The German literary hero Goethe (1749-1832) was 83 years old, and his poem "Faust" was an immortal masterpiece and masterpiece.
As long as it is carried, even if a person lives alone on an isolated island all his life, he will not lack spiritual sustenance.
Faust is Goethe's major masterpiece, the first in 1808 and the second in 1832, taking 60 years to complete it.
Faust thus became a book of philosophical wisdom.
The book is full of meaningful aphorisms and brilliant thoughts. Taken as a whole, it answers almost all the major questions that philosophy is concerned with. Such as the formation of the universe, the origin of all things, the nature of cognition, the meaning of life, and even the future of human development. And so on, Faust's whole play ends with a summative "Mysterious Waka" - (1) All impermanent worlds. (2) Nothing more than an analogy. (3) Lack of regrets in life. (4) Compensation is obtained here. (5) The indescribable realm. (6) Here it becomes a reality.
The most important artistic feature of Faust is the extensive use of symbols, allusions, and metaphors.
Faust
I'm just hurrying into this world,
Grasp any joy and taste it,
Those who are not satisfied immediately throw it away,
If you can't catch it, simply release it.
I only care about pursuit, only care about realization,
And then I long to experience life,
With great mental strength, first rush and do it,
But now he is acting wisely and rigorously.
For the other shore I no longer hope,
Only a fool would stare at the clouds,
Thought there was a kind of person living on it!
The strong should stand on their feet and open their eyes,
The world will not be silent about him,
Why should he travel to the Eternal Realm!
