Faust – JW von Goethe (1831)

Second Part – Act I – pg. 25

Megaera:

…For, let them once be married,

I go to work and can, in every case,

The fairest bliss by wilful whims displace.

Man has his various moods, the hours are varied,

And, holding the Desired that once did charm him,

Each for the More-desired, a yearning fool,

Leaves the best fortune, use has rendered cool:

He flies the sun, and seeks the frost to warm him.

Author:

Stories and scribbles from imagination and life, meant to amuse as you peruse at your leisure, while perhaps offering in return for your time, a modicum of pleasure. Some words may offer comfort, should such need arise, perhaps a bit of joy, or new ideas to surmise. Or a tear or two might stealthily travel down a cheek, for strong emotions to elicit a writer must certainly seek. Though some may be dull, others may be awfully clever, at least I hope you find it so, for such is my endeavor. And as long as the muse continues to inspire me to write, so I'll keep on doing for such is my delight. Happy reading.
