Faust: My heart’s on fire — let us depart!
Mephistopheles: This is the true poetic art
and I have never met with prettier poets;

Goethe Month: The unforgettable sight of Margareta
July 25, 2010Asia forever.
By God, but that’s a lovely girl!
More lovely than I’ve ever met.
So virtuous, so decent, yet
A touch of sauciness as well!
Her lips so red, her cheeks so bright —
All my life I’ll not forget that sight.
(Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Faust, Act I, Scene 10, 2609–15.)
Bella Argento. You have just been blinded. With Science.
