Goethe - Legend - German Poets
"LEGEND" is a poem written by the German poet Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (1749-1832).
Goethe is considered one of Germany's greatest writers. He is well-known for his world masterpieces such as "Faust" and "Werther", both of which were later turned into well-known operas.

THERE lived in the desert a holy man
To whom a goat-footed Faun one day
Paid a visit, and thus began
To his surprise:
"I entreat thee to pray
That grace to me and my friends may be given,
That we may be able to mount to Heaven,
For great is our thirst for heav'nly bliss."
The holy man made answer to this:
"Much danger is lurking in thy petition,
Nor will it be easy to gain admission;
That is not come with an angel's salute;
For I see thou wearest a cloven foot."
The wild man paused, and then answer'd he:
"What doth my goat's foot matter to thee?
Full many I've known into heaven to pass
Straight and with ease, with the head of an ass!"
