L'etern no és el nom que Carlyle dóna a l'esperit de la no-creença en Déu, especialment quan es manifesta en la seua pròpia guerra contra ell, o en la de Teufelsdröckh; l'esperit, encarnat en el Mefistòfil de Goethe, sempre nega —der stets verneint— la realitat d'allò diví en els pensaments, el caràcter i la vida de la humanitat, i troba un plaer maliciós a titllar de buit i fals tot allò elevat i noble.
English[en]
The Everlasting No is Carlyle's name for the spirit of unbelief in God, especially as it manifested itself in his own, or rather Teufelsdröckh's, warfare against it; the spirit, which, as embodied in the Mephistopheles of Goethe, is forever denying – der stets verneint – the reality of the divine in the thoughts, the character, and the life of humanity, and has a malicious pleasure in scoffing at everything high and noble as hollow and void.
