Sinopsis

Excerpt from Dramatic Works of Goethe: Comprising Faust, Iphigenia in Tauris, Torquato Tasso, Egmont

N the numerous versions of Faust which are already before the public,* and the ability with which fragments of this great poem have been rendered into English verse, it is, I believe, admitted, that no translator has yet succeeded in embody ing its entire Spirit in a metrical form. How far I have been successful in accomplishing this difficult task, I must leave others to determine; I can only say that, impelled by admiration of the Splendid poetry scattered through its pages, I have laboured diligently to render my translation a faithful reflection of the original, and if I have sometimes failed, it must not be attributed to any want of earnest endeavour.
