Faust ain't Isaiah, but still good.

"Tis written: 'In the Beginning was the Word.'
Here am I balked: Who, now, can help afford?
The Word?--impossible so high to rate it;
And otherwise must I translate it,
If by the spirit I am truly taught.
Then thus: 'In the Beginning was the Thought.'
This first line let me weight completely,
Lest my impatient pen proceed too fleetly.
Is it the Thought which works, creates, indeed?
'In the Beginning was the Power,' I read.
Yet, as I write, a warning is suggested,
That I the sense may not have fairly tested.
The Spirit aids me: now I see the Light!
'In the Beginning was the act,' I write."

--Goethe, Faust

--my interpretation: Ah screw it, it is the Word.

That ain't my style said Casey,
Strike one the umpire said.
