Though our acquaintance is so recent, For further visits thou hast leave. The window's here, the door is yonder; A chimney, also, you behold. MEPHISTOPHELES. I must confess that forth I may not wander, My steps by one slight obstacle controlled,--- The wizard's-foot, that on your threshold made is. FAUST. The pentagram prohibits thee?
