Faustus: Who made thee?
Mephisopheles: God; as the light makes the shadow.
Faustus: Is God, then, evil?
Mephistopheles: God is only light,
And in the heart of light no shadow standeth.
Nor can I dwell within the light of heaven,
Where God is all.
Faustus: What art thou Mephistopheles?
Mephistopheles: I am the price that all things pay for being,
The shadow on the world, thrown by the world
Stnading in its own light, which light God is.
-Dorothy Sayers, The Devil to Pay
