Excerpt from Poems
There is a Picture by Retzsch on this subject, which forcibly strikes the imagination. The Artist however has kept us in uncertainty respecting the denouement. The Enemy of Mankind has evidently a fearful advantage over his Youthful Competitor. For the latter, the Game and with it the stake, (the soul of the mortal), is all but lost. There stand indeed two forms in the back ground; the Ministers of Light and Darkness; but has the former power to save him? nay, is he not already departing to grieve over a lost soul!
