"Goetz von Berlichingen," written in Goethe's earliest days of authorship, is German and in prose, "Faust" the greatest poem of these latter times, and rivaling the greatest poems of all time "Faust" is not strictly a drama: its wonderful successive scenes are not bound together by dramatic necessity.
