Surrounded with all the materials of study, he is meditating on the vanity and utter worthlessness of all they can lead him to. In early life, he has entered upon the search of truth with the fearlessness natural to his ardent temper, solicited by such an object; spurn- ing those consecrated barriers, which, though they tend to repress the freedom of thought, often serve also to concentrate its exertions, and there- by increase its results — he has attempted to pene- trate the most secret reces...ses of physical and mental nature: he has now examined all, and no- where found one satisfactory conclusion. From each keener effort to divine the essence of things, his mind has returned back more faint and full of doubt: and when philosophy, in all its depart- ments, is explored to the utmost limits of human research, Faust finds himself as ignorant as at the outset. Words will not satisfy him, and of real ex- istences he cannot gain the knowledge. There are 69 FAUSTUS no first indubitable principles to guide him; and still the universe, study it as he may, appears be- fore him a dark entangled riddle, the meaning of which, if it have any, is impenetrably hid from men.
