The open or incomplete pentagram (Goethe; Taylor, tr., Faust: a Tragedy, 1889)

Text: none Quote: MEPHISTOPHELES. Well, we'll consider: thou canst gather My views, when next I venture in. Might I, perhaps, depart at present? FAUST. Why thou shouldst ask, I don't perceive. 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? Why, tell me now, thou Son of Hades, If that prevents, how cam'st thou in to me? Could such a spirit be so cheated? MEPHISTOPHELES. Inspect the thing: the drawing's not completed. The outer angle, you may see, Is open left---the lines don't fit it. Goethe, Johann Wolfgang von; Taylor, Bayard, tr., Faust: a Tragedy , auth. ed., London; New York: Ward, Lock, and Co., 1889, p. 40 . Online Source:   a

Study: Notice the following repeated phrases and words: Daniel 9:5-11 : " We have sinned , and have committed iniquity , and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments :" Daniel 9:5 "Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets , which spake in thy name" " to our kings, our princes, and our fathers , and to all the people of the land."
