Hell-Fire Is Sent
All Resolutions
"Help! Fire! Help! Hell-fire is sent!" [...]
"'Tis magic! Strike ... Cut him as you like!"
(Facing p. 62.)
Description:
Flames erupt from the floorboards of an inn, spreading panic among the gathered men. One figure remains seated calmly on a table, watching the commotion with a faint smile.
The caption reads in French:
— Au feu, à l’aide, l’enfer s’allume. […]
— Sorcellerie ! jetez-vous sur lui … Son affaire ne sera pas longue.
English caption source: Faust, trans. by Bayard Taylor (New York: Arden Book Company, n.d.).
