Faust. Seest thou not a pale

Fair girl, standing alone, far, far away?

She drags herself now forward with slow steps,

And seems as if she moved with shackled feet;

I cannot overcome the thought that she

Is like poor Margaret!

Meph. Let it be—pass on—

No good can come of it—it is not well

To meet it.—It is an enchanted phantom,

A lifeless idol; with its numbing look
