TRANSLATOR'S NOTE
The rendering of the passages from Faust quoted by Dr. Steiner in the two first chapters of this book has been a
matter of some difficulty. With one exception, indicated in a Footnote on Page 17, the translation by Bayard Taylor
has been used because of its undoubted superiority over other metrical translations. Unfortunately for English
students of Goethe's masterpiece, Mr. Taylor's translation has been long out of print, and I am indebted to Mr.
Stanley Jast, of the Manchester Public Reference Library, for his kindness in putting a copy of this very rare book at
my disposal. The most easily accessible of other metrical translations is that of Miss Anna Swanwick, in Bohn's
Popular Library, published by G. Bell & Sons, Ltd., price 2/4.
A translation of the Fairy Tale of “The Green Snake and the Beautiful Lily” has been added in order that readers
may better be able to follow Dr. Steiner's chapter on the subject.
The whole manuscript has been revised and improved by Mr. H. Collison, who is ever ready to put his unrivalled
knowledge of English translations of Dr. Steiner's works at the disposal of less experienced students.
D. S. OSMOND.
