|
who are searching ways over the human condition
|
god become startled and defends his creation:
|
"a good man knows by hear his certains way"
|
the devil asks him:"can you tell me one of those good men??"
|
godthinks:"my servant, faust"
|
the devil laughs scepitic and invites god to make a bet for faust's soul
|
|
the charlatan, the doctor faust, fatigued with theology and philosophy
|
a profound disgust with life and strong inclination towards death
|
he thinks commit suicide, but he finds another solution
|
the prohibited arts of damnable science may deliver him from his anguish of mind
|
|
in his gothic room looking the sign of cosmos
|
the doctor faust summons for the spirit of earth
|
he beats irritated on the magick book and contemplates
|
the sign of the spirit of earth
|
he pronounces the mysterious vocables to summon the spirit of earth
|
he lights a red flame and the spirit of earth appears on it
|
|
the spirit on red flame dialogues with faust and disappears
|
a damned dog with fiery eyes and a terrible mandible appears
|
|
f:"don't growl damned dog. what do you trace?"
|
d:"didn't you summon me?!?"
|
f:"who are you (spectre) to invade my house?!?"
|
d:"i'm mephistopheles. the spirit of earth. the devil"
|
|
the crucial moment arrived
|
mephistopheles promises the joy of life to faust
|
he doesn't hesitate and signs the pact
|
the apostasy is complete
|
|
f:"clouds accumulated above me. the full moon hides its brightness.
|
ardente rays move around my head. oh mephistopheles, spirit who I summoned,
|
my heart devotes itself for you. please, satisfy me and reveal me
|
all secrets of the universe which I don't know"
|
|
m: "hail doctor faust!!! I promise you unlimited wisdom and pleasure
|
you can usufruct entirely what was him promised for twenty years
|
but, after it, your soul will be mine"
|
|
mephistopheles and the doctor faust go to seek adventures
|
faust knew the pleasure by suffering of love and sin
|
after twenty years the pact is concluded
|
the servant gives himself to his new master
|
mephistopheles grasps him and tells him:"god could help you, if he wanted to"
|
|
a heaven without hell. the dream of faust
