Faust -- translated by Brooks
(Auto-generated)
- A title, first, their confidence must waken,
That your art many another art transcends,
Then may you, lucky man, on all those trifles reckon
For which another years of groping spends:
Know how to press the little pulse that dances,
And fearlessly, with sly and fiery glances,
Clasp the dear creatures round the waist
To see how tightly they are laced.†Chpt Alltranscends = exceeds or surpasses - Then there'll be talk of truth unending,
Of love o'ermastering, all transcending—Will every word be heart-born there?†Chpt All *transcending = exceeding or surpassing
