Faust -- translated by Brooks
(Auto-generated)
- Where Fantasy, erewhile, with daring flight
Out to the infinite her wings expanded,
A little space can now suffice her quite,
When hope on hope time's gulf has wrecked and stranded.†Chpt All * - Yes, I have vainly, let me not deny it,
Of human learning ransacked all the stores,
And when, at last, I set me down in quiet,
There gushes up within no new-born force;
I am not by a hair's-breadth higher,
Am to the Infinite no nigher.†Chpt All - And call this glow, within me burning,
Infinite—endless—endless yearning,
Is that a devilish lying game?†Chpt All - Change him, thou Infinite Spirit!†
