The Only Surviving remnant, In the German Language, Of The Ancient Heroic Poetry Cultivated by The Germanic Tribes Prior To Their Christianization. The Precious Fragment Consists Of 69 Alliterating Verses, Which Are Preserved in a Kassel Manuscript Of The 8Th Or 9Th Century. The Language Shows A Mixture Of Low And High German, There Are Gaps In the Text, The Meaning of Several Words Is Doubtful, And The Versification Is Here And There Defective. All This, Which Some Account For By Supposing that The Manuscript Was Copied from A Version Which Had Been Written Down From Memory And Not Perfectly Recalled, Makes Translation Difficult And Uncertain. The Poetic Version Here Given Is That Found In bötticher And Kinzel’S _Denkmäler Der Älteren Deutschen Literatur_, 9Th Edition, 1905, Which In the Main Follows Müllenhoff’S Text And Theories With Regard To Gaps, Transpositions, Etc. For A Careful Prose Version By A Very Competent Scholar See Kögel’S _Geschichte Der Deutschen Literatur_, I, I, 212. [mehr]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Faust is a tragic play in verse. Faust does not seek power through knowledge, but access to transcendent knowledge denied to the rational mind. Faust takes place in multiple settings, the first of which is heaven. Mephistopheles makes a bet with God: he says that he can lure God's favorite human being (Faust), who is striving to learn everything that can be known, away from righteous pursuits. The next scene takes place in Faust's study where Faust, despairing at the vanity of scientific, humanitarian and religious learning, turns to magic for the showering of infinite knowledge. He suspects, however, that his attempts are failing. Frustrated, he ponders suicide, but rejects it as he hears the echo of nearby Easter celebrations begin. He goes for a walk with his assistant Wagner and is followed home by a stray poodle. In Faust's study, the poodle transforms into the devil (Mephistopheles). Faust makes an arrangement with the devil: the devil will do everything that Faust wants while he is here on Earth, and in exchange Faust will serve the devil in Hell. Faust's arrangement is that if he is pleased enough with anything the devil gives him that he wants to stay in that moment forever, then he will die in that moment. [mehr]
