About this image

I am part of that power which
would the evil ever do  and ever does the good.
I am the spirit that negates!
And rightly so, for all that comes to be
Deserves to perish wretchedly;
‘Twere better nothing would begin.
Thus everything that that your terms, sin,
Destruction, evil represent
That is my proper element.

"Faust", Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
