Faust French pdf by Johann Wolfgang Goethe

Il est certains poèmes qui ont eu de tout temps le privilège, pour ainsi dire exclusif, d'éveiller l'imagination des peintres; tels sont, entre autres et par excellence, l'Iliade et l'Odyssée d'Homère, le Paradis perdu de Milton, le Roland furieux du divin Arioste; on ferait un volume avec la simple énumération des tableaux ou dessins remarquables qu'ils ont inspirés depuis leur apparition jusqu'à nos jours. Parmi les compositions poétiques tout-à-fait modernes, qui, sous ce rapport, méritent de lutter avec celles que nous venons de nommer, le Faust de M. de Goethe doit être mis au premier rang. Ce grand homme a su donner tant de vie aux personnages fantastiques qui abondent dans cette tragédie, qu'on est obligé d'y croire comme à des personnages réels, et de leur prêter une figure, un geste, un accent particulier; on les voit agir, on les entend parler; pour chaque scène nouvelle, le lecteur, involontairement, compose en idée un nouveau tableau.
