Synopsis
Excerpt from Illustrations to Goethe's Faust
His life of earth, whatever my attire, Would pain me in its wonted fashion. Too old am I to play with passion, Too young to be without desire. What from the world have I to gain? Thou shalt abstain - renounce - refrain! Such is the everlasting song That in the ears of all men rings, - That unrelieved, our whole life long.
