Faustus: Where are you damn’d?
Mephistopheles: In hell.
Faustus: How comes it, then, that thou art out of hell?
Mephistopheles: Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it:

Friar: "Thou hast committed—"
Barabas: "Fornication: but that was in another country,
And besides, the wench is dead."

Me: O Barabas, this always slays me. Kit, your wit—! 8)

Mephistopheles: Why, this is hell, nor am I out of it.
Think'st thou that I, who saw the face of God
And tasted the eternal joys of heaven,
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells
In being deprived of everlasting bliss?

Love Kit's impeccable writing.
"Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscribed
In one self place, for where we are is hell,
And where hell is must we ever be.
And, to conclude, when all the world dissolves,
And every creature shall be purified,
All places shall be hell that is not heaven.”

😈New exclusive material over on the patreon - it's a look at Doctor John Faustus, chapter 28, in which the less than good Doctor is asked a question concerning thunder. 🌩️ And he doesn't do too badly with the early modern science. #BookOfThePlay #Marlowe #KitMarlowe www.patreon.com/posts/doctor...
