Faust
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Book Overview:
Faust is the protagonist of a classic German legend; a highly successful scholar, but also dissatisfied with his life, and so makes a deal with the devil, exchanging his soul for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures.
This first part of Faust is not divided into acts, but is structured as a sequence of scenes in a variety of settings. After a dedicatory poem and a prelude in the theatre, the actual plot begins with a prologue in Heaven and Scene 1 in Faust's study. (Introduction modified from Wikipedia)

Where art thou, Faust, whose voice has pierced to me,
Who towards me pressed with all thine energy?

A writhing worm, a terror-stricken form?

Thee, form of flame, shall I then fear?
Yes, I am Faust: I am thy peer!

In the tides of Life, in Action's storm,
A fluctuant wave,
A shuttle free,
Birth and the Grave,
An eternal sea,
A weaving, flowing
Life, all-glowing,
Thus at Time's humming loom 'tis my hand prepares
The garment of Life which the Deity wears!
