My beard, I am afraid, is rather long;
And without easy manners, gentle breeding,
I fear there is small chance of my succeeding;
I feel so awkward ’mid the busy throng,
So powerless and so insignificant,
And what all others have I seem to want.
Mephistopheles.
Bah! never fear; the simple art of living
Is just to live right on without misgiving!
Faust.
