Faust: Unraveling the Great Enigma – S2 E6 Before The Library Before We Meet Faust Before entering Faust’s study, before meeting the man who has read everything and yet feels empty, Sarah and I felt the need to pause. Goethe does not begin his great drama with despair. He begins with remembrance. With tenderness. With cosmic perspective. The Dedication and the Prologue in Heaven remind us that before we encounter human struggle, we must first glimpse wonder. http://rebeccasreadingroom.ca/2026/05/19/faust-unraveling-the-great-enigma-s2-e6-before-the-library/
