther threw at the Devil, and the ring which Essex, while under sentence of death, sent to Queen Elizabeth. And here was the blood-incrusted pen of steel with which Faust signed away his salvation. The virtuoso now opened the door of a closet and showed me a lamp burning, while three others stood unlighted by its side.

According to Mr.
"Thirty-five years' work that represents, Crewe," he said as they were driving back to the flat; "thirty-five years of risk and thought and organisation, and ended in pulp stinking pulp that burns your fingers when you touch it." He began to whistle and Crewe noticed with curiosity that he chose the "Soldiers' Chorus" from "Faust" for the dirge to his lost fortune.
Crossley was one of those men who are never so practical as when they profess to be, and fancy themselves, impractical. He became a grand-opera manager and organized for a season that would surpass in interest any New York had known. Thus it came about that on a March night Mildred made her debut. The opera was "Faust."
He knew perfectly how the tone should be sung and the student was obliged to do it exactly right and must keep at it till it was right. He would let nothing faulty pass without correction. I also had lessons in acting from Madame Marini, a very good teacher of the art. "After five years of hard study I made my début at Piacenza, as Valentine, in Faust, November 6th, 1897.
"Where we are is hell, and where hell is there must we ever be," Mephistopheles continues, to which Faust answers that he thinks hell's a fable and asks him who made the world. And finally this tragic Doctor, tortured with our torture, meets Helen, who, although no doubt Marlowe never suspected it, is none other than renascent Culture.
