...Ah, yes, cooed the great-great-great-granddaughter of George Calvert, the first Lord Baltimore, "it's so romantic, this history and genealogy business. I'm so happy the flag is going back to America."

Faust, as Goethe conceives him, is the image of Western man: man sundered, as Goethe was, by an intolerable antithesis of spirit and substance. Faust cries out: "Two beings ah! within my breast are fighting!" One clings to the earth, one "mightily thrusts upward to the sky." Salvation, for Goethe, lies in man's capacity to reconcile these opposites in creative activity.
