Author's Notes: "Goethe's Emissary" is a Double Dactyl formatted write that I wrote as a tribute to Johann Wolfgang von Goethe and his epic dramatic poem "Faust." Goethe's "Faust" is truly a most wonderful and great dramatic poem in every respect. This medieval legend sees Mephistopheles as the Devil's very emissary in helping to secure Faust's soul for the Devil, while the underlying literary theme emphasizes man's alienation in his own world and how he must approach his reconciliation with the world itself. A most wonderful dramatic poem indeed!! (Gary Bateman - May 19, 2015) (Double Dactyl)
