He does not remember the words in the first part of “Faust” where Faust sets out to translate the Bible. There we see how Faust approaches the Bible and wants to replace the correct word “In the beginning was the word” with another: “In the beginning was the deed.” This is what he wants to contribute to the Bible more as a youthful person; that was not Goethe's final opinion. People should stop seeing the whole of Goethe in this. In his youth, Goethe probably cultivated this Promethean point of view, but later he clearly showed how he had progressed beyond it, how he later knew that in addition to the aforementioned deed, in order to develop people healthily, the word, that is to say the reflection of the wisdom imprinted by the world's spirits, must occur. Therefore, in his “Pandora”, Goethe adds from his totality, broadening his youthful point of view:","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"XXXI.

Es sollten aufhören die Menschen, darinnen den ganzen Goethe zu sehen. Goethe hat in der Jugend diesen Prometheus-Standpunkt wohl gepflegt, aber er hat später deutlich gezeigt, wie er darüber hinausgeschritten ist, wie er später wusste, dass zu demjenigen, was vorgedachte Tat ist, um den Menschen gesund zu entwickeln, das Wort, das heißt der Abglanz der von den Weltengeistern der Welt eingeprägten Weisheit, treten muss.
