Geist Der Verneint – Spirit Of Negation

Ich bin der Geist der stets verneint!
Und das mit Recht; denn alles was entsteht
Ist werth dass es zu Grunde geht;
Drum besser waer’s dass nichts entstuende.
So ist denn alles was ihr Suende,
Zerstoerung, kurz das Boese nennt,
Mein eigentliches Element.

Faust – Johann Wolfgang von Goethe – Mephistopheles.

I am the spirit that negates.
And rightly so, for all that originates
Is worth only that it desolates;
‘Twere better nothing would begin.
For then all that to you is sin
Destruction, in short as evil meant,
That is my proper element.
