  • With Heaven above, and Faith below, I will yet
    stand firm against the devil! cried Goodman
    Brown.
  • My Faith is gone! cried he, after one stupefied
    moment. There is no good on earth and sin is
    but a name. Come, devil! for to thee is this
    world given.
  • In truth, all through the haunted forest, there

    of Goodman Brown

    the communion of your race!
