Johann Wolfgang von Goethe - LegendJohann Wolfgang von Goethe - Legend
Work rating: Low


THERE lived in the desert a holy man To whom a goat-footed Faun one day Paid a visit, and thus began To his surprise: "I entreat thee to pray That grace to me and my friends may be given, That we may be able to mount to Heaven, For great is our thirst for heav`nly bliss." The holy man made answer to this: "Much danger is lurking in thy petition, Nor will it be easy to gain admission; Thou dost not come with an angel`s salute; For I see thou wearest a cloven foot." The wild man paused, and then answer`d he: "What doth my goat`s foot matter to thee? Full many I`ve known into heaven to pass Straight and with ease, with the head of an ass!"
