Status Updates From Faust. Der Tragödie Erster ...

Finished end of scene 1. Very heavy. Not only is Faust a fool, but he is a very, very evil character. It honestly was emotionally taxing to read his passages because of how much discomfort reading his words gave me

Rip Poet you would have loved Hinge 🙏 and William Blake 🙏 also am I understanding correctly is there a portal to hell in the theater or what bc I felt like everything was making sense and then Poet found something new to complain about and then the Manager was yapping away and I just got so lost lol

I thought the opera was nuts. This is even more nuts. Already seeing how much inspo Phantom pulled from this lol I love it

«Das ist die Welt;
Sie steigt und fällt
Und rollt beständig;
Sie klingt wie Glas
Wie bald bricht das!
Ist hohl inwendig.
Hier glänzt sie sehr,
Und hier noch mehr:
"Ich bin lebendig!"
Mein lieber Sohn,
Halt dich davon!
Du mußt sterben!
Sie ist von Ton,
Es gibt Scherben»
