	As Faust and Mepisto were racing across the country side, on horseback. The black horses that they were riding could be a symbolism for evil, because Mephisto summoned the horses, and black is usually associated with evil. Faust noticed a group of witches gathered around the Ravestone. Faust asks Mephisto what the witches are doing, and Mephisto responds "~~I know not what they shape and brew~~". Faust starts to notice and wonder about the witches actions. Mephisto urges Faust to continue on. Mephisto knows that if he tells Faust to continue going on the journey, he will comply, because Faust always does.		As Faust and Mepisto were racing across the country side, on horseback.

	This short section of the allegorical poem, when Faust and Mephisto gallop through the open country at night, is significant because Faust prefers to take the beaten path on this journey as well, in his ordinary life, instead of a well traveled road. He is also using the idea of nature which many romantics used. The night is symbolic of darkness that is generated from the devil and from the surroundings. Both of these are in reference to the idea of romanticism. "Artists as self-expressive individuals, the ideas of "nature," death's connection to love, night (i.e., subconscious) fears..." (Dopp).
