Description: Just as the word Idyll of Faust's Part 2 is rooted in the Greek idein/to see, so is Candida in candidatus, as used in the white robed army of martyrs of the Te Deum, as well as Albicare/to be white or Albicore out of the Portuguese (of Arabic origin) designating a kind of tunny (or white tuna): thus, Faust's 3 is white/white as well as (from sugar's white) candy, and fish: it is the modern Walpurgisnacht to Faust, but the day-dream of his Emily: it exists that a woman has, finally, something of her ritual included in the myth of Faust ... and that muthos/mouth become a vision.--S.B.
