Status Updates From Dr. Faustus

"My song, to faint Aeolian murmurs turning, Sways like a harp-string by the breezes fanned. I thrill and tremble; tear on tear is burning, And the stern heart is tenderly unmanned. What I possess, I see far distant lying, And what I lost, grows real and undying."

p.21/118. Scene II. Before Faustus’ House (repaginating).

How I got a MFA in theatre without ever reading this is astonishing to me. As a Christian, it’s so worth reading, esp the source material & historic docs. An eye opener on the true meaning of making a deal w/ the devil aka a Faustian Bargain, and how those in a lost mindset struggle to escape from the blinders of sin, to knowledge that w/repentance comes grace, forgiveness and ultimately eternal life with Christ.
