" What } " asks Homunculus. Mephis- topheles at once throws open the door of Faust's chamber, and he is seen lying unconscious on a couch. Homuncu- lus' bottle at once slips out of Wagner's hands, hovers over Faust, and illuminates (beleudjtet) him. In his own light Homunculus at once sees Faust's dream. It consists of what used to pass for characteristically Greek in the days when Italian and other artists painted pictures of nymphs bathing. At last he sees the lieblidjfte t)on alien ©^enen, L...eda and the swan. We can easily see from this that the Greek subjectivity, which through Homunculus' light becomes visible in Faust, is just that aesthetic sensuality which was one of the chief causes of the disintegration 1 [The All Scarcely suffices for the natural; The artificial needs a bounded space. ] FAUST SEEKS SATISFACTION IN HELLENISM 109 of Greek life. It is exactly what we find described in Xenophon's Symposium and assumed in the later lyric and pastoral poetry. In a brief conversation which fol- lows, the difference between Homunculus and Meph- istopheles comes clearly out, — that is, the difference between the Greek and the German disorganizing spirit.
