To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:


But by degrees Faust apprehends their deeper import. Thus he becomes once more positive and learns through these strange forms the way to the discovery of and rational union with Helena ; and Helena, let us l-emember, represents the most refined forms of beauty which were evolved from the art-spirit of the ancient world when that spirit had attained maturity.
As Faust becomes more familiar with these strange forms he finds himself drawn into fiiendly communion with them. Above all he questions
...eagerly the nobler ones among them ; though this is always with reference to the one chief object of his search.
His first appeal is made to the Sphinx, whose destructive char- acter had ceased with the discovery on the part of man that he him- self is the growing solution of the world's greatest riddle. This mighty being, now grown benevolent, exerts its dim gift of premoni- tion in Faust's behalf and directs him to Cheiron, the noble centaur who had been the wise instructor of Achilles. And Achilles in his turn was, as we know, the greatest of the heroes in that expedition the chief purpose of which was the restoration of Helen to her right- ful place in the world's order.
