Dark Etchings
註釋Since Faust sold his soul to the devil, this theme has been popularized--becoming a rather conventional one; appearing, in one form or another. The idea is that getting ownership of your soul in a barter trade it is quite a steal for the Devil. For a single soul, is demonstrably worth more than the whole world.The origin of this theme goes all the way back to Adam and Eve and the talking Serpent in the Garden of Paradise. But the climax of this heinous attempt in human history, only reached its peak in the great hassle, or temptation of Jesus Christ. With characteristic ego but unprecedented bluff, the Devil tried to bamboozle the Son of God, by stoking up grand visions of glory. But in quick defeat, he had to beat a hasty and undignified retreat. In our story, a young man, Ringo, tried his hand to succeed in life but failed miserably. At a time when he was suicidal, he met a dark master in a logging camp--an advocate of the Devil.
