Yet at the very end of Faust II, when Faust dies, he has still not uttered these words.

Having not read the werk in question, I wonder... hasn't Faust in (as RUSH so aptly sung it) choosing not to decide still making a choice? The Devil's sweetness is the loss of Faust's specific definition, as Faust's sweetness is also an intellectual one? Truth=Beauty both subjectively and objectively.

I'm sure this has all been *hashed before, but I'm not sure I want to know where. Tell me if you must, but don't expect me to research!
