- 0:00Speaker 1: Warning bird, tank wing, but not out of the swamp.
- 0:06Speaker 1: They call THEE mind ape thou foaming fool. But I
- 0:10Speaker 1: call THEE my grunting pig. By thy grunting, thou spoilest
- 0:14Speaker 1: even my praise of folly. What was it that first
- 0:19Speaker 1: made thee grunt? Because no one sufficiently flattered thee? Therefore
- 0:24Speaker 1: didst thou seat thyself besides this filth, that thou mightest
- 0:28Speaker 1: have cause for much grunting, thou mightest have much vengeance.
- 0:34Speaker 1: For vengeance thou vain fools, all thy foaming I have
- 0:38Speaker 1: divine THEE well, but fools word injureth me even when
- 0:44Speaker 1: thou art right, And if even Zarathustra's word were a
- 0:48Speaker 1: hundred times justified, thou wouldst never do wrong with my word.
- 0:56Speaker 1: Thus spaite Zarathustra. Then he did look on the great
- 1:00Speaker 1: city inside, and was long silent. At last he spaped
- 1:04Speaker 1: the I loathe also this great city, and not only
- 1:08Speaker 1: this fool. Here and there there is nothing better, nothing
- 1:13Speaker 1: to worsen woe to this great city. And I would
- 1:17Speaker 1: that I already saw the pillar of fire in which
- 1:20Speaker 1: it will be consumed, For such pillars of fire must
- 1:24Speaker 1: precede the great nute tide. But this hath its time
- 1:28Speaker 1: and its own fate. This precept, however, give eye unto thee,
- 1:34Speaker 1: and parting thou fool, where one can go no longer love.
- 1:39Speaker 1: There should one pass by thus spape Zarathustra, and passed
- 1:46Speaker 1: by the fool and the great city. End of Part three,
- 1:52Speaker 1: Chapter fifty.
- 1:53Speaker 2: One, Part three, Chapter fifty two. The Apostates Section one
- 2:07Speaker 2: are lieth everything already withered and gray with but lately
- 2:14Speaker 2: stood green and many hued on this meadow. And how
- 2:19Speaker 2: much honey of hope did I carry hence into my beehives.
- 2:25Speaker 2: Those young hearts have already all become old, and not old,
- 2:30Speaker 2: even only weary, ordinary comfortable, they declare it, we have
- 2:38Speaker 2: again become pious of late. Did I see them run
- 2:44Speaker 2: forth at early morn with valorous steps? But the feet
- 2:48Speaker 2: of their knowledge became weary? And now do they malign
- 2:54Speaker 2: even their morning valor. Verily, many of them once lived
- 3:00Speaker 2: their legs like the dancer to them winked the laughter
- 3:04Speaker 2: of my wisdom. Then did they bethink themselves? Just now
- 3:11Speaker 2: I have seen them bent down to creep to the
- 3:15Speaker 2: cross around light and liberty. Did they once flutter like
- 3:22Speaker 2: gnats and young poets, a little older, a little colder,
- 3:29Speaker 2: And already are they mystifiers and mumblers and molly coddles.
- 3:36Speaker 2: Did perhaps their hearts despond because lonesomeness had swallowed me
- 3:42Speaker 2: like a whale? Did their ear perhaps hearken yearningly long
- 3:48Speaker 2: for me in vain, and for my trumpet notes and
- 3:52Speaker 2: herald calls. Ah Ever, are there but few of those
- 3:58Speaker 2: whose hearts have persistent courage and exuberance, and in such
- 4:04Speaker 2: remainance also the spirit patient. The rest, however, are cowardly.
- 4:12Speaker 2: The rest these are always the great majority, the commonplace,
- 4:19Speaker 2: the superfluous, the far too many, those all are cowardly.
- 4:27Speaker 2: Him who is of my type will also the experiences
- 4:32Speaker 2: of my type meet on the way, so that his
- 4:35Speaker 2: first companions must be corpses and buffoons. His second companions, however,
- 4:43Speaker 2: they will call themselves His believers, will be a living host,
- 4:49Speaker 2: with much love, much folly, much unbearded veneration to those believers.
- 4:58Speaker 2: Shall he who is of my type, deep among men
- 5:02Speaker 2: not bind his heart in those spring times and many
- 5:07Speaker 2: hued meadows? Shall he not believe? Who knoweth the thickly,
- 5:12Speaker 2: faint hearted human species? Could they do otherwise than would
- 5:18Speaker 2: they also will otherwise the half and half spoil every
- 5:24Speaker 2: whole that leaves become withered. What is there to lament
- 5:30Speaker 2: about that? Let them go and fall away, o Zarathustra,
- 5:36Speaker 2: And do not lament better even to blow amongst them
- 5:41Speaker 2: with rustling winds, blow among those leaves, O Zarathustra, that
- 5:47Speaker 2: everything withered may run away from thee the faster. Section two.
- 5:56Speaker 2: We have again become pious. So those apostles confess, And
- 6:03Speaker 2: some of them are still too pusillanimous. Thus to confess
- 6:08Speaker 2: unto them, I look into the eye before them, I
- 6:13Speaker 2: say it, unto their face, and unto the blush on
- 6:17Speaker 2: their cheeks. Ye are those who again pray. It is, however,
- 6:24Speaker 2: a shame to pray not for all, but for THEE
- 6:29Speaker 2: and me, and whoever hath his conscience in his head.
- 6:35Speaker 2: For THEE, it is a shame to pray. Thou knowest
- 6:40Speaker 2: it well. The faint hearted devil in THEE, which would fain,
- 6:46Speaker 2: fold its arms and place its hands in its bosom,
- 6:51Speaker 2: and take it easier. This faint hearted devil persuadeth THEE
- 6:57Speaker 2: that there is a god. Thereby, however, dost thou belong
- 7:03Speaker 2: to the light dreading type, to whom light never permitteth repose.
- 7:10Speaker 2: Now must thou daily thrust thy head deeper into obscurity
- 7:14Speaker 2: and vapor, and verily thou choosest the hour?
- 7:20Speaker 3: Well?
- 7:21Speaker 2: For just now do the nocturnal birds again fly abroad?
- 7:25Speaker 2: The hour hath come for all light dreading people, the
- 7:30Speaker 2: vesper hour and leisure hour. When they do not take leisure.
- 7:37Speaker 2: I hear it and smell it. It hath come the
- 7:42Speaker 2: hour for hunt and procession, not indeed for a wild hunt,
- 7:48Speaker 2: but for a tame, lame snuffling soft treaders, soft prayers,
- 7:56Speaker 2: hunt for a hunt after suscept simpletons. All mouse traps
- 8:03Speaker 2: for the hut have again been set. And whenever I
- 8:08Speaker 2: lift a curtain, a night moth rusheth out of it?
- 8:13Speaker 2: Did it perhaps squatter along with another night moth? For
- 8:18Speaker 2: everywhere do I smell small concealed communities, And wherever there
- 8:24Speaker 2: are closets, there are new devotees therein and the atmosphere
- 8:30Speaker 2: of devotees. They sit for long evenings beside one another,
- 8:37Speaker 2: and say, let us again become like little children, and
- 8:42Speaker 2: say good God. Ruined in mouths and stomachs by the
- 8:48Speaker 2: pious confectioners. Or they look for long evenings at the
- 8:53Speaker 2: crafty lurking cross spider, that preacheth prudence to the spiders themselves,
- 9:01Speaker 2: and teacheth that under crosses it is good for cobwebs spinning.
- 9:08Speaker 2: Or they sit all day at swamps with angle rods,
- 9:13Speaker 2: and on that account think themselves profound. But whoever fishes
- 9:19Speaker 2: where there are no fish, I do not even call
- 9:23Speaker 2: him superficial. Or they learn in godly gay style to
- 9:29Speaker 2: play the hop with a hymned poet who would fain
- 9:33Speaker 2: harp himself into the heart of young girls, for he
- 9:37Speaker 2: had tired of old girls and their praises. Or they
- 9:42Speaker 2: learn to shudder with the learned semi madcap, who waiteth
- 9:47Speaker 2: in darkened rooms for spirits to come to him, and
- 9:52Speaker 2: the spirit runneth away entirely. Or they listen to an
- 9:58Speaker 2: old roving howl and growled piper, who hath learnt from
- 10:04Speaker 2: the sad winds the sadness of sounds. Now pipeth he
- 10:09Speaker 2: has the wind, and preacheth sadness in sad strains. And
- 10:16Speaker 2: some of them have even become night watchmen. They know
- 10:21Speaker 2: now how to blow horns and go about that night,
- 10:26Speaker 2: and awaken old things which have long fallen asleep. Five
- 10:32Speaker 2: words about old things did I hear yester night at
- 10:36Speaker 2: the garden wall. They came from such old, sorrowful barried
- 10:42Speaker 2: night watchmen. For a father, he careth not sufficiently for
- 10:47Speaker 2: his children. Human fathers do this better. He is too old.
- 10:54Speaker 2: He now careth no more for his children, answered the
- 10:57Speaker 2: other night watchmen, hath he children. No one can prove
- 11:03Speaker 2: it unless he himself prove it. I have long wished
- 11:07Speaker 2: that he would for once prove it, thoroughly, prove, as
- 11:12Speaker 2: if he had ever proved anything. Proving is difficult to him.
- 11:17Speaker 2: He layeth great stress on one's believing him. A yea belief,
- 11:22Speaker 2: saveth him, believe in him. That is the way with
- 11:27Speaker 2: old people, so it is with us. Also. Thus speak
- 11:34Speaker 2: to each other the two old night watchmen and light scarers,
- 11:40Speaker 2: and tooted thereupon sorrowfully on their horns. So did it
- 11:44Speaker 2: happen yester night at the garden wall.
- 11:48Speaker 4: To me?
- 11:49Speaker 2: However, did the heart write with laughter, and was like
- 11:54Speaker 2: to break. I knew not where to go, and sunk
- 11:59Speaker 2: into the midriff. Verily it will be my death yet
- 12:05Speaker 2: to choke with laughter when I see asses drunken and
- 12:09Speaker 2: hear night watchmen. Thus doubt about God? Hath the time
- 12:14Speaker 2: not long since passed for all such doubts who may
- 12:19Speaker 2: nowadays awaken such old slumbering light shunning things with the
- 12:26Speaker 2: old deities? Hath it long since come to an end?
- 12:32Speaker 2: And verily a good joyful deity end had they? They
- 12:38Speaker 2: did not begloom themselves to death, that do people fabricate.
- 12:45Speaker 2: On the contrary, they laughed themselves to death once on
- 12:51Speaker 2: a time that took place when the ungodliest utterance came
- 12:57Speaker 2: from a god himself the utter and there is but
- 13:02Speaker 2: one God, Thou shalt have no other gods before me,
- 13:07Speaker 2: an old grim beard of a god, a jealous one,
- 13:12Speaker 2: forgot himself in such wise. And all the gods then
- 13:17Speaker 2: laughed and shook upon their thrones and exclaimed, is it
- 13:22Speaker 2: not just divinity that there are gods? But no god?
- 13:28Speaker 2: He that hath an ear let him? Hear? Thus talked
- 13:33Speaker 2: Zarathustra in the city he loved, which he surnamed the
- 13:38Speaker 2: Pied Cow, for from here he had but two days
- 13:42Speaker 2: to travel to reach once more his cave and his animals.
- 13:48Speaker 2: His soul, however, rejoiced unceasingly on account of the knightness
- 13:56Speaker 2: of his return home. End of Part tree, Section fifty two,
- 14:12Speaker 2: Part three, Chapter fifty two, The return Home, O lonesomeness,
- 14:23Speaker 2: My home, lonesomeness. Too long have I lived wildly in
- 14:28Speaker 2: wild remoteness to return to THEE without tears? Now threaten
- 14:36Speaker 2: me with the finger as mothers threaten. Now smile upon me,
- 14:41Speaker 2: as mothers smile. Now say just who was it that,
- 14:49Speaker 2: like a whirlwind once rushed away from me? Who, when departing,
- 14:55Speaker 2: called out, too long have I sat with lonesomeness?
- 15:00Speaker 3: There?
- 15:00Speaker 2: Have I unlearned silence that hast thou learned? Now? Surely,
- 15:07Speaker 2: O Zarathustra, everything do I know? And that thou vert
- 15:12Speaker 2: more forsaken amongst than many, thou unique one, than thou
- 15:19Speaker 2: ever vertst with me. One thing is forsakenness. Another matter
- 15:29Speaker 2: is lonesomeness that hast thou now learned, And that amongst
- 15:37Speaker 2: men thou wilt ever be wild and strange, wild and strange,
- 15:44Speaker 2: even when they love THEE, for above all they want
- 15:48Speaker 2: to be treated indulgently. Here, however, art thou at home
- 15:56Speaker 2: and house with thyself? Here canst thou utter everything and
- 16:02Speaker 2: unbosom all motives? Nothing is here? Ashamed of concealed congealed feelings.
- 16:11Speaker 2: Here do all things come caressingly to thy talk and
- 16:16Speaker 2: flatter thee, for they want to ride upon thy back
- 16:22Speaker 2: on every smile. Dost thou here ride to every truth
- 16:28Speaker 2: uprightly and openly? Mayest thou here talk to all things?
- 16:35Speaker 2: And verily it soundetht as praise in their ears, for
- 16:40Speaker 2: one to talk to all things directly. Another matter, however,
- 16:46Speaker 2: is forsakenness. For dost thou remember O Zarathustra, when thy
- 16:54Speaker 2: bird screamed overhead, when thou stoodest in the forest, he resolute,
- 17:01Speaker 2: ignorant where to go beside the corpse? When thou speakest,
- 17:07Speaker 2: let mine animals lead me? More dangerous? Have I found
- 17:12Speaker 2: it among men than among animals? That was forsakenness? And
- 17:19Speaker 2: dost thou remember O Zarathustra, when thou sattest in thine
- 17:24Speaker 2: isle a well of wine, giving and granting amongst empty buckets,
- 17:32Speaker 2: bestowing and disturbing amongst the thirsty, until at last thou
- 17:40Speaker 2: alone sattest, thirsty among the drunken ones, and wailst nightly.
- 17:48Speaker 2: Is taking not more blessed than giving, and stealing, yet
- 17:53Speaker 2: more blessed than taking? That was forsakenness. And thus thou remember,
- 18:01Speaker 2: o Zarathustra, when thy silly hour came and drove THEE
- 18:05Speaker 2: forth from thyself, when with wicked whispering it said, speak
- 18:12Speaker 2: and succumb, when it disgusted thee with all thy waiting
- 18:17Speaker 2: and silence, and discouraged thy humble courage, That was forsakenness.
- 18:26Speaker 2: Oh lonesomeness, my home lonesomeness, how blessed and tenderly speaketh
- 18:35Speaker 2: thy voice unto me. We do not question each other,
- 18:40Speaker 2: we do not complain to each other. We go together
- 18:44Speaker 2: openly through open doors. For all is open with thee
- 18:49Speaker 2: and clear. And even the hours run here on lighter feet,
- 18:56Speaker 2: For in the dark time waited upon one than in
- 19:02Speaker 2: the light. Here fly open unto me, all being's words
- 19:10Speaker 2: and word cabinets here, all being wanted to become words, here,
- 19:19Speaker 2: all becoming wanteth to learn of me how to talk
- 19:25Speaker 2: down there. However, all talking is in vain there, forgetting
- 19:33Speaker 2: and passing by are the best wisdom that have I learned. Now,
- 19:40Speaker 2: he who would understand everything in man must handle everything.
- 19:45Speaker 2: But for that I have two clean hands. I do
- 19:51Speaker 2: not like even to inhale their breath, alas that I
- 19:57Speaker 2: have lived so long among their nose and bad breaths.
- 20:03Speaker 2: Oh blessed stillness around me, Oh pure odors around me.
- 20:11Speaker 2: How from a deep breast this stillness fetcheth pure breath.
- 20:17Speaker 2: How it hearkeness, this blessed stillness. But down there there
- 20:24Speaker 2: speaketh everything, there is everything misheard. If one announce one's
- 20:32Speaker 2: wisdom with bells, the shopmen in the market place will
- 20:36Speaker 2: out jingle it with pennies. Everything among them talketh. No
- 20:43Speaker 2: one knoweth any longer how to understand. Everything folleth into
- 20:48Speaker 2: the water. Nothing foleth any longer into deep wealth. Everything
- 20:55Speaker 2: among them talketh. Nothing succeedeth any longer, and accomplished itself.
- 21:03Speaker 2: Everything crackled. But who will still sit quietly on the
- 21:08Speaker 2: nest and hatch eggs. Everything among them talketh. Everything is
- 21:15Speaker 2: out talked, And that which yesterday was still too hard
- 21:19Speaker 2: for time itself and its tooth hangeth to day out
- 21:24Speaker 2: champed and out chewed from the mouths of the men
- 21:28Speaker 2: of to day. Everything among them talketh. Everything is betrayed,
- 21:35Speaker 2: And what was once called the secret and secrecy of
- 21:39Speaker 2: profound souls belongeth to day to the street trumpeters and
- 21:45Speaker 2: other butterflies, O human hubbub, thou wonderful thing, thou noise
- 21:55Speaker 2: in dark streets. Now art thou again behind me? My
- 22:02Speaker 2: greatest danger lieth behind me in indulging and pitying. Lay ever,
- 22:09Speaker 2: my greatest danger in all human hubbub wishest to be
- 22:14Speaker 2: indulged and tolerated with suppressed truths, with false hand and
- 22:21Speaker 2: befalled heart, and which in petty lies of pity. Thus
- 22:26Speaker 2: have I ever lived among men, disguised that I sit
- 22:31Speaker 2: amongst them, ready to misjudge myself, that I might endure them,
- 22:37Speaker 2: and willingly saying to myself, thou fool, thou dost not
- 22:43Speaker 2: know them? One unlearneth men? When one liveth amongst them.
- 22:53Speaker 2: There is too much foreground in all men. What can
- 22:57Speaker 2: far seeing far along eyes do there? And for that
- 23:04Speaker 2: I was when they misjudged me. I indulged them on
- 23:09Speaker 2: that account more than myself, being habitually hard on myself,
- 23:16Speaker 2: and often even taking revenge on myself for the indulgence.
- 23:22Speaker 2: Stung all over by poisonous flies, and hollowed like the
- 23:27Speaker 2: stone by many drops of wickedness. Thus did I sit
- 23:33Speaker 2: among them, and still said to myself, innocent is everything
- 23:39Speaker 2: petty of its pettiness. Especially, did I find those who
- 23:45Speaker 2: call themselves the good the most poisonous flies? They sting
- 23:53Speaker 2: in all innocence, they lie in all innocence. How could
- 23:59Speaker 2: they be just toward me? He who liveth amongst the good,
- 24:08Speaker 2: pity teacheth him to lie. Pity maketh stifling air for
- 24:15Speaker 2: all free souls. For the stupidity of the good is
- 24:19Speaker 2: unfathomable to conceal myself and my riches. That did I
- 24:27Speaker 2: learn down there? For every one did I still find
- 24:31Speaker 2: poor in spirit? It was the lie of my pity
- 24:36Speaker 2: that I knew in every one that I saw and
- 24:41Speaker 2: scented in every one what was enough of spirit for him?
- 24:47Speaker 2: And what was too much? Their stiff wise men, I
- 24:54Speaker 2: call them wise, not stiff. Thus did I learn to
- 24:58Speaker 2: slur over words? The grave diggers dig for themselves diseases,
- 25:06Speaker 2: under old rubbish, rest bad vapors. One should not stir
- 25:11Speaker 2: up the marsh. One should live on mountains with blessed nostrils.
- 25:19Speaker 2: Do I again breeze mountain? Freedom? Free at last is
- 25:24Speaker 2: my nose from the smell of all human hubbub, with
- 25:28Speaker 2: the sharp breezes, tickled as with sparkling wine, sneezeth my
- 25:34Speaker 2: soul sneezeth, and shelteth self congratulatingly helt to they. Thus
- 25:44Speaker 2: spake Zarathustra, and of Parch three, Chapter fifty three, Part three,
- 25:57Speaker 2: Chapter fifty four, The Three Evil Things, Part one in
- 26:06Speaker 2: my dream, in my last morning dream, I stood to
- 26:11Speaker 2: day on a promontory beyond the world. I hailed a
- 26:16Speaker 2: pair of scales, and weighed the world. Alas that the
- 26:23Speaker 2: rosy dawn came too early to me. She glowed me awake,
- 26:28Speaker 2: the jealous one jealous is she always of the glows
- 26:33Speaker 2: of my morning dream, measurable by him who hath time,
- 26:39Speaker 2: weighable by a good wayer attainable by strong pinions, divinable
- 26:46Speaker 2: by divine nutcrackers. Thus did my dream find the world?
- 26:52Speaker 2: My dream a bold sailor, half ship, half hurricane, silent
- 26:59Speaker 2: is the butt of fly, impatient as the falcon. How
- 27:04Speaker 2: had it the patience and leisure to day for world weighing?
- 27:09Speaker 2: Did my wisdom perhaps speak secretly to it, my laughing,
- 27:15Speaker 2: wide awake day wisdom, which mocketh all the infinite worlds,
- 27:21Speaker 2: For it saith where forces there becometh number, the master
- 27:27Speaker 2: it hath more force. How confidently did my dream contemplate
- 27:33Speaker 2: this finite world, not new fangledly, not old fangledly, not timidly,
- 27:43Speaker 2: not entreatingly, as if a big, round apple presented itself
- 27:49Speaker 2: to my hand, a ripe golden apple with a cooly, soft,
- 27:54Speaker 2: velvety skin. Thus did the world present itself unto me,
- 28:01Speaker 2: as if a tree nodded unto me, a broad branched,
- 28:05Speaker 2: strong willed tree, curved as a recline and a footstool
- 28:11Speaker 2: for weary travelers. Thus did the world stand on my promontory,
- 28:18Speaker 2: as if delicate hands carried a casket towards me, a
- 28:23Speaker 2: casket open for the delectation of modest, adoring eyes. Thus
- 28:30Speaker 2: did the world present itself before me to day, not
- 28:35Speaker 2: riddle enough to scare human love from it, not solution
- 28:41Speaker 2: enough to put to sleep human wisdom. A humanly good
- 28:46Speaker 2: thing was the world to me to day, of which
- 28:50Speaker 2: such bad things are said? How I thank my mourning
- 28:55Speaker 2: dream that I thus, at two days dawn weighed the
- 28:59Speaker 2: world word as a humanly good thing? Did it come
- 29:03Speaker 2: unto me this dream and heart comforter, and that I
- 29:09Speaker 2: may do the like by day and imitate and copy
- 29:13Speaker 2: its best? Now will I put the three worse things
- 29:18Speaker 2: on the scales and weigh them humanly well. He who
- 29:24Speaker 2: taught to bless taught also to curse. What all the
- 29:29Speaker 2: three best cursed things in the world, These will I
- 29:34Speaker 2: put on the scales. Voluptuousness, passion for power, and selfishness.
- 29:43Speaker 2: These three things have hitherto been best cursed, and have
- 29:48Speaker 2: been in worst and forces repute. These three things will
- 29:53Speaker 2: I weigh humanly well. Well, Here is my promontory, and
- 29:59Speaker 2: there is the sea. It rolleth hither unto me, shaggily
- 30:06Speaker 2: and fawningly, the old, faithful, hundred headed dog monster that
- 30:13Speaker 2: I love. Well, Here will I hold the scales over
- 30:18Speaker 2: the weltering sea, and also a witness? Do I choose
- 30:23Speaker 2: to look on thee the anchorite tree, thee, the strong, odored,
- 30:32Speaker 2: broad arched tree that I love?
- 30:36Speaker 3: On?
- 30:36Speaker 2: What bridge goeth the now to the hereafter? By what
- 30:42Speaker 2: constraint doth the high stoop to the low? And what
- 30:47Speaker 2: enjoineth even the highest still to grow upwards? Now stand
- 30:54Speaker 2: the scales, poised and at rest. Three heavy questions have
- 30:59Speaker 2: I thrown in? Three heavy answers carrieth the other scale.
- 31:08Speaker 3: Part two.
- 31:11Speaker 2: Volupciousness unto all hair shirted despises of the body, a
- 31:18Speaker 2: sting and stake, and cursed as the world by all backwardsmen,
- 31:26Speaker 2: for it mocketh and befals, all earring, misinfering teachers. Volupciousness
- 31:35Speaker 2: to the rabble, the slow fire at which it is burnt,
- 31:39Speaker 2: to all wormy wood, to all stinking rags, the prepareds
- 31:45Speaker 2: heat and stew furnace. Volupciousness to free hearts, a thing
- 31:52Speaker 2: innocent and free, the garden happiness of the earth, all
- 31:58Speaker 2: the future's thanks overflow to the present. Volupciousness only to
- 32:06Speaker 2: the withered, and sweet poison to the lion willed, however,
- 32:12Speaker 2: the great cordial and the reverently saved wine of wines.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Volupciousness the great symbolic happiness of a higher happiness and
- 32:25Speaker 2: highest hope. For to many is marriage promised, and more
- 32:31Speaker 2: than marriage. To many that are more unknown to each
- 32:36Speaker 2: other than man and woman, and who hath fully understood
- 32:42Speaker 2: how unknown to each other are man and woman. Volupciousness.
- 32:50Speaker 2: But I will have hedges around my thoughts and even
- 32:54Speaker 2: around my words, lest swine and libertine should break into
- 32:59Speaker 2: my guardens. Passion for power, the glowing scourge of the
- 33:05Speaker 2: hardest of the heart heart, the cruel torture reserved for
- 33:11Speaker 2: the cruel lest themselves, The gloomy flame of living pious
- 33:17Speaker 2: passion for power, the wicked gadfly, which is mounted on
- 33:22Speaker 2: the vainest peoples, the corner of all, on certain virtue,
- 33:27Speaker 2: which rideth on every horse and on every pride. Passion
- 33:32Speaker 2: for power, the earthquake, which breaketh and upbreaketh all that
- 33:38Speaker 2: is rotten and hollow, The rolling, rumbling, punitive demolisher of
- 33:45Speaker 2: whited sepulchers, The flashing interrogative sun behind primature answers, passion
- 33:54Speaker 2: for power, before whose glance man creepeth and croucheth, and drudgeth,
- 34:01Speaker 2: and becometh lower than the serpent and the swine, until
- 34:06Speaker 2: at last great contempt cried out of him Passion for power,
- 34:14Speaker 2: the terrible teacher of great contempt, which preacheth to their faith,
- 34:19Speaker 2: to cities, and empires away with thee until a boys
- 34:24Speaker 2: crieth out of themselves, away with me. Passion for power,
- 34:32Speaker 2: which however mounteth alluringly even to the pure and lonesome,
- 34:39Speaker 2: and up to self satisfied elevations, glowing like a love
- 34:45Speaker 2: that painteth purple, felicities alluring on earthly heavens passion for power?
- 34:54Speaker 2: But who would call it passion when the height longeth
- 34:58Speaker 2: to stoop for power? Verily, nothing sick or diseased is
- 35:04Speaker 2: there in such longing and descending that the lonesome height
- 35:10Speaker 2: may not forever remain lonesome and self sufficing, that the
- 35:16Speaker 2: mountains may come to the valleys, and the winds of
- 35:19Speaker 2: the heights to the plains. Oh, who could find the
- 35:24Speaker 2: right prenemine an honoring name for such longing, bestowing virtue?
- 35:31Speaker 2: Thus the Zarathustra one's name, the unnameable. And then it
- 35:38Speaker 2: happened also, and verily it happened for the first time,
- 35:43Speaker 2: that his word blessed selfishness, the wholesome, healthy selfishness that
- 35:50Speaker 2: springeth from the powerful soul, from the powerful soul to
- 35:56Speaker 2: which the high body appertaineth. The handsome, triumphing, refreshing body
- 36:04Speaker 2: around which everything becometh a mirror, the pliant, persuasive body,
- 36:11Speaker 2: the dancer, whose symbol and epitome is the self enjoying soul.
- 36:18Speaker 2: Of such bodies and souls, the self enjoyment calls itself
- 36:24Speaker 2: virtue with its words of good and bad. Doth such
- 36:30Speaker 2: self enjoyment shelter itself, as with sacred groves, with the
- 36:37Speaker 2: names of its happiness. Doth it banish from itself everything contemptible?
- 36:44Speaker 2: Away from itself, doth it banish everything cowardly it says bad,
- 36:51Speaker 2: that is cowardly, contemptible seem to it, the ever solicitous,
- 36:58Speaker 2: the sighing, the plaining, and whoever pick up the most
- 37:02Speaker 2: trifling advantage it despiseth also all bittersweet wisdom, For verily
- 37:11Speaker 2: there is also wisdom that bloometh in the dark, a
- 37:15Speaker 2: night shade, wisdom which ever sigheth all is vain.
- 37:23Speaker 3: Shy.
- 37:23Speaker 2: Distrust is regarded by it as a base. And every
- 37:28Speaker 2: one who wanteth oaths instead of looks and hand also
- 37:34Speaker 2: all over distrustful wisdom, for such is the mode of
- 37:39Speaker 2: cowardly souls. Baser Still it regardeth the obsequious, doggish one
- 37:47Speaker 2: who immediately lieth on his back, the submissive one. And
- 37:52Speaker 2: there is also wisdom in that submissive and doggish, and
- 37:56Speaker 2: pious and obsequious, hateful to it altogether. And the loathing
- 38:04Speaker 2: is he who will never defend himself, he who swalloweth
- 38:09Speaker 2: down poisonous spittle and bad looks, the all too patient one,
- 38:15Speaker 2: the all endure, the all satisfied one, For that is
- 38:21Speaker 2: the mode of slaves, whether they be servile before gods
- 38:27Speaker 2: and divine spurnings, or before men and stupid human opinions,
- 38:33Speaker 2: at all kinds of slaves, doth it spit this blessed
- 38:38Speaker 2: selfishness bad? Thus doth it call all that its spirit
- 38:44Speaker 2: broke in and sordidly servile, constrained blinking eyes, depressed hearts,
- 38:53Speaker 2: and the false submissive style which kisseth with broad, cowardly
- 38:58Speaker 2: lips and spurious wisdom. So does it call all the
- 39:04Speaker 2: wit that slaves and hoary headed and weary one's effect,
- 39:10Speaker 2: and especially all the cunning, spurious witted, curious witted foolishness
- 39:16Speaker 2: of priests the spurious wise. However, all the priests, the
- 39:23Speaker 2: world weary, and those whose souls are of feminine and
- 39:28Speaker 2: servile nature, Oh, how hath their game all along abused selfishness,
- 39:36Speaker 2: and precisely that was to be virtue, and was to
- 39:43Speaker 2: be called virtue, to abuse selfishness and selfless. So did
- 39:50Speaker 2: they wish themselves with good reason, all those world weary
- 39:55Speaker 2: cowards and cross bitters. But to all the cometh now
- 40:01Speaker 2: the day the change the sword of judgment the Great Noontide.
- 40:09Speaker 2: Then shall many things be revealed. And he who proclaimed
- 40:14Speaker 2: the ego wholesome and holy and selfishness blessed Rarely He
- 40:21Speaker 2: the prognosticator speaketh also what he knoweth. Behold it cometh,
- 40:28Speaker 2: It is nigh the Great Noontide. Thus spake Zarathustra. End
- 40:40Speaker 2: of Part three, Chapter fifty four, Part.
- 40:52Speaker 5: Three, Chapter fifty five, The Spirit of Gravity. One. My
- 41:01Speaker 5: mouthpiece is of the people. Too coarsely and cordially do
- 41:05Speaker 5: I talk for angora rabbits, and still stranger soundeth my
- 41:09Speaker 5: words unto all inkfish and pen foxes. My hand is
- 41:15Speaker 5: a fool's hand, woe un too, all tables and walls
- 41:20Speaker 5: and whatever hath room for a fool's sketching fool's scrawling.
- 41:25Speaker 5: My foot is a horse foot. Therewith do I trample
- 41:30Speaker 5: and trot over stick and stone in the fields, up
- 41:33Speaker 5: and down, and am bedeviled with a delight in all
- 41:36Speaker 5: fast racing. My stomach is surely an eagle's stomach, for
- 41:42Speaker 5: it preferreth lamb's flesh. Certainly it is a bird's stomach,
- 41:47Speaker 5: nourished with innocent things, and with few, ready and impatient
- 41:52Speaker 5: to fly away. Now that is my nature? Why should
- 41:56Speaker 5: there not be something of bird nature therein? And especially
- 42:00Speaker 5: that I'm hostile to the spirit of gravity, that is
- 42:05Speaker 5: bird nature, verily deadly hostile, supremely hostile, originally hostile. Oh,
- 42:13Speaker 5: whither hath my hostility not flown and misflown? Thereof? Could
- 42:17Speaker 5: I sing a song? And will sing it, though I
- 42:20Speaker 5: be alone in an empty house, and must sing it
- 42:23Speaker 5: to my own ears? Other singers there are to be sure,
- 42:28Speaker 5: to whom only the full house maketh a voice soft,
- 42:31Speaker 5: the hand eloquent, the eye expressive, the heart wakeful. Those
- 42:35Speaker 5: do I not resemble. Two. He who one day teacheth
- 42:42Speaker 5: men to fly, will have shifted all landmarks to him.
- 42:46Speaker 5: Will all landmarks themselves fly into the air the earth?
- 42:50Speaker 5: Will he christen anew as the light body the ostrich
- 42:56Speaker 5: runneth faster than the fastest horse. But it also so
- 43:00Speaker 5: thrusts its head heavily into the heavy earth. That thus
- 43:04Speaker 5: it is with men who cannot yet fly. Heavy unto
- 43:09Speaker 5: him are earth and life, And so willeth the spirit
- 43:12Speaker 5: of gravity. But he who had become light and be
- 43:16Speaker 5: a bird must love himself. Thus do I teach not
- 43:22Speaker 5: to be sure? With the love of the sick and infected,
- 43:26Speaker 5: for with them stinketh even self love. One must learn
- 43:30Speaker 5: to love oneself. Thus do I teach with a wholesome
- 43:34Speaker 5: and healthy love, that one may endure to be with oneself,
- 43:39Speaker 5: and not go roving about such roving about Christen itself.
- 43:44Speaker 5: Brotherly love. With these words hath there hitherto been the
- 43:49Speaker 5: best lying and dissembling, and especially by those who have
- 43:53Speaker 5: become burdensome to everyone. And verily, it is no commandment
- 43:59Speaker 5: for today and tomorrow sorrow to learn to love oneself. Rather,
- 44:04Speaker 5: it is of all arts, the finest, subtlest, last, and
- 44:08Speaker 5: most patient, For to its possessor is all possessions well concealed,
- 44:16Speaker 5: and of all treasure pits, one's own is last excavated.
- 44:20Speaker 5: So causeth the spirit of gravity. Almost in the cradle
- 44:25Speaker 5: we are apportioned with heavy words and worths, good and evil.
- 44:31Speaker 5: So calleth itself this dowry. For the sake of it
- 44:35Speaker 5: we are forgiven for living. And therefore suffereth one little
- 44:39Speaker 5: children to come unto one, to forbid them betimes to
- 44:43Speaker 5: love themselves. So causeth the spirit of gravity, And we
- 44:50Speaker 5: we bear loyally what is apportioned unto us on hard
- 44:53Speaker 5: shoulders over rugged mountains. And when we sweat, then do
- 44:58Speaker 5: people say to us, yea life is hard to bear,
- 45:03Speaker 5: But man himself only is hard to bear. The reason
- 45:07Speaker 5: thereof is that he carrieth too many extraneous things on
- 45:12Speaker 5: his shoulders. Like the camel kneeleth he down and letteth
- 45:16Speaker 5: himself be well laden, Especially the strong load bearing man,
- 45:22Speaker 5: in whom reverence resideth too many extraneous heavy words and
- 45:28Speaker 5: worths loaded he upon himself then seemeth life to him
- 45:33Speaker 5: a desert. And verily many a thing also that is
- 45:38Speaker 5: our own, is hard to bear. And many internal things
- 45:43Speaker 5: in man are like the oyster, repulsive and slippery and
- 45:48Speaker 5: hard to grasp. And so an elegant shell with elegant
- 45:53Speaker 5: adornment must plead for them. But this art also one
- 45:57Speaker 5: must learn to have a shed well, and a fine appearance,
- 46:02Speaker 5: and a sagacious blindness. Again, it deceiveth about many things
- 46:07Speaker 5: in men, that many a shell is poor and pitiable,
- 46:12Speaker 5: and too much of a shell many concealeth goodness and
- 46:16Speaker 5: power is never dreamed of. The choicest dainties find no tasters.
- 46:22Speaker 5: Women know that the choicest of them, a little fatter,
- 46:25Speaker 5: a little leaner. Oh, how much fate is in so
- 46:29Speaker 5: little man is difficult to discover, and unto himself, most
- 46:34Speaker 5: difficult of all, often lieth the spirit concerning the soul.
- 46:39Speaker 5: So causeth the spirit of gravity. He, however, hath discovered himself,
- 46:45Speaker 5: who saith this is my good and evil therewith hath
- 46:49Speaker 5: he silenced, the mole and the dwarf, who saith good
- 46:53Speaker 5: for all evil for all. Verily, neither do I like
- 46:57Speaker 5: those who call everything good, and this world the best
- 47:01Speaker 5: of all? Those? Do I call the all satisfied, all satisfiedness,
- 47:06Speaker 5: which knoweth how to taste everything that is not the
- 47:10Speaker 5: best taste. I honor the refractory, fastidious tongues and stomachs,
- 47:16Speaker 5: which hath learnt to say I, and yea, and nay,
- 47:21Speaker 5: to cheweth and digest everything however that is genuine swine nature.
- 47:27Speaker 5: Ever to say, yea, that hath only the ass learnt,
- 47:32Speaker 5: and those like it deep yellow and hot red, So
- 47:37Speaker 5: wanteth my taste. It mixeth blood with all colors. He, however,
- 47:44Speaker 5: who whitewasheth his house, betrayeth unto me a whitewashed soul
- 47:51Speaker 5: with mummies, some fall in love others with phantoms, both
- 47:56Speaker 5: alike hostile to all flesh and blood, Oh, pugnant are
- 48:00Speaker 5: both to my taste, For I love blood, and there
- 48:06Speaker 5: will not I reside and abide where everyone spitteth and speweth.
- 48:12Speaker 5: That is now my taste. Rather, I would live among
- 48:16Speaker 5: the thieves and perjurers. Nobody carrieth gold in his mouth,
- 48:22Speaker 5: still more repugnant to me, however, or all lick spittles
- 48:27Speaker 5: and the most repugnant animal of man that I have found,
- 48:31Speaker 5: did I christen parasite? It would not love, and would
- 48:37Speaker 5: yet live by love? Unhappily? Do I call all those
- 48:42Speaker 5: who have only one choice, either to become evil beasts
- 48:47Speaker 5: or evil beast tamers? Among such? Would I not build
- 48:51Speaker 5: my tabernacle unhappy? Do I call those who have ever
- 48:56Speaker 5: to wait? They are repugnant to my taste? All toll
- 49:00Speaker 5: gatherers and traders and kings, another landskeepers and shopkeepers. Verily
- 49:07Speaker 5: I learn waiting also, and thoroughly so, but only waiting
- 49:11Speaker 5: for myself. And above all that I learned standing and walking,
- 49:16Speaker 5: and running, and leaping and climbing and dancing. This, however,
- 49:21Speaker 5: is my teaching. He who wisheth to one day? To fly?
- 49:26Speaker 5: Must first learn standing and walking, and running and climbing
- 49:30Speaker 5: and dancing. One doth not fly into flying with rope ladders.
- 49:35Speaker 5: Learn I to reach many a window with nimble legs?
- 49:40Speaker 5: Did I climb high masts? To sit on high masts?
- 49:44Speaker 5: Of perceptions? Seem to me no small bliss to flicker
- 49:49Speaker 5: like small flames on high masts. A small light, certainly,
- 49:54Speaker 5: but a great comfort to cast away sailors and shipwrecked ones.
- 50:00Speaker 5: By diverse ways and wendings? Did I arrive at my truth?
- 50:04Speaker 5: Not by one ladder? Did I mount to the height
- 50:07Speaker 5: where mine eye roveth? To my remoteness? And unwillingly? Did
- 50:12Speaker 5: I ask my way that was always counter to my taste?
- 50:18Speaker 5: Rather did I question and test the ways themselves? A
- 50:23Speaker 5: testing and a questioning hath been all my traveling? And
- 50:27Speaker 5: verily one must also learn to answer such questioning that, however,
- 50:34Speaker 5: is my taste neither a good nor a bad taste,
- 50:39Speaker 5: but my taste of which I no longer have either
- 50:42Speaker 5: shame nor secrecy. This is now my way? Where is yours?
- 50:51Speaker 5: Thus did I answer those who ask me the way
- 50:55Speaker 5: for the way it does not exist? Thus spake Zarathustra.
- 51:03Speaker 5: End of Part three, Chapter fifty five, Part three, Chapter
- 51:09Speaker 5: fifty six. Old and new tables. One Here do I
- 51:17Speaker 5: sit and wait, old broken tables around me, and also
- 51:23Speaker 5: new half written tables. When cometh mine hour, the hour
- 51:29Speaker 5: of my descent of my down going for once more?
- 51:33Speaker 5: Will I go unto men for that hour? Do I
- 51:37Speaker 5: now wait?
- 51:38Speaker 4: For?
- 51:38Speaker 5: First? Must the signs come unto me that it is
- 51:42Speaker 5: mine hour, namely the laughing lion with a flock of doves. Meanwhile,
- 51:49Speaker 5: do I talk to myself as one who hath time?
- 51:53Speaker 5: No one telleth me anything new, So I telleth myself
- 51:57Speaker 5: my own story. Two. When I came unto men, then
- 52:04Speaker 5: I found them resting on an old infatuation. All of
- 52:08Speaker 5: them thought they had long known what was good and
- 52:11Speaker 5: bad for men, and old wearisome business seemed to them.
- 52:15Speaker 5: All discourse about virtue, and you wished to sleep well,
- 52:20Speaker 5: spoke of good and bad e'er trying to rest this solumnescence.
- 52:26Speaker 5: I did disturb when I taught that no one yet
- 52:30Speaker 5: knoweth what is good and bad, unless it be the
- 52:35Speaker 5: creating one. It is he, however, who createth man's goal
- 52:40Speaker 5: and giveth to the earth its meaning and its future.
- 52:44Speaker 5: He only affecteth it that aught is good or bad.
- 52:49Speaker 5: And I bade them upset their old academic chairs, and
- 52:53Speaker 5: wherever that old infatuation sat, I bade them laugh at
- 52:57Speaker 5: their great moralists, their saints, their poe poets, and their saviors,
- 53:02Speaker 5: at their gloomy sages. Did I bid them laugh. And
- 53:06Speaker 5: whoever have sat amonishingly as a black scarecrow on the
- 53:09Speaker 5: tree of life, on their great grave highway, did I
- 53:13Speaker 5: seat myself and even beside the carrying and vultures. And
- 53:18Speaker 5: I laughed at all their bygone and its mellow, decaying glory. Verily,
- 53:23Speaker 5: like the penitential preachers and fools, did I cry wrath
- 53:27Speaker 5: and shame on all their greatness and smallness, Oh that
- 53:31Speaker 5: their vest is so very small, Oh that their worst
- 53:35Speaker 5: is so very small. Thus did I laugh. Thus did
- 53:40Speaker 5: my wise, longing born in the mountains cry and laugh
- 53:43Speaker 5: in me a wild wisdom. Verily my great opinion, rustling,
- 53:48Speaker 5: longing and oft, did it carry me off and up
- 53:52Speaker 5: and away. And in the midst of laughter then flew eye,
- 53:57Speaker 5: quivering like an arrow with sun intoxicated rapture, out into
- 54:02Speaker 5: distant futures which no dream hath yet seen into warmer
- 54:06Speaker 5: souls than ever sculptor conceived. Where gods, in their dancing,
- 54:10Speaker 5: are ashamed of all clothes Parenne, that I may speak
- 54:14Speaker 5: in parables and halt and stammer like the poets, And
- 54:18Speaker 5: verily I am ashamed that I have still to be
- 54:21Speaker 5: a poet in Perenne, Where all becoming seemed to me
- 54:27Speaker 5: dancing of gods and the wantoning of gods, and the
- 54:30Speaker 5: world unloosed and unbridled, and fleeing back to itself as
- 54:36Speaker 5: an eternal self, fleeing and re seeking of one another
- 54:40Speaker 5: of many gods, as the blessing of self, contradiction, recommuting
- 54:45Speaker 5: and refraternizing of one another of many gods, Where all
- 54:50Speaker 5: times seemed to me a blessed mockery of moments, when
- 54:55Speaker 5: necessity of freedom itself, which played happily with the gold
- 54:59Speaker 5: of freedom, where I also found again my old devil,
- 55:03Speaker 5: an arch enemy, the spirit of gravity, and all that
- 55:07Speaker 5: are created constraint, law, necessity and consequence and purpose and
- 55:13Speaker 5: will and good and evil. For must there not be
- 55:19Speaker 5: that which is danced over danced beyond? Must there not,
- 55:25Speaker 5: for the sake of the nimble, the nimblest be moles
- 55:29Speaker 5: and clumsy dwarfs. Three there was it also where I
- 55:34Speaker 5: picked up from the path the word superman, and that
- 55:38Speaker 5: man is something that must be surpassed, That man is
- 55:42Speaker 5: a bridge and not a goal, rejoicing over his noontides
- 55:46Speaker 5: and evenings as advances to new rosy dawns, the Zarathustra
- 55:52Speaker 5: word of the great Noontide, and whatever else I have
- 55:55Speaker 5: hung up over men like purple evening after clothes verily,
- 56:00Speaker 5: also new stars? Did I make them see along with
- 56:03Speaker 5: new nights? And overcloud and day and night? Did I
- 56:07Speaker 5: spread out laughter like gay colored canopy? I taught them
- 56:11Speaker 5: that all my poetization and aspiration to compose and collect
- 56:15Speaker 5: into unity what is fragment in men? And riddle and
- 56:19Speaker 5: fearful chance? As composer, riddle reader, and a redeemer of chance?
- 56:25Speaker 5: Did I teach them to create the future and all
- 56:28Speaker 5: that hath been to redeem by creating the past of
- 56:32Speaker 5: men to redeem, and every it was to transform until
- 56:37Speaker 5: the will saith. But so did I will it? So
- 56:41Speaker 5: shall I will it? This did I call redemption? This
- 56:45Speaker 5: alone taught I them to call redemption. Now do I
- 56:49Speaker 5: await my redemption? That I may go down unto them
- 56:53Speaker 5: for the last time. For once more will I go
- 56:57Speaker 5: unto men amongst them, will my sons in my dying,
- 57:01Speaker 5: I will give them my choicest gift from the Sun.
- 57:05Speaker 5: Did I learn this? When it goeth down the exuberant
- 57:09Speaker 5: one gold? Doth it then pour into the sea out
- 57:13Speaker 5: of inexhaustible riches, so that the poorest fisherman roweth even
- 57:18Speaker 5: with golden oars. For this did I once see, and
- 57:23Speaker 5: did not tire of weeping in beholding it? Like the sun.
- 57:27Speaker 5: Will also Zarathustra go down now sitting he here and
- 57:32Speaker 5: waiteth old broken tables around him, and also new tables
- 57:39Speaker 5: half ridden. Four. Behold here is a new table. But
- 57:47Speaker 5: where are my brethren who will carry it with me
- 57:49Speaker 5: to the valley and into the hearts of flesh. Thus
- 57:53Speaker 5: demandeth my great love to the remotest ones. Be not
- 57:58Speaker 5: considerate of thine neighbour. Man is something that must be surpassed.
- 58:04Speaker 5: There are many diverse ways and modes of surpassing. See
- 58:09Speaker 5: thou there too, But only a buffoon, thinketh, man can
- 58:14Speaker 5: also be overlapped, surpass thyself even in thy neighbor. And
- 58:20Speaker 5: a right which thou canst seize upon shalt thou not
- 58:24Speaker 5: allow to be given thee. What thou doest, can no
- 58:29Speaker 5: one do to thee? Again, Lo, there is no requital.
- 58:35Speaker 5: He who cannot command himself shall obey, And many a
- 58:39Speaker 5: one can command himself, but surely lacketh self obedience. Five.
- 58:47Speaker 5: Thus wisheth the type of noble souls. They desire to
- 58:50Speaker 5: have nothing gratuitously, least of all life, He who is
- 58:54Speaker 5: of the populace wishest to live gratuitously. We others, however,
- 58:59Speaker 5: to whom life hath given itself, we are ever considering
- 59:03Speaker 5: what we can best give in return. And verily it
- 59:08Speaker 5: is a noble dictum which saith what life promiseth us
- 59:13Speaker 5: that promise will we keep to life. One should not
- 59:18Speaker 5: wish to enjoyment where one doth not contribute to the enjoyment,
- 59:23Speaker 5: And one should not wish to enjoy, for enjoyment and
- 59:26Speaker 5: innocence are the most bashful things, neither likes to be
- 59:30Speaker 5: sought for one should have them, but one should rather
- 59:34Speaker 5: seek for guilt and pain. Six. Oh, my brethren, he
- 59:42Speaker 5: who is the first thing is ever sacrificed. Now, however
- 59:47Speaker 5: we are first things. We all bleed on secret sacrificial altars.
- 59:52Speaker 5: We all burn and broil in honor of ancient idols.
- 59:57Speaker 5: Our best is still young, the exce old palets. Our
- 1:00:02Speaker 5: flesh is tender, our skin is only lamb's skin. How
- 1:00:06Speaker 5: could we not excite old idol priests in ourselves? Dwelleth
- 1:00:13Speaker 5: he still the old idole priest who broileth our best
- 1:00:17Speaker 5: for his banquet? Ah, my brethren, how could first things
- 1:00:22Speaker 5: fail to be sacrifices? But so wisheth our type and
- 1:00:27Speaker 5: our love? Those who do not wish to preserve themselves,
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: the down gooing ones do I love with mine entire love,
- 1:00:35Speaker 5: For they go beyond seven to be true? That can
- 1:00:42Speaker 5: few be, And he who can will not least of all? However,
- 1:00:48Speaker 5: can the good be true?
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: Oh?
- 1:00:51Speaker 5: These good ones? Good men never speak the truth for
- 1:00:57Speaker 5: the spirit. Thus to be good is a malady. They
- 1:01:01Speaker 5: yield those good ones. They submit themselves. Their heart repeateth
- 1:01:06Speaker 5: their soul obeyeth He however who obeyeth doth not listen
- 1:01:11Speaker 5: to himself. All that is called evil by the good
- 1:01:15Speaker 5: must come together in order that one truth may be borne. O,
- 1:01:20Speaker 5: my brethren, are ye also evil enough for this truth?
- 1:01:25Speaker 5: The daring adventure, the prolonged distrust, the cruel nay, the tedium,
- 1:01:31Speaker 5: the cutting into the quick. How seldom do these come
- 1:01:35Speaker 5: together out of such seed? However, is truth produced beside
- 1:01:42Speaker 5: the bad conscience hath hitherto grown all knowledge, break up,
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: break up ye discerning ones the old tables eight, When
- 1:01:54Speaker 5: the water hath planks, when gangways and railings o'erspand the stream. Verily,
- 1:02:01Speaker 5: he is not believed who saith all is in flux,
- 1:02:05Speaker 5: But even the simpletons contradict him.
- 1:02:08Speaker 4: What say the.
- 1:02:10Speaker 5: Simpletons, all is in flux, planks and railings are still
- 1:02:15Speaker 5: over the stream. Over the stream all is stable. All
- 1:02:20Speaker 5: the values of things, bridges and bearings, all good and evil,
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: these are all stable cometh. However, the hard winter the
- 1:02:32Speaker 5: stream tamer then learn even the wittiest distrust, And verily
- 1:02:37Speaker 5: not only the simpletons, then say, should not everything stand still?
- 1:02:45Speaker 5: Fundamentally standeth everything still. That is an appropriate winter doctrine,
- 1:02:51Speaker 5: good cheer for an unproductive period, a great comfort for
- 1:02:55Speaker 5: winter sleepers and far side lodgers. Fundamental standeth everything still.
- 1:03:03Speaker 5: But contrary thereto preacheth the thwing wind, the thawing wind
- 1:03:10Speaker 5: a bullock which is no plowing bullock a furious bullock,
- 1:03:15Speaker 5: a destroyer, which, with angry horns breaketh the ice. The ice,
- 1:03:20Speaker 5: however breaketh gangways, oh, my brethren, is not everything at
- 1:03:27Speaker 5: present in flux? Have not all railings and gangways fallen
- 1:03:33Speaker 5: into the water? Who would still hold on to good
- 1:03:37Speaker 5: and evil? Woe to us? Hail to us the thawing
- 1:03:42Speaker 5: wind bloweth. Thus preacheth my brethren, all through the streets. Nine.
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: There is an old illusion. It is called good and
- 1:03:54Speaker 5: evil around soothsayers and astrologers. Hath hitherto revolved in all
- 1:04:00Speaker 5: bit of this illusion. Once did one believe in soothsayers
- 1:04:05Speaker 5: and astrologers, and therefore did one believe everything's fate. Thou shalt,
- 1:04:11Speaker 5: for thou must. Then again one did distrust all soothsayers
- 1:04:16Speaker 5: and astrologers, and therefore one did believe everything's freedom. Thou
- 1:04:22Speaker 5: canst for thou willest, oh, my brethren. Concerning the stars
- 1:04:28Speaker 5: and the future, there hath hitherto only been illusion and
- 1:04:33Speaker 5: not knowledge. And therefore, concerning good and evil, there hath
- 1:04:39Speaker 5: hitherto only been illusion and not knowledge. Ten Thou shalt
- 1:04:48Speaker 5: not rob, thou shalt not slay. Such precepts were once
- 1:04:54Speaker 5: called holy. Before them, did one bow the knee and
- 1:04:58Speaker 5: the head, and took off one's shoes. But I ask you,
- 1:05:03Speaker 5: where has there ever been better robbers and slayers in
- 1:05:06Speaker 5: the world than such holy precepts? Is there not even
- 1:05:11Speaker 5: in all life robbing and slaying, for such precepts to
- 1:05:16Speaker 5: be called holy? Was not truth itself thereby slain? Or
- 1:05:22Speaker 5: was it a sermon of death that called holy? What
- 1:05:25Speaker 5: contradicted and assuaded from life? Oh, my brethren, break up,
- 1:05:32Speaker 5: break up for me the old tables eleven. It is
- 1:05:37Speaker 5: my sympathy with all the past that I see. It
- 1:05:40Speaker 5: is abandoned, abandoned to the favor, the spirit and the
- 1:05:45Speaker 5: madness of every generation that cometh and reinterpreteth all that
- 1:05:49Speaker 5: has been as its bridge. A great potentate might arise,
- 1:05:54Speaker 5: an artful prodigy, who, with approval and disapproval, could strain
- 1:05:59Speaker 5: and constrain all the past until it became for him
- 1:06:02Speaker 5: a bridge, a harbringer, a herald, and a cock crowing. This, however,
- 1:06:09Speaker 5: is the other danger and mine other sympathy. He who
- 1:06:13Speaker 5: is of the populace, his thoughts go ever back to
- 1:06:16Speaker 5: his grandfather, and with his grandfather, however doth time cease?
- 1:06:21Speaker 5: Thus is all the past abandoned, for it might some
- 1:06:25Speaker 5: day happen for the populace to become master and drown
- 1:06:29Speaker 5: all time in shallow waters. Therefore, o, my brethren, and
- 1:06:33Speaker 5: new nobility is needed, which shall be the adversary of
- 1:06:37Speaker 5: all populace and potentate rule, And shall inscribe anew the
- 1:06:42Speaker 5: word noble on new tables, for many noble ones are needed,
- 1:06:47Speaker 5: and many kinds of noble ones for a new nobility.
- 1:06:51Speaker 5: Or as one said in a parable, that is just divinity,
- 1:06:56Speaker 5: that there are gods but no god. Twelve, O, my brethren,
- 1:07:03Speaker 5: I consecrate you and point you to a new nobility.
- 1:07:08Speaker 5: Ye shall become procreators and cultivators and sewers of the future. Verily,
- 1:07:14Speaker 5: not to a nobility which ye could purchase like traders
- 1:07:18Speaker 5: with traders gold, for little worth is all that hath
- 1:07:21Speaker 5: its price. Let it not be your honor henceforth whence
- 1:07:26Speaker 5: ye come. But whether ye go, your will and your
- 1:07:30Speaker 5: feet which seek to surpass you, let those be your
- 1:07:34Speaker 5: new honor. Verily, not that ye have served a prince
- 1:07:39Speaker 5: of what account a prince is now, Nor that ye
- 1:07:43Speaker 5: have become a bulkwad to that which standeth, that it
- 1:07:46Speaker 5: may stand more firmly, not that your family have become
- 1:07:50Speaker 5: courtly at courts, and that ye have learned gay colored
- 1:07:54Speaker 5: like famingoes, to stand long hours in shallow pools. Parenne,
- 1:08:00Speaker 5: For the ability to stand is the merit of courtiers,
- 1:08:03Speaker 5: And all courtiers believe that unto blessedness after death pertaineth
- 1:08:08Speaker 5: permission to sit end peren Nor even that a spirit
- 1:08:13Speaker 5: called holy led your forefathers into promised lands which I
- 1:08:18Speaker 5: did not praise for where the worst of all trees
- 1:08:21Speaker 5: grew the cross, in the land where there is nothing
- 1:08:25Speaker 5: to praise. And verily, wherever this Holy Spirit led its knights,
- 1:08:31Speaker 5: always in such campaigns did goats and geese, and rye
- 1:08:35Speaker 5: heads and guy heads run foremost o my brethren, not
- 1:08:41Speaker 5: backward shall your nobility gaze but outward exiles. Shall ye
- 1:08:46Speaker 5: be from all father lands and forefather lands your children's land?
- 1:08:52Speaker 5: Shall ye love? Let this love be your new nobility,
- 1:08:56Speaker 5: the undiscovered in the remotest seas. For it I bid
- 1:09:00Speaker 5: your sale, search and search unto your children, shall ye
- 1:09:04Speaker 5: make amends for being the children of your father's all
- 1:09:09Speaker 5: the past? Shall ye thus redeem this new table? Do
- 1:09:13Speaker 5: I place over you? Thirteen? Why should one live all
- 1:09:19Speaker 5: is vain to live, that is, to thrash straw, to live,
- 1:09:25Speaker 5: that is, to burn oneself and not get warm. Such
- 1:09:29Speaker 5: ancient babbling still passeth for wisdom, because it is old, however,
- 1:09:35Speaker 5: and smeth mustily. Therefore it is the more honored. Even
- 1:09:40Speaker 5: mold ignobleth children might thus speak, they shun the fire,
- 1:09:47Speaker 5: because it hath burned them. There is much childishness in
- 1:09:51Speaker 5: the old books of wisdom. And he who ever thrasheth straw,
- 1:09:56Speaker 5: why should he be allowed to rail up thrashing such
- 1:10:00Speaker 5: a fool one would have to muzzle Such persons sit
- 1:10:04Speaker 5: down to the table and bring nothing with them, not
- 1:10:07Speaker 5: even good hunger. And then do they rail. All is vain,
- 1:10:12Speaker 5: but to eat and drink well, my brethren, is verily
- 1:10:16Speaker 5: no vain. Art break up, Break up for me the
- 1:10:20Speaker 5: tables of the never joyous ones. Fourteen to the clean
- 1:10:27Speaker 5: all things are clean, thus say the people. I, however,
- 1:10:31Speaker 5: say unto you. To the swine, all things become swineish.
- 1:10:37Speaker 5: Therefore preacheth the visionaries and bowed heads perenne whose hearts
- 1:10:42Speaker 5: are also bowed down, And perenne the world itself is
- 1:10:47Speaker 5: a filthy monster. For these are all unclean spirits, especially those, however,
- 1:10:54Speaker 5: who have no peace or rest unless they see the
- 1:10:56Speaker 5: world from the backside. The backweld world's men to those
- 1:11:03Speaker 5: do I say it to the face, though it sounds unpleasantly,
- 1:11:07Speaker 5: The world resembleth man in that it hath a backside.
- 1:11:12Speaker 5: So much is true. There is in the world much filth.
- 1:11:17Speaker 5: So much is true, But the world itself is not
- 1:11:21Speaker 5: therefore a filthy monster. There is wisdom in the fact
- 1:11:26Speaker 5: that much in the world smellth badly. Loathing itself createth
- 1:11:30Speaker 5: wings and found in divining powers. In the best, there
- 1:11:34Speaker 5: is still something to loathe. And in the best there
- 1:11:37Speaker 5: is still something that must be surpassed. Oh, my brethren,
- 1:11:41Speaker 5: there is much wisdom in the fact that much filth
- 1:11:44Speaker 5: is in the world. Fifteen such sayings did I hear
- 1:11:51Speaker 5: pious backworlds Men speak to their consciences, and verily without
- 1:11:56Speaker 5: wickedness or guile, although there is nothing more guileful in
- 1:11:59Speaker 5: the world, or more wicked. Let the world be as
- 1:12:04Speaker 5: it is. Raise not a finger against it. Let whoever
- 1:12:09Speaker 5: will choke and stab, and skin and scrape the people,
- 1:12:13Speaker 5: raise not a finger against it. Thereby we will learn
- 1:12:17Speaker 5: to renounce the world and thy own reason. This shalt
- 1:12:22Speaker 5: thou thyself stifle and choke, for it is a reason
- 1:12:25Speaker 5: of this world. Thereby wilt thou learn thyself to renounce
- 1:12:30Speaker 5: the world. Shatter, shatter, O, my brethren, those old tables
- 1:12:35Speaker 5: are the pious tatter, the maxims of the world maligners. Sixteen.
- 1:12:44Speaker 5: He who learneth much unlearneth all violent cravings that do
- 1:12:49Speaker 5: people now whisper to one another in all the dark lanes.
- 1:12:54Speaker 5: Wisdom wearieth nothing is worth. While thou shalt not crave
- 1:13:00Speaker 5: this new table found I hanging even in the public markets.
- 1:13:04Speaker 5: Break up for me, oh, my brethren, break up also
- 1:13:08Speaker 5: that new table, the weary, Oh, the world put it up,
- 1:13:13Speaker 5: and the preachers of death and the jailer for low.
- 1:13:17Speaker 5: It is also a sermon for slavery, because they learned
- 1:13:21Speaker 5: badly and not the best, and everything too early, and
- 1:13:25Speaker 5: everything too fast, because they ate badly. For thence hath
- 1:13:30Speaker 5: returneth their ruined stomach. For a ruined stomach is their spirit.
- 1:13:36Speaker 5: It persuadeth to death. For verily, my brethren, the spirit
- 1:13:40Speaker 5: is a stomach. Life is a well of delight. But
- 1:13:45Speaker 5: to him in whom the ruined stomach speaketh, the father
- 1:13:48Speaker 5: of affliction. All fountains are poisoned to discern that is
- 1:13:53Speaker 5: delight to the line willed. But he who hath become
- 1:13:58Speaker 5: weary of himself willed with him play all the waves.
- 1:14:04Speaker 5: And such is always the nature of weak men. They
- 1:14:08Speaker 5: lose themselves on their way. And at last asketh the weariest,
- 1:14:13Speaker 5: why did we ever go on the way? All is
- 1:14:16Speaker 5: indifferent to them? Soundeth pleasant to have preached in their ears?
- 1:14:22Speaker 5: Nothing is worthwhile thou shalt not will That, however, is
- 1:14:27Speaker 5: a sermon for slavery. O, my brethren, a fresh, blustering
- 1:14:32Speaker 5: wind cometh zarathustra unto all way weary ones, many noses,
- 1:14:38Speaker 5: will he yet make sneeze, even through wolves bloweth my
- 1:14:43Speaker 5: free breath, and into prisons and imprisoned spirits. Willing emancipateth.
- 1:14:51Speaker 5: For willing is creating, So do I teach. And only
- 1:14:56Speaker 5: for creating shall ye learn? And also learning shall ye
- 1:15:01Speaker 5: learn only from me? The learning? Well, he who hath ears,
- 1:15:08Speaker 5: let him hear. Seventeen. There standeth the boat. Thither it
- 1:15:16Speaker 5: go over, perhaps into a vast nothingness. But who willeth
- 1:15:21Speaker 5: enter into this? Perhaps none of you want to enter
- 1:15:25Speaker 5: into the death boat. How should ye then, be world
- 1:15:29Speaker 5: weary ones, world weary ones, and have not, even withdrawn
- 1:15:35Speaker 5: from the earth eager did I find you for the
- 1:15:38Speaker 5: earth amorous? Still for your own world weariness not in
- 1:15:43Speaker 5: vain doth your lip hang down a small worldly wish?
- 1:15:47Speaker 5: Still sit thereon, and in your eye floateth there not
- 1:15:51Speaker 5: a cloudlet of unforgotten earthly bliss. There are on earth
- 1:15:56Speaker 5: many good inventions, some useful, some pleasant. For their sake
- 1:16:02Speaker 5: is the earth to be loved. And many such good
- 1:16:05Speaker 5: inventions there are, that they are like women's breasts, useful
- 1:16:10Speaker 5: at the same time and pleasant, Ye world weary ones. However,
- 1:16:15Speaker 5: ye earth idlers, ye shall one beat with stripes, with stripes,
- 1:16:20Speaker 5: shall one again make you sprightly limbs? For if ye
- 1:16:24Speaker 5: not be invalids or decrepit creatures of whom the earth
- 1:16:28Speaker 5: is weary, then ye are sly slothes or dainty sneaking
- 1:16:34Speaker 5: pleasure cats. And if ye will not again run gaily,
- 1:16:38Speaker 5: then shall ye pass away to the incurable? Shall one
- 1:16:43Speaker 5: not seek to be a physician? Thus teacheth the Zarathustra,
- 1:16:48Speaker 5: So shall ye pass away? But more courage is needed
- 1:16:52Speaker 5: to make an end than to make new verse. That
- 1:16:55Speaker 5: to all physicians and poets.
- 1:16:57Speaker 3: Know well.
- 1:17:01Speaker 5: Eighteen, Oh, my brethren, there are tables which weariness framed,
- 1:17:08Speaker 5: and tables which slothfulness framed corrupt slothfulness. Although they speak similarly,
- 1:17:15Speaker 5: they want to be heard differently. See this languishing one.
- 1:17:21Speaker 5: Only a span breath is he from his goal. But
- 1:17:24Speaker 5: from weariness hath he lain down obstinately in the dust.
- 1:17:29Speaker 5: This brave one, from weariness yawneth he at the path,
- 1:17:33Speaker 5: at the earth, at the goal, and at himself. Not
- 1:17:38Speaker 5: a step further will he go. This brave one now
- 1:17:42Speaker 5: goeth the sun upon him, and the dogs lick at
- 1:17:45Speaker 5: his sweat. But he lieth there in his obstinacy, and
- 1:17:49Speaker 5: prefereth to languish a span breath from his goal, to
- 1:17:53Speaker 5: languish verily, Ye will have to drag him into his
- 1:17:57Speaker 5: heaven by the hair of his head. This year he
- 1:18:01Speaker 5: better still that ye. Let him lie where he hath
- 1:18:04Speaker 5: lain down, that sleep may come unto him the comforter
- 1:18:08Speaker 5: with cool pattering rain. Let him lie until of his
- 1:18:13Speaker 5: own accord. He awakeneth. Until his own accord. You repudiate
- 1:18:17Speaker 5: all weariness, and what weariness hath taught through him. Only,
- 1:18:22Speaker 5: my brethren, see that ye scare the dogs away from him,
- 1:18:26Speaker 5: the idle skulkers, and all swarming vermin, all the swarming
- 1:18:31Speaker 5: vermin of the cultured that feast on the sweat of
- 1:18:35Speaker 5: every hero. Nineteen. I form circles around me in holy boundaries.
- 1:18:43Speaker 5: Ever fewer ascend with me, ever higher mountains. I build
- 1:18:47Speaker 5: mountain ranges out of ever holier mountains. But wherever ye
- 1:18:52Speaker 5: would ascend with me or my brethren, take care lest
- 1:18:56Speaker 5: a parasite ascend with you. A parasite that is a reptile,
- 1:19:01Speaker 5: a creeping, cringing reptile, that trieth to fatten on your
- 1:19:06Speaker 5: infirmin sore places. And this is its art. It divineth
- 1:19:13Speaker 5: where ascending souls, weary in your trouble and dejection in
- 1:19:18Speaker 5: your sensitive modesty, doth it build its loathsome nest, whether
- 1:19:23Speaker 5: strong or weak, where the noble are all too gentle.
- 1:19:28Speaker 5: There buildeth its loathsome nest. The parasite liveth where the
- 1:19:32Speaker 5: great have small sore places. Where is the highest of
- 1:19:37Speaker 5: all species of being, and what is the lowest The
- 1:19:41Speaker 5: parasite is the lowest species. He, however, who is of
- 1:19:46Speaker 5: the highest species, feedeth most parasites. For the soul which
- 1:19:52Speaker 5: hath the longest ladder and can go deepest down. How
- 1:19:56Speaker 5: could there fail to be the most parasites upon it?
- 1:20:00Speaker 5: The most comprehensive soul, which can run and stray and
- 1:20:05Speaker 5: row furthest in itself, the most necessary soul, which, out
- 1:20:10Speaker 5: of joy flingeth itself into chance, the soul in being
- 1:20:15Speaker 5: which plungeth into becoming. The possessing soul, which seeketh to
- 1:20:21Speaker 5: attain desire and longing, the soul fleeth from itself, from
- 1:20:27Speaker 5: overtaking itself in the widest circuit. The wisest soul, unto
- 1:20:32Speaker 5: which fully speaketh, most sweetly, the soul most self loving,
- 1:20:38Speaker 5: in which all things have their current and countercurrent, their
- 1:20:42Speaker 5: ebb and their flow. Oh, how could the loftiest soul
- 1:20:47Speaker 5: fail to have the worst parasites? Twenty O, my brethren,
- 1:20:55Speaker 5: Am I then cruel? But I say, what fooleth?
- 1:20:59Speaker 4: That?
- 1:20:59Speaker 5: Shall one also push everything of today? It faleth, it decayeth.
- 1:21:06Speaker 5: Who would preserve it? But I wish also to push it?
- 1:21:11Speaker 5: Know you, the delight which rolleth stones into precipitous depths.
- 1:21:16Speaker 5: Those men of today, just see how they roll into
- 1:21:19Speaker 5: my deaths. A prelude am I to better players? Oh
- 1:21:24Speaker 5: my brethren an example, do according to my example, And
- 1:21:30Speaker 5: him who do not teach to fly teach. I pray
- 1:21:33Speaker 5: you to fall faster. Twenty one. I love the brave,
- 1:21:41Speaker 5: but it is not enough to be a swordsman. One
- 1:21:44Speaker 5: must also know whereon to use swordsmanship. And often it
- 1:21:49Speaker 5: is greater bravery to keep quiet and pass by than
- 1:21:53Speaker 5: thereby one may reserve oneself for a worthier foe. You
- 1:21:58Speaker 5: shall only have foes to be hated, but not foes
- 1:22:01Speaker 5: to be despised. Ye must be proud of your foes.
- 1:22:05Speaker 5: Thus I have already taught for the worthy foe. O,
- 1:22:09Speaker 5: my brethren, ye shall reserve yourselves. Therefore must ye pass
- 1:22:13Speaker 5: by many a one, especially many of the rabble, who
- 1:22:18Speaker 5: din your ears with noise about people and peoples. Keep
- 1:22:22Speaker 5: your eye clear of their fore and against. There is
- 1:22:26Speaker 5: there much right, much wrong here. You look upon, become wroth.
- 1:22:31Speaker 5: They're in viewing. They're in viewing. They are the same thing. Therefore,
- 1:22:36Speaker 5: depart into the forests and lay your sword to sleep.
- 1:22:41Speaker 5: Go your ways, and let the people and peoples go
- 1:22:44Speaker 5: theirs gloomy ways verily on which not a single hope
- 1:22:48Speaker 5: glinteth anymore. Let there the trade a rule where all
- 1:22:54Speaker 5: that still glittereth is trade is gold. It is the
- 1:22:58Speaker 5: time of kings. No longer that which now calleth itself
- 1:23:02Speaker 5: the people is unworthy of kings. See how these people
- 1:23:06Speaker 5: themselves now do just like the traders. They pick up
- 1:23:10Speaker 5: the smallest advantage out of all kinds of rubbish. They
- 1:23:14Speaker 5: lay lures for one another. They lure things out of
- 1:23:17Speaker 5: one another that they call good neighborliness. Oh, blessed remote
- 1:23:23Speaker 5: period when a people say to itself, I will be
- 1:23:27Speaker 5: master over peoples. For my brethren the best to rule.
- 1:23:32Speaker 5: The best also willeth to rule. And where the teaching
- 1:23:37Speaker 5: is different, there the best is lacking. Twenty two. If
- 1:23:43Speaker 5: they had bread for nothing, alas for what would they cry?
- 1:23:51Speaker 5: Their maintainment that is their true entertainment, And they shall
- 1:23:57Speaker 5: have it hard. Beasts of preyer. They in their working
- 1:24:02Speaker 5: there is even plundering. In their earning, there is even overreaching.
- 1:24:08Speaker 5: Therefore they shall have it hard. Better beasts of prey.
- 1:24:13Speaker 5: Shall they become subtler, cleverer, more man like. For man
- 1:24:19Speaker 5: is the best beast of prey. All the animals hath
- 1:24:24Speaker 5: Man already robbed of their virtues. That is why of
- 1:24:28Speaker 5: all animals it hath been hardest for man. Only the
- 1:24:33Speaker 5: birds are still beyond him. And if man should yet
- 1:24:36Speaker 5: learn to fly, alas to what height would his rapacity fly?
- 1:24:42Speaker 5: Twenty three Thus would I have man and woman fit
- 1:24:48Speaker 5: for war, the one fit for modernity, the other, both however,
- 1:24:54Speaker 5: fit for dancing with head and legs and lost. Be
- 1:24:59Speaker 5: the day to in which a measure hath not been danced,
- 1:25:03Speaker 5: And false be every truth which hath not laughter along
- 1:25:06Speaker 5: with it. Twenty four your marriage arranging, see that it
- 1:25:14Speaker 5: be not a bad arranging. Ye have arranged too hastily,
- 1:25:20Speaker 5: So that followeth therefrom marriage breaking, and better marriage breaking
- 1:25:26Speaker 5: than marriage bending, marriage lying. Thus spake a woman unto me.
- 1:25:33Speaker 5: Indeed I broke the marriage, but first did the marriage
- 1:25:38Speaker 5: break me. The badly paired found I ever the most vengeful.
- 1:25:44Speaker 5: They make everyone suffer for it that they no longer
- 1:25:47Speaker 5: run singly. On that account, I want the honest ones
- 1:25:52Speaker 5: to say to one another, we love each other. Let
- 1:25:56Speaker 5: us see to it that we maintain our love, or
- 1:26:00Speaker 5: shall our pledging be blundering. Give us a set term
- 1:26:04Speaker 5: and a small marriage, that we may see if we
- 1:26:08Speaker 5: are fit for the great marriage. It is a great
- 1:26:12Speaker 5: matter always to be twain. Thus do I counsel all
- 1:26:16Speaker 5: the honest ones? And what would be my love to
- 1:26:20Speaker 5: the superman and all that is to come if I
- 1:26:22Speaker 5: should counsel and speak otherwise, not only to propagate yourselves onwards,
- 1:26:29Speaker 5: but upwards there too, Oh, my brethren, may the garden
- 1:26:34Speaker 5: of marriage help you. Twenty five, he who hath grown
- 1:26:41Speaker 5: wise concerning old origins low, he will at last seek
- 1:26:46Speaker 5: after the fountains of the future and new origins. Oh,
- 1:26:50Speaker 5: my brethren, Not long will it be until new peoples
- 1:26:55Speaker 5: shall arise, and new fountains shall rush down into new depths.
- 1:27:02Speaker 5: For the earthquake it choketh up many wells. It causeth
- 1:27:07Speaker 5: much languishing, But it bringeth also to new light, inner
- 1:27:11Speaker 5: powers and secrets. The earthquake discovereth new fountains. In the
- 1:27:16Speaker 5: earthquake of old people's, new fountains burst forth. And whoever
- 1:27:21Speaker 5: calleth out lo here is a well for many thirsty ones,
- 1:27:27Speaker 5: one heart, for many longy ones, one will, for many
- 1:27:31Speaker 5: instruments around him collecteth a people, that is to say,
- 1:27:37Speaker 5: many attempting ones who can command, who must obey? That
- 1:27:43Speaker 5: is there attempted are with what long seeking and solving
- 1:27:49Speaker 5: and failing, and learning and reattempting human society. It is
- 1:27:55Speaker 5: an attempt. So I teach a long seeking it seeketh
- 1:27:59Speaker 5: however the ruler and attempt, my brethren, and no contract destroy.
- 1:28:07Speaker 5: I pray you destroy that word of the soft hearted
- 1:28:10Speaker 5: and the half and half twenty six, O, my brethren,
- 1:28:18Speaker 5: with whom lieth the greatest danger to the whole of
- 1:28:21Speaker 5: human future? Is it not with the good and just
- 1:28:26Speaker 5: and those who say and feel in their hearts we
- 1:28:28Speaker 5: already know what is good and just. We possess it.
- 1:28:32Speaker 5: Also woe to those who still seek it thereafter. And
- 1:28:37Speaker 5: whatever harm the wicked may do, the harm of the
- 1:28:41Speaker 5: good is the harmfullest harm. And whatever harm the world
- 1:28:45Speaker 5: maligners may do, the harm of the good is the
- 1:28:49Speaker 5: harmfullest harm. O, my brethren, into the hearts of the good,
- 1:28:54Speaker 5: and just looked some one once on a time who
- 1:28:57Speaker 5: said they are the Pharisees. But people did not understand him.
- 1:29:05Speaker 5: The good and just themselves were not free to understand him.
- 1:29:09Speaker 5: Their spirit was imprisoned in their good conscience. Their stupidity
- 1:29:13Speaker 5: of the good is unfathomably wise. It is the truth, however,
- 1:29:19Speaker 5: that the good must be Pharisees they have no choice.
- 1:29:24Speaker 5: The good must crucify whom who deviseth his own virtue,
- 1:29:27Speaker 5: that is the truth. The second one, however, who discovereth
- 1:29:31Speaker 5: their country, the country, heart and soul of the good
- 1:29:35Speaker 5: and just. It is he who asked whom do they
- 1:29:38Speaker 5: hate most? The creator hate they most him who breaketh
- 1:29:43Speaker 5: the tables and old values. The breaker him they call
- 1:29:48Speaker 5: the law breaker. For the good they cannot create. They
- 1:29:54Speaker 5: are always the beginning of the end. They crucify him
- 1:29:58Speaker 5: who writeth the new values on new tables. They crucify
- 1:30:03Speaker 5: under themselves the future. They crucify the whole human future.
- 1:30:09Speaker 5: The good they have always been the beginning of the end.
- 1:30:15Speaker 5: Twenty seven, Oh, my brethren, have ye also understood this
- 1:30:21Speaker 5: word and what I once said of the last man,
- 1:30:26Speaker 5: with whom life the greatest danger to the whole human future?
- 1:30:30Speaker 6: Is it not?
- 1:30:31Speaker 5: With the good and just? Break up? Break up? I
- 1:30:36Speaker 5: pray you the good and just? Oh, my brethren, have
- 1:30:40Speaker 5: ye understood also this word? Twenty eight? Ye flee from me?
- 1:30:47Speaker 5: Ye are frightened? You tremble at this words? Oh my brethren,
- 1:30:52Speaker 5: When I enjoined you to break up the good and
- 1:30:56Speaker 5: the tables of the goods, then only did I embark
- 1:30:59Speaker 5: man on his high seas, and now only cometh unto
- 1:31:03Speaker 5: him the great terror, the great outlook, the great sickness,
- 1:31:08Speaker 5: the great nausea, the great sea sickness, false shores and
- 1:31:13Speaker 5: false securities? Did the Good teach you in the lives
- 1:31:18Speaker 5: of the good? We ye born and bred. Everything hath
- 1:31:21Speaker 5: been radically contorted and distorted by the Good. But he
- 1:31:26Speaker 5: discovereth the country of man discovered also the country of
- 1:31:31Speaker 5: man's future. Now shall ye be sailors for me? Brave patience?
- 1:31:39Speaker 5: Keep yourselves up, betimes, my brethren, learn to keep yourselves up.
- 1:31:44Speaker 5: The sea stormouth, many seek to raise themselves against you,
- 1:31:49Speaker 5: The sea stormuth all is in the sea. Well, cheer up, ye,
- 1:31:54Speaker 5: your seamen hearts. What of the fatherland? Thither strive ath
- 1:31:59Speaker 5: our health? Where our children's land is thitherwoods stormier than
- 1:32:05Speaker 5: the sea stormeth our great longing? Twenty nine? Why so hard,
- 1:32:17Speaker 5: says to the diamond one day the charcoal? Are we
- 1:32:20Speaker 5: then not near relatives? Why so soft? O, my brethren?
- 1:32:25Speaker 5: Thus do I ask you? Are you not, my brethren?
- 1:32:30Speaker 5: Why so soft? So submissive and yielding? Why is there
- 1:32:36Speaker 5: so much negation and abnegation in your hearts. Why is
- 1:32:41Speaker 5: there so little fate in your looks? And if ye
- 1:32:45Speaker 5: will not be fates and inexorable ones, how can ye
- 1:32:49Speaker 5: one day conquer with me? And if your hardness will
- 1:32:54Speaker 5: not glance and cut and ship to pieces, how can
- 1:32:57Speaker 5: ye one day create with me? For the creators are
- 1:33:03Speaker 5: hard and blessedness. Must it seem to you to press
- 1:33:07Speaker 5: your hand upon millenniums as upon wax, blessedness, to write
- 1:33:12Speaker 5: upon the will of millenniums as upon brass, Harder than brass,
- 1:33:18Speaker 5: nobler than brass? Entirely hard? Is only the noblest this
- 1:33:24Speaker 5: new table, Oh, my brethren, are put over you become
- 1:33:29Speaker 5: hard thirty, Oh thou my will, Thou change of every
- 1:33:39Speaker 5: need my needfulness. Preserve me from all small victories. Thou
- 1:33:45Speaker 5: fatest my soul, which I call fate. Thou in me
- 1:33:50Speaker 5: over me, preserve and spare me for one great fate
- 1:33:56Speaker 5: and thy last greatness, My will spare for thy last,
- 1:34:02Speaker 5: that thou mayest be inexurable in thy victory. Ah who
- 1:34:08Speaker 5: had not succumbed to his victory, Ah whose eye had
- 1:34:13Speaker 5: not bedimmed in this intoxicating twilight, Ah whose foot hath
- 1:34:18Speaker 5: not faulted, And forgotten in victory? How to stand that
- 1:34:23Speaker 5: I may one day be ready and ripe for one
- 1:34:25Speaker 5: great noontide, Ready and ripe like the glowing oar, the
- 1:34:30Speaker 5: lightning bearing cloud, the swelling milk garder, ready for myself
- 1:34:38Speaker 5: and for my most hidden will, a bow eager for
- 1:34:41Speaker 5: its arrow, an arrow eager for its star, a star
- 1:34:47Speaker 5: ready and ripe in its noontide, glowing pierced, blessed by
- 1:34:54Speaker 5: annihilating sun arrows, a sun itself and an inexcurable son
- 1:35:00Speaker 5: will ready for annihilation in victory. Oh, will thou change
- 1:35:07Speaker 5: of every need my needfulness? Spare me for one great victory?
- 1:35:15Speaker 5: Thus spake Zarathustra. End of Part three, Chapter fifty six,
- 1:35:24Speaker 5: Part three, Chapter fifty seven, The Convalescent. One one morning,
- 1:35:33Speaker 5: not long after his return to his cave, Zarathustras sprang
- 1:35:37Speaker 5: up from his couch like a madman, crying in with
- 1:35:40Speaker 5: a frightful voice, and acting as if someone still lay
- 1:35:43Speaker 5: on the couch who did not wish to rise. Zarathustra's
- 1:35:47Speaker 5: voice also resounded in such a manner that his animals
- 1:35:50Speaker 5: came to him frightened, and out of all the neighboring
- 1:35:54Speaker 5: caves and lurking places, all the creatures slipped away, flying,
- 1:35:58Speaker 5: fluttering creed, being all leaping according to their variety of
- 1:36:03Speaker 5: foot or wing. Zarathustra, however, spake these words up abysmal thought,
- 1:36:11Speaker 5: out of my depth. I am thy cock, and morning dawn,
- 1:36:15Speaker 5: Thou overslept reptile up up. My voice shall soon crow
- 1:36:20Speaker 5: thee awake and bind the fetters of thine ears. Listen,
- 1:36:25Speaker 5: for I wish to hear thee up up. There is
- 1:36:30Speaker 5: thunder enough to make the very graves listen and rather sleep,
- 1:36:35Speaker 5: and all the dimness and blindness out of thine eyes
- 1:36:38Speaker 5: hear me also with thine eyes. My voice is a medicine,
- 1:36:42Speaker 5: even for those born blind. And once thou art awake,
- 1:36:48Speaker 5: then shalt thou ever remain awake. It is not my
- 1:36:51Speaker 5: custom to awake great grandmothers out of their sleep, that
- 1:36:55Speaker 5: I may bid them sleep on. Thou steerest, stretchest, thy
- 1:36:59Speaker 5: so elth weezest up up, not wheeze. Shalt thou but
- 1:37:05Speaker 5: speak unto me. Zarathustra, calleth thee, Zarathustra, the godless. I Zarathustra,
- 1:37:13Speaker 5: the advocate of the living, the advocate of the suffering,
- 1:37:17Speaker 5: the advocate of the circuit. Thee do I call my
- 1:37:21Speaker 5: most abysmal thought. Joy to me, thou comest I hear
- 1:37:25Speaker 5: thee mine abyss speaketh my lowest depth? Have I turned
- 1:37:32Speaker 5: over into the light? Joy to me, come hither, give
- 1:37:36Speaker 5: me thy hand. Ah let be aha disgust, disgust, disgust
- 1:37:44Speaker 5: alas to me. Two hardly however, had Zarathustra spoken these
- 1:37:53Speaker 5: words when he fell down as one dead, and remained
- 1:37:56Speaker 5: long as one dead. When, however, he came again to himself,
- 1:38:01Speaker 5: then he was pale and trembling, and remained lying, and
- 1:38:05Speaker 5: for long he would neither eat nor drink. This condition
- 1:38:09Speaker 5: continued for seven days. His animals, however, did not leave
- 1:38:13Speaker 5: him day or night, except that the eagle flew forth
- 1:38:17Speaker 5: to fetch food, And when it fetched and forged, it
- 1:38:21Speaker 5: laid on Zarathustra's touch, so that Zarathustra at last lay
- 1:38:25Speaker 5: among yellow and red berries, grapes, rosy apples, sweet smelling herbage,
- 1:38:31Speaker 5: and pine cones at his feet. However, two lambs were stretched,
- 1:38:37Speaker 5: which the eagle had with difficulty carried off from their shepherds.
- 1:38:43Speaker 5: At last, after seven days, Zarathustra raised himself upon his couch,
- 1:38:49Speaker 5: took a rosy apple in his hand, smelt it and
- 1:38:52Speaker 5: found it smell pleasant. Then did his animals think the
- 1:38:56Speaker 5: time had come to speak unto him? O Zarathustra said,
- 1:39:01Speaker 5: they now hast thou lane thus for seven days, with
- 1:39:06Speaker 5: heavy eyes. Wilt thou not set thyself again upon thy feet?
- 1:39:12Speaker 5: Step out of thy cave. The world waiteth for THEE
- 1:39:15Speaker 5: as a garden. The wind playeth with heavy fragrance, which
- 1:39:19Speaker 5: seeketh for THEE. And all brooks would like to run
- 1:39:22Speaker 5: after THEE. All things long for THEE. Since thou hast
- 1:39:27Speaker 5: remained alone for seven days, step forth out of thy cave,
- 1:39:32Speaker 5: all things wont to be thy physicians, did perhaps a
- 1:39:37Speaker 5: new knowledge come to THEE? A bitter grievous knowledge, like
- 1:39:42Speaker 5: leave and doe? Layest thou. Thy soul arose and swelled
- 1:39:46Speaker 5: beyond all its bounds. O mine animals, answered Zarathustra, Talk
- 1:39:52Speaker 5: on thus, and let me listen. It refresheth me. So
- 1:39:56Speaker 5: to hear you talk. Where there is talk, there is
- 1:40:00Speaker 5: the world as a garden. And to me, how charming
- 1:40:04Speaker 5: it is that there are words and tones? Are not
- 1:40:07Speaker 5: words and tones, rainbows and seeming bridges TwixT the eternal separated.
- 1:40:13Speaker 5: To each soul belongeth another world. To each soul is
- 1:40:17Speaker 5: every other soul a backworld. And the most alike doth
- 1:40:21Speaker 5: semblance deceive most delightfully, For the smallest gap is the
- 1:40:26Speaker 5: most difficult to bridge over. For me, how could there
- 1:40:30Speaker 5: be an outside of me? There is no outside but
- 1:40:36Speaker 5: this we forget on hearing tones. How delightful it is
- 1:40:39Speaker 5: that we forget? Have not the names and tones been
- 1:40:43Speaker 5: given unto things? That man may refresh himself with them?
- 1:40:48Speaker 5: It is the beautiful folly speaking therewith danceth man over everything.
- 1:40:54Speaker 5: How lovely is all speech, and all falses of tones?
- 1:40:57Speaker 5: With tones danceth our love on very gated rainbows.
- 1:41:02Speaker 4: Oh.
- 1:41:03Speaker 5: Zarathustra then said his animals, to those who think like us,
- 1:41:08Speaker 5: things all dance themselves. They come and hold out the hand,
- 1:41:12Speaker 5: and laugh and flee and return. Everything goeth, Everything returneth
- 1:41:19Speaker 5: eternally rolleth the wheel of existence. Everything dieth, everything blossom
- 1:41:25Speaker 5: forth again eternally returneth on the year of existence. Everything breaketh,
- 1:41:31Speaker 5: everything is integrated, and you eternally buildeth itself the same
- 1:41:35Speaker 5: house of existence. All things separate, All things again greet
- 1:41:40Speaker 5: one another, eternally true to itself, remaineth the ringing of
- 1:41:44Speaker 5: existence every moment beginneth existence around every here rolleth a
- 1:41:50Speaker 5: ball there the middle is everywhere crooked is the path
- 1:41:55Speaker 5: of eternity. Oh ye, wags and barrel organs are, said Zarathustra,
- 1:42:01Speaker 5: and smiled once more. How well do ye know what
- 1:42:06Speaker 5: had to be fulfilled in seven days? And how that
- 1:42:10Speaker 5: monster crept into my throat and choked me? But I
- 1:42:13Speaker 5: bit off its head and spat it away from me,
- 1:42:17Speaker 5: And ye ye have made a liar lay out of it. Now,
- 1:42:22Speaker 5: however do I lie here, still exhausted with that biting
- 1:42:28Speaker 5: and spitting away, still sick with my own salvation? And
- 1:42:33Speaker 5: ye looked on at it all? Oh, mine animals? Are
- 1:42:38Speaker 5: ye all so cruel? Did ye like to look upon
- 1:42:42Speaker 5: my great pain as men do? For man is the
- 1:42:45Speaker 5: cruelest animal at tragedies, bull fights and crucifixions. Hath Hee
- 1:42:51Speaker 5: hitherto been happiest on earth. And when he invented his hell,
- 1:42:56Speaker 5: behold that was his heaven on earth. When the great
- 1:43:00Speaker 5: man crieth, immediately runneth the little man thither, and his
- 1:43:05Speaker 5: tongue hangeth out of his mouth for very lusting. He, however,
- 1:43:09Speaker 5: call it his pity. The little man, especially the poet,
- 1:43:15Speaker 5: How passionately doth he accuse life in words hearken to him?
- 1:43:19Speaker 5: But do not fail to hear the delight which is
- 1:43:22Speaker 5: in all accusation. Such accusers of life them Life overcometh
- 1:43:28Speaker 5: with a glance of the eye. Thou lovest me, said
- 1:43:32Speaker 5: the insolent one, wait a little, as yet have I
- 1:43:36Speaker 5: no time for thee towards himself. Man is the cruelest animal.
- 1:43:42Speaker 5: And in all who call himselves sinner and bearers of
- 1:43:46Speaker 5: the cross and penitence, do not overlook the voluptuousness of
- 1:43:51Speaker 5: their plaints and accusations. And I myself do I thereby
- 1:43:57Speaker 5: want to be man's accuser, Ah, animals. This only have
- 1:44:02Speaker 5: I learned hitherto that for man, his baddest is necessary
- 1:44:06Speaker 5: for his best, that all that is baddest is his
- 1:44:10Speaker 5: best power, and the hardest stone for the highest creator,
- 1:44:14Speaker 5: And that man must become better and badder. Not to
- 1:44:19Speaker 5: this torture steak was I tied that I know man
- 1:44:23Speaker 5: is bad. But I cried, as no one hath yet cried, Ah,
- 1:44:30Speaker 5: that is badness is so very small, ah, that his
- 1:44:34Speaker 5: best is so very small. The great disgust at man,
- 1:44:39Speaker 5: it strangled me, and had crept into my throat, and
- 1:44:44Speaker 5: what the soothsayer had presaged, all is alike, nothing is
- 1:44:49Speaker 5: worthwhile knowledge strangleth along twile I limbed on before me
- 1:44:55Speaker 5: a fatal weary, a fatal intoxicated sadness, which spake with
- 1:45:00Speaker 5: yawned mouth. Eternally, he returneth the man of whom thou
- 1:45:05Speaker 5: art weary. The small man so yawned my sadness, and
- 1:45:09Speaker 5: dragged its foot, and could not go to sleep. A
- 1:45:12Speaker 5: cavern became the human earth to me. Its breast caved
- 1:45:16Speaker 5: in everything living became to me human dust and bones,
- 1:45:21Speaker 5: and a moldering past. My sighing sat on all human
- 1:45:25Speaker 5: graves and could no longer arise. My sighing in questioning
- 1:45:29Speaker 5: croaked and choked, and gnawed and nagged day and night.
- 1:45:35Speaker 5: Ah man returneth eternally. The small man returneth eternally naked.
- 1:45:44Speaker 5: Had I once seen both of them, the great man
- 1:45:47Speaker 5: and the small man, all too like one another, all
- 1:45:51Speaker 5: too human, even the greatest man, all too small, even
- 1:45:57Speaker 5: the greatest man that was my disgust man, And the
- 1:46:02Speaker 5: eternal return also of the smallest man, that was my
- 1:46:06Speaker 5: disgust at all existence, Ah disgust, disgust disgust dust beg Zarathustra,
- 1:46:16Speaker 5: and sighed and shuddered, for he remembered his sickness. Then
- 1:46:20Speaker 5: did his animals prevent him from speaking further? Do not
- 1:46:24Speaker 5: speak further, thou convalescent, so answered his animals. But do
- 1:46:29Speaker 5: go out where the world waiteth for thee like a garden.
- 1:46:33Speaker 5: Go out unto the roses, the bees, and the flocks
- 1:46:37Speaker 5: of doves. Especially, however, under the singing birds, to learn
- 1:46:42Speaker 5: singing from them, For singing is for the convalescent. The
- 1:46:46Speaker 5: sound ones may talk, And when the sounds also want songs,
- 1:46:51Speaker 5: then one they are other songs than the convalescent. Oh ye,
- 1:46:56Speaker 5: wags and barrel organs, do be silent, answered zarathua Ustra,
- 1:47:00Speaker 5: and smile at his animals. How well ye know what
- 1:47:04Speaker 5: consolation I devise for myself in seven days that I
- 1:47:09Speaker 5: have to sing? Once more? That consolation did I devise
- 1:47:13Speaker 5: for myself? And this convalescence, would ye also make another
- 1:47:18Speaker 5: liar lay thereof? Do not talk further, answered his animals
- 1:47:24Speaker 5: once more, Rather, thou convalescent, prepare for thyself a first
- 1:47:29Speaker 5: a liar, a new liar. For behold, o, Zarathustra, for
- 1:47:34Speaker 5: thy new lays there are needed new liars sing and
- 1:47:38Speaker 5: bubble over, O Zarathustra, heal thy soul with new lays,
- 1:47:44Speaker 5: that thou mayst bear a great fate which hath not
- 1:47:47Speaker 5: yet been anyone's fate, For thine animals know it well,
- 1:47:51Speaker 5: O Zarathustra, who thou art and must become. Behold, thou
- 1:47:58Speaker 5: art the teacher of the eternal return, that is now
- 1:48:04Speaker 5: thy fate, that thou must be the first to teach
- 1:48:07Speaker 5: this teaching. How could this great fate not be the
- 1:48:11Speaker 5: greatest danger and infirmity? Behold, we know what thou teachest,
- 1:48:17Speaker 5: that all things eternally return, and ourselves with them, and
- 1:48:23Speaker 5: that we have already existed times without number, and all
- 1:48:27Speaker 5: things with us. Thou teachest that there is a great
- 1:48:30Speaker 5: year of becoming a prodigy of a great year. It must,
- 1:48:35Speaker 5: like sand glass, ever turn up anew, that it may
- 1:48:39Speaker 5: anew run down and run out, so that all those
- 1:48:43Speaker 5: years are like one another in the greatest and also
- 1:48:46Speaker 5: in the smallest, So that we ourselves, in every great year,
- 1:48:51Speaker 5: are like ourselves in the greatest and also in the smallest.
- 1:48:56Speaker 5: And if thou wouldst now die, oh Zarathustra, behold we
- 1:49:01Speaker 5: know also how thou wouldst then speak to thyself, But
- 1:49:05Speaker 5: thine animals besiege thee. Not to die, Yet, thou wouldst speak,
- 1:49:10Speaker 5: and without trembling, boint rather with bliss, for a great
- 1:49:15Speaker 5: weight and worry would be taken from thee. Thou patientest one.
- 1:49:20Speaker 5: Now do I die and disappear? Would thou say, And
- 1:49:24Speaker 5: in a moment, I am nothing. Souls are as mortal
- 1:49:27Speaker 5: as bodies. But the plexus of causes returneth in which
- 1:49:32Speaker 5: I am intertwined. It will again create me. I myself
- 1:49:37Speaker 5: pertain to causes of the eternal return. I come again
- 1:49:40Speaker 5: with the Sun, with this earth, with this eagle, with
- 1:49:44Speaker 5: this serpent. Not to a new life, or a better life,
- 1:49:49Speaker 5: or a similar life. I come again eternally to this
- 1:49:52Speaker 5: identical and self same life, in its greatest and its smallest,
- 1:49:58Speaker 5: to teach again the eternal recur turn of all things,
- 1:50:02Speaker 5: to speak again the word of that great Noontide of
- 1:50:05Speaker 5: earth and man, to announce again to man the superman.
- 1:50:10Speaker 5: I have spoken my word. I break down by my word.
- 1:50:15Speaker 5: So willeth mine eternal fate As announcer? Do I succumb
- 1:50:19Speaker 5: the hour? Hath now come for the great down goer
- 1:50:22Speaker 5: to bless himself. Thus endeth Zarathustra's down gooing. When the
- 1:50:32Speaker 5: animals had spoken these words, they were silent and waited
- 1:50:36Speaker 5: so Zarathustra might say something to them. But Zarathustra did
- 1:50:40Speaker 5: not hear that they were silent. On the contrary, he
- 1:50:44Speaker 5: lay quietly with closed eyes, like a person sleeping, although
- 1:50:49Speaker 5: he did not sleep, for he communed just then with
- 1:50:53Speaker 5: his soul. The serpent, however, and the eagle, when they
- 1:50:58Speaker 5: found him silent in such way, respected the great stillness
- 1:51:02Speaker 5: around him, and prudently retired. End of Part three, chapter
- 1:51:09Speaker 5: fifty seven. Part three, Chapter fifty eight. The great longing,
- 1:51:16Speaker 5: Oh my soul, I have taught THEE to say today
- 1:51:20Speaker 5: as once on a time and formerly, and to dance
- 1:51:25Speaker 5: thy measure over every here and there and yonder. Oh
- 1:51:30Speaker 5: my soul, I delivered THEE from all by places. I
- 1:51:34Speaker 5: brushed down from thee, dust and spiders and twilight. Oh
- 1:51:40Speaker 5: my soul, I washed the petty shame and the bye
- 1:51:44Speaker 5: place virtue from THEE, and persuaded THEE to stand naked
- 1:51:48Speaker 5: before the eyes of the sun. With the storm that
- 1:51:52Speaker 5: is called spirit. Did I blow over thy surging sea
- 1:51:58Speaker 5: all clouds did I blow away from it? I strangled,
- 1:52:02Speaker 5: even the strangler called sin. O my soul, I gave
- 1:52:07Speaker 5: THEE the right to say nay like the storm, and
- 1:52:11Speaker 5: to say yea, as the open heaven saith, yea calm,
- 1:52:16Speaker 5: as the light remainest Thou and thou walkest through, denying storms. O,
- 1:52:22Speaker 5: my soul, I restore to THEE liberty over the created
- 1:52:26Speaker 5: and the uncreated. And who knoweth as thou knowest, the
- 1:52:31Speaker 5: voluptuousness of the future. Oh, my soul, I taught THEE
- 1:52:36Speaker 5: the contempt which doth not come like worm eating the great,
- 1:52:41Speaker 5: the love and contempt which loveth most when it contempteth most. O,
- 1:52:46Speaker 5: my soul, I taught THEE so to persuade, that thou
- 1:52:50Speaker 5: persuadest even the grounds themselves to THEE, like the sun,
- 1:52:56Speaker 5: which persuadeth even the sea to its height. O, my soul,
- 1:53:01Speaker 5: I have taken from THEE all obeying and knee bending
- 1:53:04Speaker 5: and homage paying. I have myself given THEE the names
- 1:53:09Speaker 5: change of need and fate. O, my soul, I have
- 1:53:15Speaker 5: given THEE new names and gay colored playthings. I have
- 1:53:19Speaker 5: called THEE fate, and the circuit of circuits, and the
- 1:53:24Speaker 5: navel string of time, and the azure bell O, my soul,
- 1:53:31Speaker 5: to thy domain gave i all wisdom to drink, all
- 1:53:34Speaker 5: new wines, and also all immemorially old strong wines of wisdom, O,
- 1:53:42Speaker 5: my soul, every sun shed eye upon THEE, and every
- 1:53:46Speaker 5: night and every silence and every longing, then grewest thou
- 1:53:51Speaker 5: up for me as a vine, O, my soul, exuberant
- 1:53:56Speaker 5: and heavy. Dost thou now stand forth a vine with
- 1:54:00Speaker 5: swelling adders and full clusters of brown golden grapes, filled
- 1:54:06Speaker 5: and weighed by thy happiness, waiting for superabundance, and yet
- 1:54:10Speaker 5: ashamed of thy waiting. Oh, my soul, there is nowhere
- 1:54:16Speaker 5: a soul which could be more loving, and more comprehensive
- 1:54:19Speaker 5: and more extensive. Where could future and past be closer
- 1:54:23Speaker 5: together than with THEE? Oh, my soul, I have given
- 1:54:27Speaker 5: THEE everything, and all my hands have become empty by THEE.
- 1:54:32Speaker 5: And now now sayest thou to me, smiling and full
- 1:54:37Speaker 5: of melancholy, which of us owe thanks? Doth a giver
- 1:54:42Speaker 5: not o thanks? Because the receiver received is bestowing, not
- 1:54:47Speaker 5: a necessity, is receiving, not pitying, O, my soul, I
- 1:54:53Speaker 5: understand the smiling of thy melancholy, thy over abundance itself
- 1:54:57Speaker 5: now stretches out longing hands. Thy fullness looketh forth over
- 1:55:03Speaker 5: raging seas, and seeketh and waiteth the longing of over
- 1:55:08Speaker 5: fullness looketh forth from the smiling heaven of thine eyes.
- 1:55:13Speaker 5: And verily, O, my soul, who could see thy smiling,
- 1:55:17Speaker 5: are not melt into tears. The angels themselves melt into
- 1:55:21Speaker 5: tears through the over graciousness of thy smiling. Thy graciousness,
- 1:55:27Speaker 5: and over graciousness is it which will not complain and weep.
- 1:55:32Speaker 5: And yet O my soul longeth thy smiling, for tears
- 1:55:36Speaker 5: are thy trembling mouth, for sobs is not all weeping, complaining,
- 1:55:44Speaker 5: and all complaining accusing. Thus spaket thou to thyself. And therefore, O,
- 1:55:50Speaker 5: my soul, wilt thou rather smile than pour forth thy grief? Then,
- 1:55:56Speaker 5: in gushing tears, poureth forth all thy grief concerning thy fullness,
- 1:56:00Speaker 5: and concerning the craving of the vine for the vintager
- 1:56:04Speaker 5: and the vintage knife. But wilt thou not weep? Wilt
- 1:56:09Speaker 5: thou not weep forth thy purple melancholy? Then wilt thou
- 1:56:13Speaker 5: have to sing, O, my soul, behold, I smile myself
- 1:56:19Speaker 5: who foretell THEE this thou wilt have to sing with
- 1:56:23Speaker 5: passionate song, until all seas turn calm into hearkening unto
- 1:56:28Speaker 5: thy longing, until over calm longing seas the bar glideth
- 1:56:33Speaker 5: the golden marvel. Around the gold of which all good, bad,
- 1:56:38Speaker 5: and marvelous things frisk also many large and small animals,
- 1:56:44Speaker 5: and everything that hath light marvelous feet, so that it
- 1:56:47Speaker 5: can run on violet blue paths towards the golden marvel,
- 1:56:52Speaker 5: the spontaneous bark and its master. He, however, is the
- 1:56:57Speaker 5: vinteger who waiteth with the diamond knife, Thy great deliverer,
- 1:57:02Speaker 5: O my soul, the nameless one for whom the future
- 1:57:06Speaker 5: songs only will find names, and verily already hath thy
- 1:57:11Speaker 5: breath a fragrance of future songs. Already glowest thou and dreamest,
- 1:57:17Speaker 5: already drinkest Thou thirstily at all deep echoing wills of
- 1:57:21Speaker 5: consolation already reposeth thy melancholy are the bliss of future songs. O,
- 1:57:29Speaker 5: my soul. Now have I given THEE all and even
- 1:57:33Speaker 5: my last possession, and all my hands have become empty
- 1:57:37Speaker 5: by THEE that I bade THEE sing. Behold that was
- 1:57:43Speaker 5: my last thing to give. That I bade thee sing,
- 1:57:48Speaker 5: say now, say which of us? Now? Oheth? Thanks? Better? Still, however,
- 1:57:56Speaker 5: sing unto me, sing O my soul, and let me
- 1:58:01Speaker 5: thank thee. Thus spake Zarathustra. End of Part three, Chapter
- 1:58:09Speaker 5: fifty eight, Part three, Chapter fifty nine. The second dance
- 1:58:14Speaker 5: song one into thine eyes gazed, I lately O life,
- 1:58:23Speaker 5: gold sare I gleam in thy night eyes. My heart
- 1:58:26Speaker 5: stood still with delight, A gold bark sore, I gleam
- 1:58:31Speaker 5: on darkened waters, A sinking, drinking, reblinking golden swing bark
- 1:58:39Speaker 5: at my dance frantic foot, dost thou cast a glance,
- 1:58:44Speaker 5: a laughing, questioning, melting thrown glance. Twice only movest thou
- 1:58:51Speaker 5: rattle with thy little hand. Then did my feet swing
- 1:58:57Speaker 5: with dance fury. My heel reared aloft my toes. They
- 1:59:02Speaker 5: hearkened thee. They would know, hath not the dancer his
- 1:59:08Speaker 5: ear in his toe into thee? Did I spring thou
- 1:59:15Speaker 5: fledst thou back from my bound and towards me, waving
- 1:59:20Speaker 5: thy fleeing flying tresses around away from thee? Did I
- 1:59:26Speaker 5: spring and from thy snaky tresses? Then stood Thou there
- 1:59:31Speaker 5: half turned, and in thine eye caresses with crooked glances.
- 1:59:37Speaker 5: Dost thou teach me crooked courses, on crooked courses, learn
- 1:59:42Speaker 5: my feet, crafty fancies. I fear THEE near. I love
- 1:59:47Speaker 5: THEE far thy flight allureth me, thy seeking secureth me
- 1:59:53Speaker 5: I suffer, but for THEE? What would I not gladly bear?
- 1:59:58Speaker 5: For THEE? Whose coldness inflameth, Whose hatred misleadeth, whose flight enshameeth,
- 2:00:05Speaker 5: whose mockery pleadeth. Who would not hate thee? Thou great
- 2:00:11Speaker 5: bind dress in wind dress, temptress, seekress, fine dress, Who
- 2:00:19Speaker 5: would not love thee? Thou innocent, impatient, wind, swift, child
- 2:00:24Speaker 5: eyed sinner? Whither pullest thou me now thou paragon and tomboy,
- 2:00:31Speaker 5: And now foolest thou my fleeing Thou sweet romp, dost annoy?
- 2:00:37Speaker 5: I dance after THEE. I follow even faint traces, lonely.
- 2:00:42Speaker 5: Where art thou give me thy hand or thy finger?
- 2:00:46Speaker 5: Only here are caves and thickets. We shall go astray, halt,
- 2:00:52Speaker 5: stand still, seest thou not owls and bats in the
- 2:00:56Speaker 5: fluttering fray thou bat Thou wouldst thou play me foul
- 2:01:03Speaker 5: where are we from the dogs. Hast thou learned thus
- 2:01:07Speaker 5: to bark and howl? Thou gnashest on me sweetly with
- 2:01:12Speaker 5: little white teeth. Thine evil eye shooteth out upon me,
- 2:01:16Speaker 5: thy curly little mane from underneath. This is thy dance
- 2:01:20Speaker 5: over stock and stone. I am the hunter. Wilt thou
- 2:01:23Speaker 5: be my hound? Or my chamiennon? Now beside me? And
- 2:01:29Speaker 5: quickly wickedly springing now up and over alas haveth fallen
- 2:01:35Speaker 5: over myself over swinging. Oh see me lying thou, arrogant one,
- 2:01:41Speaker 5: and imploring grace gladly? Would I walk with thee in
- 2:01:45Speaker 5: some lovelier place, in the paths of love through bushes
- 2:01:50Speaker 5: variegated quiet trim, or there along the lake where gold
- 2:01:56Speaker 5: fishes dance and swim. Art thou now weary? There above
- 2:02:01Speaker 5: are sheep and sunset strips? Is it not sweet to
- 2:02:05Speaker 5: sleep the shepherd pipes? Thou art so very weary? I
- 2:02:10Speaker 5: carry thee thither. Let just thine arms sink, and art
- 2:02:15Speaker 5: thou thirsty? I should have something, but thy mouth would
- 2:02:20Speaker 5: not like it to drink, Oh, that cursed, nimble, supple
- 2:02:26Speaker 5: serpent and lurking witch. Where art thou gone? But in
- 2:02:31Speaker 5: my face do I feel through thy hand two spots
- 2:02:35Speaker 5: and red blotches of itch? I am verily weary of it. Ever,
- 2:02:40Speaker 5: thy sheepish shepherd, to be thou witch, if I have
- 2:02:45Speaker 5: hitherto sung unto thee, Now shalt thou cry unto me
- 2:02:52Speaker 5: to the rhythm of my whip, Shalt thou dance and cry,
- 2:02:56Speaker 5: I forget not my whip not I Two? Then did
- 2:03:05Speaker 5: life answer me thus, and thereby kept her fine ears closed,
- 2:03:10Speaker 5: O Zarathustra cracked not so terribly with thy whip. Thou
- 2:03:15Speaker 5: knowest surely that noise killeth thought, and just now there
- 2:03:20Speaker 5: came to me such delicate thoughts. We are both of
- 2:03:23Speaker 5: us genuine, ne'er do wells and ne'er do ills, beyond
- 2:03:28Speaker 5: good and evil found. We are our island and our
- 2:03:31Speaker 5: green meadow. We two alone. Therefore, must we be friendly
- 2:03:36Speaker 5: to each other? And even should we not love each
- 2:03:40Speaker 5: other from the bottom of our hearts, must we then
- 2:03:44Speaker 5: have a grudge against each other if we do not
- 2:03:46Speaker 5: love each other perfectly? And that I am friendly to
- 2:03:50Speaker 5: thee and often too friendly, that knowest thou, and the
- 2:03:55Speaker 5: reason that I am envious of thy wisdom? Ah, this
- 2:03:59Speaker 5: mad old fool all wisdom. If thy wisdom should one
- 2:04:03Speaker 5: day run away from thee Ah, then also would my
- 2:04:07Speaker 5: love run away from thee Quickly thereupon did life look
- 2:04:11Speaker 5: thoughtfully behind and around, and said softly, oh, Zarathustra, thou
- 2:04:18Speaker 5: art not faithful enough to me. Thou lovest me, not
- 2:04:21Speaker 5: nearly so much as thou sayest I know thou thinkest
- 2:04:25Speaker 5: of soon leaving me. There is an old, heavy, heavy
- 2:04:30Speaker 5: booming clock. It boometh by night up to thy cave.
- 2:04:36Speaker 5: When thou hearest this clock strike the hours at midnight.
- 2:04:40Speaker 5: Then thinkest thou between one and twelve thereon? Thou thinkest thereon,
- 2:04:45Speaker 5: O Zarathustra, I know it of soon leaving me, yea,
- 2:04:52Speaker 5: answered I hesitatingly. But thou knowest it also, And I
- 2:04:58Speaker 5: said something into her ear in amongst her confused, yellow
- 2:05:03Speaker 5: foolish tresses. Thou knowest that, O, Zarathustra, that knoweth no one.
- 2:05:13Speaker 5: And we gazed at each other, and looked at the
- 2:05:16Speaker 5: green meadow o'er which the cool evening was just passing,
- 2:05:21Speaker 5: and we wept together. Then, however, was life dearer unto
- 2:05:27Speaker 5: me than all my wisdom had ever been. Thus spake
- 2:05:33Speaker 5: Zarathustra three one O man take heed. Two what saith
- 2:05:45Speaker 5: deep midnight's voice? Indeed, Three I slept my sleep. Four
- 2:05:52Speaker 5: from the deepest dream, I woke and plead. Five The
- 2:05:57Speaker 5: world is deep sick, Yes, and deeper than the day
- 2:06:02Speaker 5: could read. Seven deeper is its woe. Eight joy deeper
- 2:06:11Speaker 5: still than grief can be. Nine woe saith hence go. Ten.
- 2:06:19Speaker 5: But all joys want eternity. Eleven want deep profound eternity. Twelve.
- 2:06:33Speaker 5: End of Part three, Chapter fifty nine, Part three, Chapter sixty.
- 2:06:39Speaker 5: The seven seals parenne, or the yay and our men
- 2:06:44Speaker 5: lay end perenne. One. If I be a diviner and
- 2:06:51Speaker 5: full of the divining spirit, which wandereth on high mountain
- 2:06:54Speaker 5: ridges TwixT two seas, wandereth TwixT the past and the future,
- 2:07:00Speaker 5: as a heavy cloud, hostile to sultry plains, and to
- 2:07:04Speaker 5: all that is weary and can neither die nor live.
- 2:07:08Speaker 5: Ready for lightning in its dark bosom, and for the
- 2:07:11Speaker 5: redeeming flash of light. Charged with lightnings, which say yea,
- 2:07:16Speaker 5: which laugh YEA. Ready for the divining flashes of lightning.
- 2:07:21Speaker 5: Blessed however is he who is thus charged, and verily
- 2:07:25Speaker 5: long must he hang like a tempest on the mountain,
- 2:07:29Speaker 5: who shall one day kindle the light of the future. Oh,
- 2:07:33Speaker 5: how can I not be ardent for eternity and for
- 2:07:36Speaker 5: the marriage ring of rings, the ring of the return.
- 2:07:40Speaker 5: Never yet have I found the woman by whom I
- 2:07:42Speaker 5: should like to have children, Unless it be this woman
- 2:07:46Speaker 5: whom I love, For I love thee o eternity, For
- 2:07:50Speaker 5: I love thee o Eternity. Two. If ever my wrath
- 2:07:56Speaker 5: hath burst graves, shifted landmarks, or rolled old shattered tables
- 2:08:01Speaker 5: into precipitous depths. If ever my scorn hath scattered moldering
- 2:08:06Speaker 5: words to the winds. And if I have come like
- 2:08:09Speaker 5: a besom to cross spiders, and as a cleansing wind
- 2:08:13Speaker 5: to old charnel houses, if ever I have sat rejoicing
- 2:08:17Speaker 5: where old gods lie buried, world blessing world, loving beside
- 2:08:23Speaker 5: the monuments of the old world maligners. For even churches
- 2:08:27Speaker 5: and God's graves do I love? If only Heaven looketh
- 2:08:32Speaker 5: through their ruined roofs with pure eyes. Gladly do I
- 2:08:36Speaker 5: sit like grass and red poppies on ruined churches. Oh,
- 2:08:40Speaker 5: how could I not be ardent for eternity and for
- 2:08:44Speaker 5: the marriage ring of rings, the ring of the return.
- 2:08:47Speaker 5: Never yet have I found the woman by whom I
- 2:08:49Speaker 5: should like to have children, unless it be this woman
- 2:08:52Speaker 5: whom I love, for I love thee o Eternity, for
- 2:08:57Speaker 5: I love thee o Eternity. Three if ever a breath
- 2:09:03Speaker 5: hath come to me, of the creative breath, and of
- 2:09:06Speaker 5: the heavenly necessity which compelleth even chances to dance star dances.
- 2:09:12Speaker 5: If ever I have laughed with the laughter of the
- 2:09:15Speaker 5: creative lightning, to which the long thunder of the deed followeth,
- 2:09:19Speaker 5: grumbling but obediently. If ever I have played dice with
- 2:09:24Speaker 5: the gods at the divine table of the earth, so
- 2:09:28Speaker 5: that the earth quaked and ruptured and snorted forth fire streams.
- 2:09:33Speaker 5: For a divine table is the earth and trembling with
- 2:09:37Speaker 5: new creative dictums and dice casts of the gods. Oh,
- 2:09:42Speaker 5: how could I not be ardent for eternity and for
- 2:09:45Speaker 5: the marriage ring of rings, the ring of the return.
- 2:09:48Speaker 5: Never yet have I found the woman by whom I
- 2:09:50Speaker 5: should like to have children, unless it be this woman
- 2:09:53Speaker 5: whom I love, for I love thee o Eternity, for
- 2:09:57Speaker 5: I love thee o Eternity. Four if ever I have
- 2:10:04Speaker 5: drunk a full draft of the foaming spice and confection bowl,
- 2:10:08Speaker 5: in which all things are well mixed. If ever my
- 2:10:11Speaker 5: hand hath mingled the furthest with the nearest, fire with spirit,
- 2:10:16Speaker 5: joy with sorrow, and the harshest with the kindest, if
- 2:10:21Speaker 5: I myself am a grain of the saving salt, which
- 2:10:24Speaker 5: make everything in the confection bowl mix well, For there
- 2:10:28Speaker 5: is a salt that uniteth good with evil, and even
- 2:10:32Speaker 5: the most evil is worthy as spicing and as final
- 2:10:35Speaker 5: over foaming. Oh, how could I not be ardent for
- 2:10:39Speaker 5: eternity and for the marriage ring of rings, the ring
- 2:10:43Speaker 5: of the return. Never yet have I found that the
- 2:10:46Speaker 5: woman by whom I should like to have children, unless
- 2:10:50Speaker 5: it be this woman whom I love, For I love
- 2:10:52Speaker 5: thee o eternity. For I love thee o eternity. Five.
- 2:11:00Speaker 5: And if I be fond of the sea and all
- 2:11:03Speaker 5: that is sea like, and fondest of it when it
- 2:11:07Speaker 5: angrily contradicteth me, if the exploring delight be in me,
- 2:11:12Speaker 5: which impelleth sails to the undiscovered, if the seafarer's delight
- 2:11:18Speaker 5: be in my delight, if ever my rejoicing hath called
- 2:11:22Speaker 5: out the shore, hath vanished, now, hath fallen from me
- 2:11:26Speaker 5: the last chain, the boundless roareth around me far away,
- 2:11:31Speaker 5: sparkle for me space and time. Well, cheer up, old heart, Oh,
- 2:11:37Speaker 5: how could I not be ardent for eternity and for
- 2:11:41Speaker 5: the marriage ring of rings, the ring of the returns.
- 2:11:45Speaker 5: Never yet have I found the woman by whom I
- 2:11:47Speaker 5: should like to have children, unless it be this woman
- 2:11:51Speaker 5: whom I love, for I love thee o eternity, For
- 2:11:55Speaker 5: I love thee o eternity. If my virtue be a
- 2:12:03Speaker 5: dancer's virtue, and if I have often sprung with both
- 2:12:06Speaker 5: feet into golden emerald rapture. If my wickedness be a
- 2:12:12Speaker 5: laughing wickedness at home among rosebanks and hedges of lilies,
- 2:12:17Speaker 5: For in laughter is all evil present, but it is
- 2:12:21Speaker 5: sanctified and absolved by its own bliss. And if it
- 2:12:25Speaker 5: be my alpha and Omega, that everything heavy shall become light,
- 2:12:30Speaker 5: everybody a dancer, and every spirit a bird, And verily
- 2:12:36Speaker 5: that is my Alpha and Omega. Oh, how could I
- 2:12:41Speaker 5: not be ardent for eternity and for the marriage ring
- 2:12:45Speaker 5: of rings, the ring of the return Never yet have
- 2:12:49Speaker 5: I found the woman by whom I should like to
- 2:12:51Speaker 5: have children, unless it be this woman whom I love
- 2:12:55Speaker 5: for I love thee o Eternity, for I love thee
- 2:13:00Speaker 5: o Eternity. Seven If ever I have spread out a
- 2:13:06Speaker 5: tranquil heaven above me, and have flown into mine own heaven,
- 2:13:10Speaker 5: with mine own opinions, if I have swung playfully in profound,
- 2:13:14Speaker 5: luminous distances, and if my freedom's Avian wisdom hath come
- 2:13:19Speaker 5: to me. Thus, however, speaketh Avian wisdom. Lo, there is
- 2:13:25Speaker 5: no above and no below. Throw thyself about outward, backward
- 2:13:30Speaker 5: thou light one, sing, speak no more? Are not all
- 2:13:35Speaker 5: words made for the heavy? Do not all words lie
- 2:13:39Speaker 5: to the light? Ones? Sing? Speak no more? Oh? How
- 2:13:45Speaker 5: could I not be ardent for eternity and for the
- 2:13:48Speaker 5: marriage ring of rings, the ring of the return? Never
- 2:13:53Speaker 5: yet have I found the woman by whom I should
- 2:13:55Speaker 5: like to have children? Unless it be this woman whom
- 2:13:58Speaker 5: I love for thee O Eternity, for I love thee
- 2:14:04Speaker 5: O Eternity. End of Part three, Chapter sixty The seven Seals, fourth.
- 2:14:13Speaker 4: And last part Ah, where in the world have there
- 2:14:20Speaker 4: been greater follies than with the pitiful? And what in
- 2:14:23Speaker 4: the world hath caused more suffering than the follies of
- 2:14:26Speaker 4: the pitiful? Woe unto all loving ones who have not
- 2:14:31Speaker 4: an elevation which is above their pity. Thus spake the
- 2:14:38Speaker 4: devil unto me once on a time. Ever, God hath
- 2:14:42Speaker 4: his hell. It is his love for man. And lately
- 2:14:48Speaker 4: did I hear him say these words. God is dead
- 2:14:53Speaker 4: of his pity for man hath God died Zarathustra Part two,
- 2:15:00Speaker 4: The Pitiful Chapter sixty one, the Honey Sacrifice. And again
- 2:15:13Speaker 4: passed moons and years over Zarathustra's soul, and he heeded it. Not.
- 2:15:19Speaker 4: His hair, however, became white. One day, when he sat
- 2:15:25Speaker 4: on a stone in front of his cave and gazed
- 2:15:28Speaker 4: calmly into the distance. One there gazeth out on the
- 2:15:32Speaker 4: sea and away beyond sinuous abysses. Then went his animals
- 2:15:40Speaker 4: thoughtfully round about him, and at last set themselves in
- 2:15:44Speaker 4: front of him. Oh, Zarathustra, they said, gazest thou out,
- 2:15:50Speaker 4: perhaps for thy happiness? Of what account is my happiness?
- 2:15:55Speaker 4: Answered he, I have long ceased to strive any more
- 2:15:59Speaker 4: for happiness. I strive for my work. O Zarathustra, said
- 2:16:04Speaker 4: the animals once more, that sayest thou, as one who
- 2:16:09Speaker 4: hath over much of good things? Liest thou not in
- 2:16:13Speaker 4: a sky blue lake? Of happiness, ye wags, answered Zarathustra,
- 2:16:19Speaker 4: and smiled, how well did ye choose the simile? But
- 2:16:25Speaker 4: ye know also that my happiness is heavy, and not
- 2:16:30Speaker 4: like a fluid wave of water. It presseth me and
- 2:16:35Speaker 4: will not leave me, and is like molten pitch. Then
- 2:16:41Speaker 4: went his animals again thoughtfully around him, and placed themselves
- 2:16:45Speaker 4: once more in front of him. Oh, Zarathustra said they.
- 2:16:51Speaker 4: It is consequently for that reason that thou thyself always
- 2:16:56Speaker 4: becometh yellower and darker, although thy hair looketh white and flaxen.
- 2:17:04Speaker 4: Lo thou sittest in thy pitch? What do ye say,
- 2:17:10Speaker 4: mine animals, said Zarathustra, laughing verily. I reviled when I
- 2:17:17Speaker 4: spake of pitch, as it happeneth with me. So is
- 2:17:22Speaker 4: it with all fruits that turn ripe. It is the
- 2:17:26Speaker 4: honey in my veins that maketh my blood thicker, and
- 2:17:30Speaker 4: also my soul stiller. So will it be o, Zarathustra,
- 2:17:37Speaker 4: answered his animals, and pressed up to him. But wilt
- 2:17:42Speaker 4: thou not to day ascend a high mountain? The air
- 2:17:46Speaker 4: is pure, and to day one seeth more of the
- 2:17:49Speaker 4: world than ever. Yea mine animals answered he. Ye, counsel
- 2:17:56Speaker 4: admirably and according to my heart, I will to day
- 2:18:00Speaker 4: ascend a high mountain. But see that honey is there
- 2:18:05Speaker 4: ready to hand yellow, white, good ice, cool golden comb honey.
- 2:18:12Speaker 4: For know that when aloft, I will make the honey sacrifice.
- 2:18:19Speaker 4: When Zarathustra, however, was aloft on the summit, he sent
- 2:18:24Speaker 4: his animals home that had accompanied him, and found that
- 2:18:29Speaker 4: he was now alone. Then he laughed from the bottom
- 2:18:33Speaker 4: of his heart, looked round him, and spake. Thus that
- 2:18:38Speaker 4: I spake of sacrifices and honey sacrifices. It was merely
- 2:18:43Speaker 4: a ruse in talking, and verily a useful folly. Here aloft,
- 2:18:49Speaker 4: can I now speak freer than in front of mountain
- 2:18:52Speaker 4: caves and anchorites domestic animals. What to sacrifice? I squander
- 2:19:00Speaker 4: what is given me A squanderer with a thousand hands?
- 2:19:05Speaker 4: How could I call that sacrificing? And when I desired honey,
- 2:19:11Speaker 4: I only desired bait and sweet mucus and mucilage, for
- 2:19:17Speaker 4: which even the mouths of growling bears and strange sulky
- 2:19:21Speaker 4: evil birds water the best bait, as huntsmen and fishermen
- 2:19:27Speaker 4: require it. For if the world be as a gloomy
- 2:19:31Speaker 4: forest of animals, and a pleasure ground for all wild huntsmen.
- 2:19:37Speaker 4: It seemeth to me rather and preferably a fathomless, rich sea,
- 2:19:44Speaker 4: a sea full of many hued fishes and crabs for
- 2:19:48Speaker 4: which even the gods might long and might be tempted
- 2:19:51Speaker 4: to become fishers in it, and casters of nets. So
- 2:19:55Speaker 4: rich is the world in wonderful things great and small,
- 2:20:00Speaker 4: especially the human world, the human sea. Towards it? Do
- 2:20:06Speaker 4: I now throw out my golden angle rod, and say,
- 2:20:09Speaker 4: open up, thou human abyss, open up and throw unto
- 2:20:13Speaker 4: me thy fish and shining crabs with my best bait.
- 2:20:17Speaker 4: Shall I allure to myself to day the strangest human
- 2:20:21Speaker 4: fish my happiness itself? Do I throw out into all
- 2:20:25Speaker 4: places far and wide, TwixT orient, noontide and occident, to
- 2:20:31Speaker 4: see if many human fish will not learn to hug
- 2:20:34Speaker 4: and tug at my happiness, until biting at my sharp
- 2:20:40Speaker 4: hidden hooks, they have to come up unto my height,
- 2:20:45Speaker 4: the motleyest abyss, groundlings, to the wickedest of all fishes
- 2:20:50Speaker 4: of men. For this am I from the heart, and
- 2:20:54Speaker 4: from the beginning, drawing hither, drawing upward, drawing up, bringing
- 2:21:00Speaker 4: a drawer, a trainer, a training master who not in
- 2:21:05Speaker 4: vain counseled myself once upon a time become what thou art. Thus,
- 2:21:13Speaker 4: may men now come up to me? For as yet
- 2:21:19Speaker 4: do I await the signs that it is time for
- 2:21:21Speaker 4: my down going? As yet do I not myself go
- 2:21:26Speaker 4: down as I must do amongst men. Therefore do I
- 2:21:33Speaker 4: here wait, crafty and scornful upon high mountains, no impatient one,
- 2:21:39Speaker 4: no patient one, rather one who hath even unlearnt patience,
- 2:21:46Speaker 4: because he no longer suffereth for my fate. Giveth me
- 2:21:51Speaker 4: time it hath forgotten me perhaps, or doth it sit
- 2:21:57Speaker 4: behind a big stone and catch flies? And verily I
- 2:22:02Speaker 4: am well disposed to mine eternal fate, because it doth
- 2:22:05Speaker 4: not hound and hurry me, but leaveth me time for
- 2:22:08Speaker 4: merriment and mischief, so that I have to day ascended
- 2:22:12Speaker 4: this high mountain to catch fish? Did ever any one
- 2:22:18Speaker 4: catch fish upon high mountains? And though it be a
- 2:22:21Speaker 4: folly what I here seek and do, it is better
- 2:22:25Speaker 4: so than that down below. I should become solemn with waiting,
- 2:22:30Speaker 4: with green and yellow, a posturing wrath snorter, with waiting,
- 2:22:34Speaker 4: a holy howl storm from the mountains, an impatient one
- 2:22:39Speaker 4: that shouteth down into the valleys hearken, else I will
- 2:22:43Speaker 4: scourge you with the scourge of God. Not that I
- 2:22:47Speaker 4: would have a grudge against such wrathful ones. On that account,
- 2:22:51Speaker 4: they are well enough for laughter to me impatient? Must
- 2:22:56Speaker 4: they now be those big alarm drums which find voice
- 2:22:59Speaker 4: now now or never? Myself, however, and my fate, we
- 2:23:06Speaker 4: do not talk to the present. Neither do we talk
- 2:23:09Speaker 4: to the never. For talking. We have patience and time,
- 2:23:14Speaker 4: and more than time. For one day? Must it yet
- 2:23:19Speaker 4: come and may not pass by? What must one day
- 2:23:26Speaker 4: come and may not pass by our great Hazar, that
- 2:23:32Speaker 4: is to say, our great remote human kingdom, the Zarathustra
- 2:23:37Speaker 4: kingdom of a thousand years? How remote may such remoteness be?
- 2:23:44Speaker 4: What doth it concern me? But on that account it
- 2:23:48Speaker 4: is none the less sure. Unto me, with both feet
- 2:23:51Speaker 4: stand I secure on this ground, on an eternal ground,
- 2:23:57Speaker 4: on hard primary rock, on this highest, hardest primary mountain ridge,
- 2:24:02Speaker 4: unto which all winds come as unto the storm parting,
- 2:24:07Speaker 4: asking where and whence and whither here? Laugh laugh my hearty,
- 2:24:13Speaker 4: healthy wickedness from high mountains, cast down thy glittering scorn, laughter,
- 2:24:18Speaker 4: allure for me with thy glittering the finest human fish,
- 2:24:23Speaker 4: and whatever belongeth unto me in all seas, my in
- 2:24:28Speaker 4: and for me in all things, fish that out for me,
- 2:24:34Speaker 4: Bring that up to me. For that do I wait,
- 2:24:38Speaker 4: the wickedest of all fish catchers, out out my fishing hook.
- 2:24:45Speaker 4: In and down thou bait of my happiness. Drip thy
- 2:24:49Speaker 4: sweetest dew, thou honey of my heart. Bite my fishing
- 2:24:54Speaker 4: hook into the belly of all black affliction. Look out,
- 2:24:58Speaker 4: look out, mine eye, Oh, how many seas round about me?
- 2:25:03Speaker 4: What dawning human futures? And above me? What rosy red stillness?
- 2:25:11Speaker 4: What unclouded silence? End Chapter sixty one, Chapter sixty two,
- 2:25:26Speaker 4: The cry of distress. The next day sat Zarathustra again
- 2:25:32Speaker 4: on the stone in front of his cave, whilst his
- 2:25:35Speaker 4: animals roved about in the world outside to bring home
- 2:25:38Speaker 4: new food, also new honey, for Zarathustra had spent and
- 2:25:44Speaker 4: wasted the old honey to the very last particle. When
- 2:25:48Speaker 4: he thus sat, however, with a stick in his hand,
- 2:25:52Speaker 4: tracing the shadow of his figure on the earth, and
- 2:25:54Speaker 4: reflecting verily not upon himself in his shadow. All at
- 2:26:00Speaker 4: once he startled and shrank back, for he saw another
- 2:26:05Speaker 4: shadow beside his own. And when he hastily looked around
- 2:26:10Speaker 4: and stood up, behold, there stood the soothsayer beside him,
- 2:26:16Speaker 4: the same whom he had once given to eat and
- 2:26:19Speaker 4: drink at his table, the proclaimer of the Great Weariness,
- 2:26:23Speaker 4: who taught all is alike, nothing is worth, while the
- 2:26:28Speaker 4: world is without meaning knowledge strangleth But his face had
- 2:26:34Speaker 4: changed since then, and when Zarathustra looked into his eyes,
- 2:26:39Speaker 4: his heart was startled once more. So much evil announcement
- 2:26:44Speaker 4: and ashy gray lightnings passed over that countenance. The soothsayer,
- 2:26:51Speaker 4: who had perceived what went on in Zarathustra's soul, wiped
- 2:26:55Speaker 4: his face with his hands, as if he would wipe
- 2:26:59Speaker 4: out the impression. The same did also Zarathustra. And when
- 2:27:05Speaker 4: both of them had thus silently composed and strengthened themselves,
- 2:27:10Speaker 4: they gave each other the hand as a token that
- 2:27:13Speaker 4: they wanted once more to recognize each other. Welcome thither,
- 2:27:19Speaker 4: said Zarathustra, Thou, Soothsayer of the Great Weariness, not in
- 2:27:24Speaker 4: vain shalt thou once have been my messmate and guest,
- 2:27:29Speaker 4: eat and drink also with me to day? And forgive
- 2:27:33Speaker 4: it that a cheerful old man sitteth with thee at
- 2:27:35Speaker 4: the table. A cheerful old man, answered the soothsayer, shaking
- 2:27:41Speaker 4: his head. But whoever thou art, or wouldst be o Zarathustra,
- 2:27:47Speaker 4: thou hast been here aloft the longest time. In a
- 2:27:51Speaker 4: little while, thy bark shall no longer rest on dry land?
- 2:27:57Speaker 4: Do I then rest on dry land? Asked Zarathustra, laughing
- 2:28:02Speaker 4: the waves around thy mountain, answered the soothsayer, Rise and
- 2:28:07Speaker 4: rise the waves of great distress and affliction. They will
- 2:28:11Speaker 4: soon raise thy bark also and carry thee away. Thereupon
- 2:28:16Speaker 4: was Zarathustra silent, and wondered, dost thou still hear nothing,
- 2:28:22Speaker 4: continued the soothsayer, doth it not rush and roar out
- 2:28:27Speaker 4: of the depth. Zarathustra was silent once more and listened.
- 2:28:34Speaker 4: Then heard he a long, long cry, which the abysses
- 2:28:38Speaker 4: threw to one another and passed on, for none of
- 2:28:42Speaker 4: them wished to retain it. So evil did it sound,
- 2:28:47Speaker 4: thou ill announcer, said Zarathustra. At last, that is a
- 2:28:53Speaker 4: cry of distress, and the cry of a man. It
- 2:28:57Speaker 4: may come perhaps out of a black sea. But what
- 2:29:01Speaker 4: doth human distress matter to me my last sin, which
- 2:29:06Speaker 4: hath been reserved for me. Knowest thou what it is
- 2:29:10Speaker 4: called pity? Answered the soothsayer from an overflowing heart, and
- 2:29:18Speaker 4: raised both his hands aloft o Zarathustra, I have come
- 2:29:23Speaker 4: that I may seduce THEE into thy last sin. And
- 2:29:29Speaker 4: hardly had those words been uttered, when there sounded the cry,
- 2:29:32Speaker 4: once more and longer and more alarming than before. Also
- 2:29:38Speaker 4: much nearer hearest thou, hearest thou, Oh, Zarathustra, called out
- 2:29:43Speaker 4: the soothsayer. The cry concerneth thee. It calleth thee? Come, Come, Come,
- 2:29:49Speaker 4: it is time, It is the highest time. Zarathustra was silent, thereupon,
- 2:29:56Speaker 4: confused and staggered. At last he asked, like one who
- 2:30:01Speaker 4: hesitateth in himself? And who is it that there calleth me?
- 2:30:09Speaker 4: But thou knowest it? Certainly, answered the sooth sayer warmly.
- 2:30:14Speaker 4: Why dost thou conceal thyself? It is the higher man
- 2:30:19Speaker 4: that crieth for thee. The higher man, cried Zarathustra, horror, stricken,
- 2:30:26Speaker 4: What wanteth he? What wanteth he? The higher man? What
- 2:30:29Speaker 4: wanteth he? Here? And his skin covered with perspiration, the
- 2:30:35Speaker 4: soothsayer however, did not heed Zarathustra's alarm, but listened and
- 2:30:40Speaker 4: listened in the downward direction. When, however, it had been
- 2:30:46Speaker 4: still there for a long while, he looked behind and
- 2:30:52Speaker 4: saw Zarathustra standing trembling. Oh, Zarathustra, he began with soul voice,
- 2:31:01Speaker 4: Thou dost not stand there like one whose happiness maketh
- 2:31:05Speaker 4: him giddy? Thou wilt have to dance, lest thou tumble down.
- 2:31:12Speaker 4: But although thou shouldst dance before me and leap all
- 2:31:15Speaker 4: thy side leaps, no one may say unto me. Behold
- 2:31:19Speaker 4: here danceth the last joyous man in vain? Would any
- 2:31:24Speaker 4: one come to this height who sought him?
- 2:31:27Speaker 6: Here?
- 2:31:29Speaker 4: Caves would he find, indeed, and back caves hiding places
- 2:31:33Speaker 4: for hidden ones, But not lucky minds, nor treasure chambers,
- 2:31:38Speaker 4: nor new gold veins of happiness happiness? How indeed could
- 2:31:44Speaker 4: one find happiness among such buried, alive and solitary ones.
- 2:31:49Speaker 4: Must I yet seek the last happiness on the happy
- 2:31:52Speaker 4: aisles and far away among forgotten seas? But all is alike,
- 2:31:59Speaker 4: nothing is worth, while no seeking is of service. There
- 2:32:04Speaker 4: are no longer any happy isles. Thus sighed the soothsayer
- 2:32:12Speaker 4: with his last sigh. However, Zarathustra again became serene and assured,
- 2:32:19Speaker 4: like one who hath come out of a deep chasm
- 2:32:22Speaker 4: into the light. Nay, nay, three times nay, exclaimed he
- 2:32:27Speaker 4: with a strong voice, and stroked his beard. That do
- 2:32:32Speaker 4: I know better? There are still happy isles, silence thereon
- 2:32:37Speaker 4: thou sighing sorrow sack cease to splash thereon thou rain
- 2:32:43Speaker 4: cloud of the forenoon. Do I not already stand here
- 2:32:47Speaker 4: wet with thy misery and drenched like a dog? Now
- 2:32:51Speaker 4: do I shake myself and run away from thee that
- 2:32:55Speaker 4: I may again become dry? Thereat mayest thou not wander?
- 2:33:00Speaker 4: Do I seem to thee discourteous? Here, however, is my court.
- 2:33:06Speaker 4: But as regards the higher Man, well I shall seek
- 2:33:10Speaker 4: him at once in those forests. From thence came his cry,
- 2:33:15Speaker 4: Perhaps he is there hard to beset by an evil beast.
- 2:33:19Speaker 4: He is in my domain. Therein shall he receive no scath,
- 2:33:24Speaker 4: And verily there are many evil beasts around me. With
- 2:33:30Speaker 4: those words, Zarathustra turned round to depart. Then said the soothsayer, Oh, Zarathustra,
- 2:33:39Speaker 4: thou art a rogue. I know it well, Thou wouldst
- 2:33:43Speaker 4: fain be rid of me? Rather wouldst thou run into
- 2:33:47Speaker 4: the forest and lay snares for evil beasts? But what
- 2:33:52Speaker 4: good will it do THEE? In the evening? Wilt thou
- 2:33:55Speaker 4: have me again in thine own cave? Will I sit
- 2:34:00Speaker 4: patient and heavy like a block, and wait for thee?
- 2:34:05Speaker 4: So be it shouted back Zarathustra as he went away,
- 2:34:09Speaker 4: And what is mine in my cave belongeth also unto
- 2:34:12Speaker 4: THEE my guest. Shouldst thou, however, find honey therein? Well,
- 2:34:17Speaker 4: just lick it up, thou growling bar, and sweeten thy soul,
- 2:34:22Speaker 4: For in the evening we want both to be in
- 2:34:24Speaker 4: good spirits, in good spirits and joyful, because this day
- 2:34:29Speaker 4: hath come to an end, and thou thyself shall dance
- 2:34:32Speaker 4: to my lays as my dancing bear. Thou dost not
- 2:34:36Speaker 4: believe this, Thou shakest thy head. Well, cheer up, old bear.
- 2:34:41Speaker 4: But I also amasooth sayer. Thus spake Zarathustra. End Chapter
- 2:34:53Speaker 4: sixty two, Chapter sixty three, Talk with the Kings. One
- 2:35:03Speaker 4: there Zarathustra had been an hour on his way in
- 2:35:07Speaker 4: the mountains and forests. He saw all at once a
- 2:35:10Speaker 4: strange procession right on the path which he was about
- 2:35:15Speaker 4: to descend, came two kings walking, bedecked with crowns and
- 2:35:19Speaker 4: purple girdles, and variegated like flamingoes. They drove before them
- 2:35:26Speaker 4: a laden ass. What do these kings want in my domain?
- 2:35:31Speaker 4: Said Zarathustra in astonishment to his heart, and hid himself
- 2:35:36Speaker 4: hastily behind a thicket. When, however, the King's approached to him,
- 2:35:41Speaker 4: he said, half aloud, like one speaking only to himself. Strange, strange,
- 2:35:47Speaker 4: how doth this harmonize? Two kings? Do I see? And
- 2:35:52Speaker 4: only one ass? Thereupon the two kings made a halt.
- 2:35:57Speaker 4: They smiled and looked towards the spot, whence the voice proceeded,
- 2:36:02Speaker 4: and afterwards looked into each other's faces. Such things do
- 2:36:08Speaker 4: we also think among ourselves, said the king on the right,
- 2:36:12Speaker 4: but we do not utter them. The canonal left, however,
- 2:36:17Speaker 4: shrugged his shoulders and answered, that may perhaps be a
- 2:36:20Speaker 4: goatherd or an anchorite, who hath lived too long among
- 2:36:25Speaker 4: rocks and trees for no society at all. Spoileth also
- 2:36:29Speaker 4: good manners, Good manners, replied angrily and bitterly the other king.
- 2:36:35Speaker 4: What then do we run out of the way? Of
- 2:36:38Speaker 4: is it not good manners, our good society, better verily
- 2:36:43Speaker 4: to live among anchorites and goatherds than with our gilded, false,
- 2:36:47Speaker 4: overrouged populace, though it call itself good society, though it
- 2:36:53Speaker 4: call itself nobility. But there all is false and foul,
- 2:36:58Speaker 4: above all the blood, thanks to old, evil diseases and
- 2:37:02Speaker 4: worse curers. The best and dearest to me at present
- 2:37:06Speaker 4: is still a sound peasant, coarse, artful, obstinate, and enduring.
- 2:37:13Speaker 4: That is, at present the noblest type. The peasant is
- 2:37:17Speaker 4: at present the best, and the peasant type should be master.
- 2:37:22Speaker 4: But it is the kingdom of the populace. I no
- 2:37:26Speaker 4: longer allow anything to be imposed upon me the populace, however,
- 2:37:32Speaker 4: that meaneth hodgepodge, populous hodgepodge. Therein is everything mixed with
- 2:37:38Speaker 4: everything saint and swindler, gentleman and jew and every beast
- 2:37:41Speaker 4: out of Noah's ark good manners. Everything is false and
- 2:37:46Speaker 4: foul with us. No one knoweth any longer how to reverence.
- 2:37:51Speaker 4: It is that precisely that we run away from. They
- 2:37:55Speaker 4: are falsome, obtrusive dogs. That gild palm leaves this loathing
- 2:38:00Speaker 4: choketh me that we kings ourselves have become false, draped
- 2:38:05Speaker 4: and disguised with the old, faded pomp of our ancestors,
- 2:38:09Speaker 4: show pieces for the stupidest, the craftiest, and whosoever at
- 2:38:14Speaker 4: present trafficketh for power. We are not the first men,
- 2:38:21Speaker 4: and have nevertheless to stand for them of this imposture.
- 2:38:26Speaker 4: Have we at last become weary and disgusted from the rabble?
- 2:38:31Speaker 4: Have we gone out of the way from all those
- 2:38:34Speaker 4: bawlers and scribe blow flies from the traitor's stench, the ambition, fidgeting,
- 2:38:40Speaker 4: the bad breath. FI to live among the rabble, FI
- 2:38:44Speaker 4: to stand for the first men among the rabble? Ah, loathing, loathing, loathing,
- 2:38:50Speaker 4: What doth it now matter about us Kings? Thine old
- 2:38:56Speaker 4: sickness seizeth THEE said here the king on the left.
- 2:39:01Speaker 4: Thy loathing seizeth thee, My poor brother. Thou knowest, however,
- 2:39:08Speaker 4: that some one heareth us. Immediately thereupon Zarathustra, who had
- 2:39:13Speaker 4: opened ears and eyes to this talk, rose from his
- 2:39:17Speaker 4: hiding place, advanced towards the kings, and thus began he
- 2:39:21Speaker 4: who hearkeneth unto you, He who gladly herketh unto you,
- 2:39:26Speaker 4: is called Zarathustra. I am Zarathustra, who once said, what
- 2:39:30Speaker 4: doth it now matter about kings? Forgive me? I rejoiced
- 2:39:34Speaker 4: when ye said to each other, what doth it matter
- 2:39:37Speaker 4: about us? Kings? Here, however, is my domain and jurisdiction.
- 2:39:42Speaker 4: What may ye be seeking in my domain? Perhaps, however,
- 2:39:47Speaker 4: ye have found on your way what I seek, namely
- 2:39:51Speaker 4: the Higher Man. When the kings heard this, they beat
- 2:39:56Speaker 4: upon their breasts and said, with one voice, we are
- 2:39:58Speaker 4: recognized with the sword of thine utterance. Severest thou the
- 2:40:04Speaker 4: thickest darkness of our hearts. Thou hast discovered our distress.
- 2:40:08Speaker 4: For lo, we are on our way to find the
- 2:40:11Speaker 4: Higher Man, the man that is higher than we. Although
- 2:40:14Speaker 4: we are kings to him, do we convey this as
- 2:40:19Speaker 4: for the highest man shall also be the highest lord
- 2:40:23Speaker 4: on earth. There is no sore or misfortune in all
- 2:40:28Speaker 4: human destiny than when the mighty of the earth are
- 2:40:32Speaker 4: not also the first men. Then everything becometh false and
- 2:40:37Speaker 4: distorted and monstrous. And when they are even the last
- 2:40:42Speaker 4: man and more beast than man, then riseth and riseth
- 2:40:47Speaker 4: the populace in honor, and at last saith even the
- 2:40:51Speaker 4: populace virtue. Lo I alone am virtue. What have I
- 2:40:59Speaker 4: just heard, answered Zarathustra, What wisdom in kings? I am enchanted?
- 2:41:05Speaker 4: And verily I have already promptings to make a rhyme thereon,
- 2:41:11Speaker 4: even if it should happen to be a rhyme not
- 2:41:14Speaker 4: suited for every one's ears, I unlearned long ago to
- 2:41:19Speaker 4: have consideration for long ears. Well then, well now here, however,
- 2:41:26Speaker 4: it happened that the ass also found utterance, It said
- 2:41:31Speaker 4: distinctly and with malevolence. Yea twas once methinks ye're one
- 2:41:40Speaker 4: of our blessed lord drunk without wine. The sybyl thus deplored.
- 2:41:47Speaker 4: How ill things go decline, decline? Ne'er sank the world
- 2:41:51Speaker 4: so low? Rome now hath turned Harlot, and Harlot's stew
- 2:41:57Speaker 4: Rome's Caesar a beast, and God hath turned Jew.
- 2:42:05Speaker 6: Two.
- 2:42:07Speaker 4: With those rhymes of Zarathustra, the kings were delighted. The
- 2:42:10Speaker 4: King on the right, however, said o Zarathustra, how well
- 2:42:13Speaker 4: it was that we set out to see thee, for
- 2:42:17Speaker 4: thine enemy showed us thy likeness in their mirror. There
- 2:42:20Speaker 4: lookethst thou with the grimace of a devil, and sneeringly,
- 2:42:24Speaker 4: so that we were afraid of thee. But what good
- 2:42:27Speaker 4: did it do? Always didst thou prick us anew in
- 2:42:31Speaker 4: heart and ear with thy sayings? Then did we say
- 2:42:36Speaker 4: at last, what doth it matter? How he look? We
- 2:42:40Speaker 4: must hear him. Him who teacheth ye shall love. Peace
- 2:42:44Speaker 4: is a means to new wars, and the short peace
- 2:42:48Speaker 4: more than the long. No one ever spake such warlike words.
- 2:42:54Speaker 4: What is good? To be brave is good. It is
- 2:42:57Speaker 4: the good war that halloweth every cause, Oh Zarathustra, our
- 2:43:02Speaker 4: father's blood stirred in our veins at such words. It
- 2:43:06Speaker 4: was like the voice of spring to old wine casks.
- 2:43:11Speaker 4: When the swords ran among one another like red spotted serpents.
- 2:43:15Speaker 4: Then did our fathers become fond of life? The son
- 2:43:19Speaker 4: of every peace seemed to them languid and lukewarm. The
- 2:43:25Speaker 4: long peace, however, made them ashamed. How they sighed our
- 2:43:31Speaker 4: fathers when they saw on the wall brightly furbished, dried
- 2:43:35Speaker 4: up swords like those, They thirsted for war. For a
- 2:43:41Speaker 4: sword thirst us to drink blood and sparkleth with desire.
- 2:43:48Speaker 4: When the kings thus discoursed and talked eagerly of their
- 2:43:52Speaker 4: happiness of their fathers, there came upon Zarathustra no little
- 2:43:56Speaker 4: desire to mock at their eagerness, for evidently they were
- 2:44:00Speaker 4: very peaceable kings whom he saw before him, kings with
- 2:44:04Speaker 4: old and refined features. But he restrained himself well, said
- 2:44:12Speaker 4: he thither leadeth the way. There lieth the cave of Zarathustra,
- 2:44:17Speaker 4: And this day is to have a long evening. At present, however,
- 2:44:22Speaker 4: a cry of distress calleth me hastily away from you.
- 2:44:26Speaker 4: It will honor my cave if kings wont to sit
- 2:44:29Speaker 4: and wait in it, But to be sure, ye will
- 2:44:33Speaker 4: have to wait long. Well, what of that? Where doth
- 2:44:39Speaker 4: one at present learn better to wait than at courts?
- 2:44:43Speaker 4: And the whole virtue of kings that hath remained unto them,
- 2:44:47Speaker 4: is it not called to day ability to wait? Thus
- 2:44:52Speaker 4: spake Zarathustra, end Chapter sixty three, Part sixty four. The
- 2:45:03Speaker 4: leech and Zarathustra went thoughtfully on further and lower down
- 2:45:11Speaker 4: through forests and past moory bottoms. As it happeneth, however,
- 2:45:17Speaker 4: to every one who meditateth upon hard matters. He trod thereby,
- 2:45:21Speaker 4: unawares upon a man, and lo there spurted into his
- 2:45:28Speaker 4: face all at once a cry of pain, and two
- 2:45:30Speaker 4: curses and twenty bad invectives, so that, in his fright
- 2:45:35Speaker 4: he raised his stick and also struck the trodden one.
- 2:45:39Speaker 4: Immediately afterwards, however, he regained his composure, and his heart
- 2:45:44Speaker 4: laughed at the folly he had just committed. Pardon me,
- 2:45:48Speaker 4: said he to the trodden one, who had got up
- 2:45:52Speaker 4: and raged and had seated himself. Pardon me, And here,
- 2:45:57Speaker 4: first of all a parable as a wanderer who dreameth
- 2:46:01Speaker 4: of remote things on a lonesome highway, runneth unawares against
- 2:46:05Speaker 4: a sleeping dog, a dog which lieth in the sun.
- 2:46:10Speaker 4: As both of them then start up and snap at
- 2:46:12Speaker 4: each other, like deadly enemies, those two beings mortally frightened.
- 2:46:17Speaker 4: So did it happen unto us. And yet, and yet
- 2:46:21Speaker 4: how little was lacking for them to caress each other,
- 2:46:25Speaker 4: That dog and that lonesome one. Are they not both
- 2:46:28Speaker 4: lonesome ones? Whoever thou art, said the trodden one, still enraged,
- 2:46:37Speaker 4: Thou treadest also to gnigh me with thy parable, and
- 2:46:40Speaker 4: not only with thy foot lo am. I then a dog.
- 2:46:47Speaker 4: And thereupon the sitting one got up and pulled his
- 2:46:50Speaker 4: naked arm out of the swamp, for at first he
- 2:46:54Speaker 4: had lain outstretched on the ground, hidden and indiscernible, like
- 2:46:59Speaker 4: those who lie in wait for swamp game. But whatever
- 2:47:03Speaker 4: art thou about, cried out Zarathustra in alarm, for he
- 2:47:08Speaker 4: saw a great deal of blood streaming over the naked arm.
- 2:47:12Speaker 4: What hath hurt thee? Hath an evil beast? Bid thee,
- 2:47:15Speaker 4: thou unfortunate one? The bleeding one laughed, still angry. What
- 2:47:20Speaker 4: matter is it to thee? Said he, and was about
- 2:47:23Speaker 4: to go on. Here am I at home and in
- 2:47:26Speaker 4: my province? Let him question me, whoever will to adult?
- 2:47:31Speaker 4: However I shall hardly answer. Thou art mistaken, said Zarathustra sympathetically,
- 2:47:39Speaker 4: and held him fast. Thou art mistaken? Here thou art
- 2:47:43Speaker 4: not at home, but in my domain, and therein shall
- 2:47:48Speaker 4: no one receive any hurt. Call me, however, what thou
- 2:47:53Speaker 4: wilt I am? Who I must be? I call myself Zarathustra.
- 2:48:01Speaker 4: Well up, Thither is the way to Zarathustra's cave. It
- 2:48:05Speaker 4: is not far. Wilt thou not attend to thy wounds
- 2:48:09Speaker 4: at my home? It hath gone badly with thee, thou
- 2:48:13Speaker 4: unfortunate one in this life? First a beast bit thee,
- 2:48:18Speaker 4: and then a man trot upon thee. When, however, the
- 2:48:23Speaker 4: trodden One had heard the name of Zarathustra, he was transformed.
- 2:48:27Speaker 4: What happeneth unto me? He exclaimed, Who preoccupieth me so
- 2:48:31Speaker 4: much in this life as this one man, namely Zarathustra,
- 2:48:36Speaker 4: and that one animal that liveth on blood the leech?
- 2:48:41Speaker 4: For the sake of the leech? Did I lie here
- 2:48:43Speaker 4: by this swamp like a fissure, and already had mine
- 2:48:48Speaker 4: outstretched arm been bitten ten times? When there biteth a
- 2:48:53Speaker 4: still finer leech at my blood. Zothustra himself, Oh happiness,
- 2:48:59Speaker 4: oh miracle. Praise it be this day which enticed me
- 2:49:03Speaker 4: into the swamp. Praise it be the best, the livest
- 2:49:08Speaker 4: cupping glass that at present liveth Praise it be the
- 2:49:13Speaker 4: great conscience leech Zarathustra. Thus spake the trodden One, and
- 2:49:21Speaker 4: Zarathustra rejoiced at his words in their refined, reverential style.
- 2:49:26Speaker 4: Who art thou, asked he and gave him his hand.
- 2:49:30Speaker 4: There is much to clear up and elucidate between us,
- 2:49:34Speaker 4: But already methinketh pure clear day is dawning. I am
- 2:49:40Speaker 4: the spiritually conscientious one, answered he who was asked. And
- 2:49:46Speaker 4: in matters of the spirit, it is difficult for anyone
- 2:49:50Speaker 4: to take it more rigorously, more restrictedly, and more severely
- 2:49:54Speaker 4: than I, except him from whom I learned it himself.
- 2:50:02Speaker 4: Better know nothing than half know many things. Better be
- 2:50:07Speaker 4: a fool on one's own account than a sage on
- 2:50:09Speaker 4: other people's approbation. I go to the basis. What matter
- 2:50:15Speaker 4: if it be great or small, if it be called
- 2:50:19Speaker 4: swamp or sky, A hand breadth of basis is enough
- 2:50:23Speaker 4: for me. If it be actually basis and ground, a
- 2:50:28Speaker 4: hand breadth of basis thereon can one stand in the
- 2:50:34Speaker 4: true knowing knowledge? There is nothing great and nothing small.
- 2:50:43Speaker 4: Then thou art perhaps an expert on the leech, asked Zarathustra,
- 2:50:49Speaker 4: And thou investigatest the leech to its ultimate basis, Thou
- 2:50:53Speaker 4: conscientious one, oh, Zarathustra, answered the trodden one. That would
- 2:51:00Speaker 4: be something immense. How could I presume to do so? That, however,
- 2:51:06Speaker 4: of which I am master a knower, is the brain
- 2:51:10Speaker 4: of the leech. That is my world, and it is
- 2:51:15Speaker 4: also a world. Forgive it, however, that my pride here
- 2:51:19Speaker 4: findeth expression, for here I have not mine equal. Therefore,
- 2:51:24Speaker 4: said I Here am I at home? How long have
- 2:51:28Speaker 4: I investigated this one thing, the brain of the leech,
- 2:51:32Speaker 4: so that here the slippery truth might no longer slip
- 2:51:36Speaker 4: from me? Here is my domain? For the sake of this?
- 2:51:41Speaker 4: Did I cast everything else aside? For the sake of this?
- 2:51:45Speaker 4: Did everything else become indifferent to me? And close beside
- 2:51:50Speaker 4: my knowledge? Lieth my black ignorance, my spiritual conscience requireth
- 2:51:56Speaker 4: from me that it should be, so that I should
- 2:51:59Speaker 4: know one thing and not know all else. They are
- 2:52:04Speaker 4: a loathing unto me, all the semi spiritual, all the hazy,
- 2:52:08Speaker 4: hovering and visionary. Where mine honesty ceaseth there am I blind,
- 2:52:17Speaker 4: and wont also to be blind? Where I want to know? However,
- 2:52:23Speaker 4: there want I also to be honest, namely severe, rigorous, restricted, cruel,
- 2:52:30Speaker 4: and inexorable. Because thou once saidest of Zarathustra, spirit is life,
- 2:52:38Speaker 4: which itself cutteth into life, that led and allured me
- 2:52:45Speaker 4: to thy doctrine. And verily, with mine own blood have
- 2:52:49Speaker 4: I increased mine own knowledge? As the evidence indicateth broke
- 2:52:55Speaker 4: in Zarathustra. For still was the blood flowing down on
- 2:52:59Speaker 4: the naked arm of the conscientious one. For there had
- 2:53:03Speaker 4: ten leeches bitten into it. O thou, strange fellow, how
- 2:53:09Speaker 4: much doth this very evidence teach me? Namely thou thyself
- 2:53:16Speaker 4: and not all? Perhaps might I pour into thy rigorous ear?
- 2:53:23Speaker 3: Well?
- 2:53:23Speaker 4: Then we part here, But I would fain find thee again.
- 2:53:28Speaker 4: Up thither is the way to my cave to night.
- 2:53:32Speaker 4: Shalt thou there be my welcome guest. Fain would I
- 2:53:38Speaker 4: also make amends to thy body? For Zarathustra, treading upon
- 2:53:41Speaker 4: thee with his feet, I think about that just now. However,
- 2:53:48Speaker 4: a cry of distress calleth me hastily away from thee.
- 2:53:53Speaker 4: Thus spake Zarathustra end Chapter sixty four, Chapter sixty five
- 2:54:04Speaker 4: The Magician One, When however, Zarathustra had gone round a rock,
- 2:54:12Speaker 4: then saw he on the same path. Not far below him,
- 2:54:17Speaker 4: a man who threw his limbs about like a maniac,
- 2:54:20Speaker 4: and at last tumbled to the ground on his belly. Halt,
- 2:54:25Speaker 4: said then Zarathustra to his heart. He there must surely
- 2:54:31Speaker 4: be the higher man. From him came that dreadful cry
- 2:54:36Speaker 4: of distress. I will see if I can help him. When, however,
- 2:54:41Speaker 4: he ran to the spot where the man lay on
- 2:54:43Speaker 4: the ground, he found a trembling old man with fixed eyes,
- 2:54:49Speaker 4: and in spite of all Zarathustra's efforts to lift him
- 2:54:52Speaker 4: and set him again on his feet, it was all
- 2:54:55Speaker 4: in vain. The unfortunate one also did not seem to
- 2:55:01Speaker 4: notice that some one was beside him. On the contrary,
- 2:55:05Speaker 4: he continually looked round with moving gestures, like one forsaken
- 2:55:10Speaker 4: and isolated from all the world. At last, however, after
- 2:55:17Speaker 4: much trembling in convulsion and curling himself up, he began
- 2:55:22Speaker 4: to lament, Thus, who warmth me, who loveth me? Still
- 2:55:30Speaker 4: give ardent fingers, give heartening charcoal warmers, prone outstretched, trembling
- 2:55:37Speaker 4: like him, half dead and cold, whose feet won warmth?
- 2:55:41Speaker 4: And shaken ahe by unfamiliar fevers, shivering with sharpened, icy
- 2:55:46Speaker 4: cold frost, arrows by thee pursued my fancy, ineffable, recondite, sore,
- 2:55:53Speaker 4: frightening Thou huntsmen hind the cloud banks now lightning, Struck
- 2:55:59Speaker 4: by thee, thou mocking eye that me in darkness watcheth
- 2:56:03Speaker 4: Thus do I lie bend myself, twist myself, convulsed with
- 2:56:07Speaker 4: all eternal torture, and smitten by the cruelest huntsman, Thou
- 2:56:13Speaker 4: unfamiliar God, Smite deeper, smite, yet once more pierce through
- 2:56:20Speaker 4: and rend my heart? What meaneth this torture with dull
- 2:56:24Speaker 4: indented arrows? Why lookst thou hither of human pain? Not
- 2:56:30Speaker 4: weary with mischief loving godly flash glances, not murder? Wilt
- 2:56:36Speaker 4: thou but torture torture? For why me torture thou mischief
- 2:56:44Speaker 4: loving unfamiliar God? Ha Ha, Thou stealest nigh in midnight's
- 2:56:51Speaker 4: gloomy hour? What wilt thou speak? Thou crowdst me pressest
- 2:56:55Speaker 4: ha now far too closely thou hearest me, breathe thou
- 2:57:01Speaker 4: er hear'st my heart? Thou ever jealous one of what pray?
- 2:57:05Speaker 4: Ever jealous off off? For why the ladder wouldst thou
- 2:57:09Speaker 4: get in to heart in clamber to mine own secretest conceptions?
- 2:57:16Speaker 4: In clamber shameless one, Thou unknown one thief? What seekest
- 2:57:22Speaker 4: thou by thy stealing? What seekest thou by thy hearkening?
- 2:57:25Speaker 4: What seekest thou by thy torturing? Thou torturer? Thou hangman God?
- 2:57:31Speaker 4: Or shall I as the mastiffs do roll before thee
- 2:57:35Speaker 4: and cringing, enraptured, frantical, my tail friendly waggle in vain God,
- 2:57:42Speaker 4: further cruelest God, no dog thy game, just am I
- 2:57:46Speaker 4: cruelest huntsman, Thou proudest of captives, Thou robber hind the
- 2:57:52Speaker 4: cloud banks speak finally, Thou lightning veiled one, Thou unknown one? Speak?
- 2:58:02Speaker 4: What wilt thou highway ambusher from me? What wilt thou,
- 2:58:05Speaker 4: unfamiliar God? What ransom gold? How much of ransom gold?
- 2:58:09Speaker 4: Solicit much that bits my pride? And be concise that
- 2:58:15Speaker 4: bit mine other pride? Ha ha me want'st thou me entire
- 2:58:20Speaker 4: ha ha, And torturest me fool that thou art dead,
- 2:58:25Speaker 4: tortures quite my pride. Give love to me, who warmth
- 2:58:30Speaker 4: me still, who loved me still, Give ardent fingers, give
- 2:58:33Speaker 4: heartening charcoal warmers, Give me the lonesomest, the ice, ah
- 2:58:38Speaker 4: sevenfold frozen ice for very enemies, for foes, doth make
- 2:58:43Speaker 4: one thirst Give yield to me cruelest foe, thyself away
- 2:58:50Speaker 4: there fled he surely my final only comrade, my greatest foe,
- 2:58:55Speaker 4: Mine unfamiliar, my hangman, God, Nay, come thou back with
- 2:58:59Speaker 4: all thy great tortures to me, the last of lonesome ones.
- 2:59:03Speaker 4: Oh come thou back all my hot tears and streamlets
- 2:59:07Speaker 4: trickle their course to thee, and all my final hearty
- 2:59:12Speaker 4: fervor up glowth to thee. Oh, come thou back mine
- 2:59:15Speaker 4: unfamiliar God, my pain, my final bliss. Two Here, However,
- 2:59:24Speaker 4: Zarathustra could no longer restrain himself. He took his staff
- 2:59:29Speaker 4: and struck the wailer with all his might. Stop this,
- 2:59:33Speaker 4: he cried to him, with wrathful laughter. Stop this, thou
- 2:59:36Speaker 4: stage player, Thou false coiner, Thou liar from the very heart.
- 2:59:40Speaker 4: I know thee well. I will soon make warm legs
- 2:59:44Speaker 4: to thee, thou evil magician. I know well how to
- 2:59:48Speaker 4: make it hot for such as thou. Leave off, said
- 2:59:53Speaker 4: the old man, and sprang up from the ground. Strike
- 2:59:56Speaker 4: me no more, oh, Zarathustra, I did it only for amusement.
- 3:00:01Speaker 4: That kind of thing belongeth to mine. Art thee thyself
- 3:00:06Speaker 4: I wanted to put to the proof when I gave
- 3:00:08Speaker 4: this performance. And verily thou hast well detected me. But
- 3:00:14Speaker 4: thou thyself hast given me no small proof of thyself.
- 3:00:17Speaker 4: Thou art hard, thou wise, Zarathustra, heart strikest thou with
- 3:00:22Speaker 4: thy truths, Thy cudgel forceth from me. This truth flatter
- 3:00:28Speaker 4: not answered Zarathustra, still excited and frowning, thou stage player
- 3:00:33Speaker 4: from the heart, Thou art false? Why speakest thou of truth?
- 3:00:39Speaker 4: Thou peacock of peacocks, thou see of vanity? What didst
- 3:00:44Speaker 4: thou represent before me? Thou evil magician? Whom was I
- 3:00:48Speaker 4: meant to believe in? When thou wailedst in such wise?
- 3:00:53Speaker 4: The penitent in spirit, said the old man. It was
- 3:00:59Speaker 4: him I represented thou thyself once devisest this expression, the
- 3:01:07Speaker 4: poet and magician who at last turneth his spirit against himself,
- 3:01:12Speaker 4: the transformed one who freesth to death by his bad
- 3:01:16Speaker 4: science and conscience, and just acknowledge it. It was long,
- 3:01:24Speaker 4: o Zarathustra, before thou discover'st my trick and lie Thou
- 3:01:27Speaker 4: believedst in my distress. When thou heldest my head with
- 3:01:30Speaker 4: both thy hands, I heard thee lament. We have loved
- 3:01:35Speaker 4: him too little, loved him too little? Because I so
- 3:01:39Speaker 4: far deceived THEE. My wickedness rejoiced in me. Thou mayst
- 3:01:46Speaker 4: have deceived subtler ones than I, said Zarathustra, sternly, I
- 3:01:52Speaker 4: am not on my guard against deceivers. I have to
- 3:01:56Speaker 4: be without precaution. So willeth my lot. Thou, however, must deceive.
- 3:02:03Speaker 4: So far do I know THEE? Thou must ever be equivocal, trivocal, quadravocal,
- 3:02:09Speaker 4: and quinquivocal. Even what thou hast now confessed is not
- 3:02:15Speaker 4: nearly true enough nor false enough for me, Thou bad
- 3:02:19Speaker 4: false coinner. How couldst thou do otherwise thy very malady?
- 3:02:24Speaker 4: Wouldst thou whitewash if thou showed thyself naked to thy physician?
- 3:02:30Speaker 4: Thus didst thou whitewash thy lie before me? When thou
- 3:02:33Speaker 4: saidst I did so only for amusement. There was also
- 3:02:40Speaker 4: seriousness therein Thou art something of a penitent in spirit,
- 3:02:47Speaker 4: I divine THEE well thou hast become the enchanter of
- 3:02:52Speaker 4: all the world. But for thyself thou hast no lie
- 3:02:57Speaker 4: or artifice left thou art dis enchanted to thyself. Thou
- 3:03:03Speaker 4: hast reaped disgust as thy one truth. No word in
- 3:03:09Speaker 4: THEE is any longer genuine, but thy mouth is so,
- 3:03:14Speaker 4: that is to say, the disgust that cleaveth unto thy mouth.
- 3:03:21Speaker 4: Who art thou at all? Cried? Here the old magician
- 3:03:25Speaker 4: with defiant voice, who dareth to speak thus unto me
- 3:03:29Speaker 4: the greatest man now living, and a green flash shot
- 3:03:33Speaker 4: from his eye at Zarathustra. But immediately after he changed
- 3:03:38Speaker 4: and said, sadly, O Sarathustra, I am weary of it.
- 3:03:43Speaker 4: I am disgusted with mine arts. I am not great.
- 3:03:48Speaker 4: Why do I dissemble? But thou knowest it well. I
- 3:03:52Speaker 4: sought for greatness, a great man. I wanted to appear,
- 3:03:55Speaker 4: and persuaded many. But the lie hath been beyond my power.
- 3:04:00Speaker 4: On it do I collapse, o, Zarathustra. Everything is a
- 3:04:05Speaker 4: lie in me, but that I collapse, This, my collapsing,
- 3:04:12Speaker 4: is genuine. It honoreth THEE, said Zarathustra, gloomily, looking down
- 3:04:22Speaker 4: with sidelong glance. It honoreth THEE that thou soughtest for greatness,
- 3:04:28Speaker 4: but it betrayeth THEE. Also thou art not great, thou
- 3:04:34Speaker 4: bad old magician. That is the best and the honestest thing.
- 3:04:38Speaker 4: I honor in THEE that thou hast become weary of
- 3:04:42Speaker 4: thyself and hast expressed it I am not great. Therein
- 3:04:49Speaker 4: do I honor THEE as a penitent in spirit, And
- 3:04:53Speaker 4: although only for the twinkling of an eye in that
- 3:04:56Speaker 4: one moment, wast thou genuine? But tell me what seekest
- 3:05:01Speaker 4: thou here in my forests and rocks. And if thou
- 3:05:06Speaker 4: hast put thyself in my way, what proof of me
- 3:05:11Speaker 4: wouldst thou have? Wherein didst thou put me to the test?
- 3:05:18Speaker 4: Thus spake Zarathustra, and his eyes sparkled. But the old
- 3:05:23Speaker 4: magician kept silent for a while, then said he did
- 3:05:29Speaker 4: I put thee to the test? I seek only, oh, Zarathustra.
- 3:05:36Speaker 4: I seek a genuine one, a right one, a simple one,
- 3:05:39Speaker 4: an unequivocal one, a man of perfect honesty, a vessel
- 3:05:44Speaker 4: of wisdom, a saint acknowledge, a great man. Knowest thou
- 3:05:48Speaker 4: it not of Zarathustra. I seek Zarathustra. And here there
- 3:05:56Speaker 4: arose a long silence between them. Zarathustra, however, became profoundly
- 3:06:03Speaker 4: absorbed in thought, so that he shut his eyes. But afterwards,
- 3:06:10Speaker 4: coming back to the situation, he grasped the hand of
- 3:06:13Speaker 4: the magician and said, full of politeness and policy, well
- 3:06:20Speaker 4: up thither leadeth the way. There is the cave of Zarathustra.
- 3:06:28Speaker 4: In it mayst thou seek him whom thou wouldst fain
- 3:06:31Speaker 4: find and ask counsel of mine animals, mine eagle and
- 3:06:37Speaker 4: my serpent, They shall help thee to seek my cave.
- 3:06:42Speaker 4: However is large I myself to be sure, I have
- 3:06:48Speaker 4: as yet seen no great man. That which is great.
- 3:06:53Speaker 4: The acutest eye is at present insensible to it. It
- 3:06:59Speaker 4: is the kingdom of the populace. Many one have I found,
- 3:07:04Speaker 4: who stretched and inflated himself, and the people cried, behold
- 3:07:09Speaker 4: a great man. But what good do all bellows do?
- 3:07:15Speaker 4: The wind cometh out at last, At last bursteth the frog,
- 3:07:20Speaker 4: which hath inflated itself too long. Then cometh out the
- 3:07:24Speaker 4: wind to prick a swollen one in the belly. I
- 3:07:28Speaker 4: call a good pastime. Hear that, ye boys, our to
- 3:07:33Speaker 4: day is of the populace, who still knoweth what is
- 3:07:38Speaker 4: great and what is small? Who could there seek successfully
- 3:07:46Speaker 4: for greatness? A fool? Only? It succeedeth with fools. Thou
- 3:07:54Speaker 4: seekest for great men, Thou strange fool, who taught that
- 3:07:59Speaker 4: to thee? Is today the time for it? O thou
- 3:08:04Speaker 4: bad seeker, Why dost thou tempt me? Thus spake Zarathustra,
- 3:08:11Speaker 4: comforted in his heart, and went laughing on his way
- 3:08:20Speaker 4: end Chapter sixty five, Part sixty six, out of service.
- 3:08:30Speaker 4: Not long however, after Zarathustra had freed himself from the magician,
- 3:08:35Speaker 4: he again saw a person sitting beside the path which
- 3:08:38Speaker 4: he followed, namely a tall black man with a haggard,
- 3:08:43Speaker 4: pale countenance. This man grieved him exceedingly, alas said he
- 3:08:52Speaker 4: to his heart, there sitteth disguised affliction. Methinketh he is
- 3:08:59Speaker 4: of the type of the priests. What do they want
- 3:09:04Speaker 4: in my domain? What hardly have I escaped from that magician?
- 3:09:11Speaker 4: And must another necromancer again run across my path, some
- 3:09:16Speaker 4: sorcerer with laying on of hands, some somber wonder worker
- 3:09:20Speaker 4: by the grace of God, some anointed world maligner, whom
- 3:09:25Speaker 4: may the devil take. But the devil is never at
- 3:09:29Speaker 4: the place which would be his right place. He always
- 3:09:33Speaker 4: cometh too late, that cursed dwarf and club foot. Thus
- 3:09:39Speaker 4: cursed Zarathustra impatiently in his heart, and considered how with
- 3:09:44Speaker 4: averted look he might slip past the black man. But behold,
- 3:09:50Speaker 4: it came about otherwise, For at the same moment had
- 3:09:56Speaker 4: the sitting one already perceived him, And no unlike one
- 3:10:01Speaker 4: whom an unexpected happiness overtaketh. He sprang to his feet
- 3:10:07Speaker 4: and went straight towards Zarathustra, whoever thou art, thou traveler, said,
- 3:10:14Speaker 4: he help a strayed one, a seeker, an old man,
- 3:10:18Speaker 4: who may here easily come to grief. The world here
- 3:10:21Speaker 4: is strange to me, and remote wild beasts. Also did
- 3:10:25Speaker 4: I hear howling? And he who could have given me protection,
- 3:10:30Speaker 4: he is himself no more. I was seeking the pious man,
- 3:10:36Speaker 4: a saint and an anchorite, who alone in his forest
- 3:10:41Speaker 4: had not yet heard of What all the world knoweth
- 3:10:44Speaker 4: at present? What doth all the world know at present?
- 3:10:50Speaker 4: Asked Zarathustra, Perhaps that the old God no longer liveth
- 3:10:55Speaker 4: in whom all the world once believed. Thou sayest it,
- 3:11:02Speaker 4: answered the old man sorrowfully. And I served that old
- 3:11:07Speaker 4: God until his last hour. Now, however, am I out
- 3:11:13Speaker 4: of service without master, and yet not free? Likewise, am
- 3:11:21Speaker 4: I no longer merry even for an hour? Except it
- 3:11:25Speaker 4: be in recollections. Therefore did I ascend into these mountains,
- 3:11:32Speaker 4: that I might finally have a festival for myself once more,
- 3:11:36Speaker 4: as becometh an old pope and church father. For know
- 3:11:41Speaker 4: it that I am the last Pope, a festival of
- 3:11:45Speaker 4: pious recollections and divine services. Now, however, is he himself dead,
- 3:11:54Speaker 4: The most pious of men, the saint in the forest,
- 3:11:58Speaker 4: who praised his God concise instantly, was singing and mumbling.
- 3:12:04Speaker 4: He himself found I no longer when I found his
- 3:12:06Speaker 4: cot But two wolves found I therein which howled on
- 3:12:12Speaker 4: account of his death, for all animals loved him. Then
- 3:12:17Speaker 4: did I haste away? Had I thus come in vain
- 3:12:23Speaker 4: into these forests and mountains, Then did my heart determine
- 3:12:28Speaker 4: that I should seek another, most pious of all those
- 3:12:32Speaker 4: who believed not in God. My heart determined that I
- 3:12:37Speaker 4: should seek Zarathustra. Thus spake the hoary man, and gazed
- 3:12:43Speaker 4: with keen eyes at him who stood before him. Zarathustra, however,
- 3:12:49Speaker 4: seized the hand of the old pope and regarded it
- 3:12:53Speaker 4: a long while with admiration. Lo thou venerable one, said he, Then,
- 3:13:01Speaker 4: what a fine and long hand that is the hand
- 3:13:05Speaker 4: of one who hath ever dispensed blessings. Now, however doth
- 3:13:10Speaker 4: it hold fast him whom thou seekest me, Zarathustra. It
- 3:13:17Speaker 4: is I the ungodly Zarathustra, who saith, who is ungodlier
- 3:13:22Speaker 4: than I, that I may enjoy his teaching. Thus spake Zarathustra,
- 3:13:29Speaker 4: and penetrated with his glances the thoughts and a rear
- 3:13:33Speaker 4: thoughts of the old Pope. At last the latter began,
- 3:13:40Speaker 4: He who most loved and possessed him hath now also
- 3:13:44Speaker 4: lost him most lo I myself am surely the most
- 3:13:50Speaker 4: godless of us at present? But who could rejoice at that?
- 3:13:58Speaker 4: Thou servest him to the last, ast asked Zarathustra thoughtfully,
- 3:14:03Speaker 4: after a deep silence. Thou knowest how he died? Is
- 3:14:10Speaker 4: it true what they say that sympathy choked him, that
- 3:14:15Speaker 4: he saw how man hung on the cross and could
- 3:14:18Speaker 4: not endure it, that his love to man became his hell,
- 3:14:24Speaker 4: and at last his death. The old Pope, however, did
- 3:14:30Speaker 4: not answer, but looked aside timidly with a painful and
- 3:14:36Speaker 4: gloomy expression. Let him go, said Zarathustra, after prolonged meditation,
- 3:14:47Speaker 4: still looking the old man straight in the eye. Let
- 3:14:50Speaker 4: him go. He is gone. And though it honoreth THEE
- 3:14:56Speaker 4: that thou speak'st only in praise of this dead one,
- 3:15:00Speaker 4: yet thou knowest as well as I who he was,
- 3:15:05Speaker 4: and that he went curious ways to speak before three eyes,
- 3:15:14Speaker 4: said the old pope, cheerfully. He was blind of one
- 3:15:17Speaker 4: eye in divine matters. I am more enlightened than Zarathustra himself,
- 3:15:25Speaker 4: and may well be so. My love served him long years.
- 3:15:31Speaker 4: My will followed all his will. A good servant, however,
- 3:15:36Speaker 4: knoweth everything and many a thing, even which a master
- 3:15:42Speaker 4: hideth from himself. He was a hidden god, full of secrecy. Verily,
- 3:15:52Speaker 4: he did not come by his son, otherwise than by
- 3:15:54Speaker 4: secret ways. At the door of his faith standeth adultery.
- 3:16:02Speaker 4: Whoever extoleth him as a god of love does not
- 3:16:06Speaker 4: think highly enough of love itself. Did not that God
- 3:16:11Speaker 4: want also to be a judge, But the loving one
- 3:16:16Speaker 4: loveth irrespective of reward and requital. When he was young,
- 3:16:24Speaker 4: that god out of the Orient. Then he was harsh
- 3:16:28Speaker 4: and revengeful, and built himself a hell for the delight
- 3:16:33Speaker 4: of his favorites. At last, however, he became old and soft,
- 3:16:39Speaker 4: and mellow and pitiful, more like a grandfather than a father,
- 3:16:45Speaker 4: but most like a tottering old grandmother. There did he
- 3:16:50Speaker 4: sit shriveled in his chimney corner, fretting, on account of
- 3:16:56Speaker 4: his weak legs, world weary, will weary, and one day
- 3:17:02Speaker 4: he suffocated of his all too great pity. Thou, old Pope,
- 3:17:11Speaker 4: said here Zarathustra, interposing, hast thou seen that with thine
- 3:17:16Speaker 4: eyes it could well have happened in that way, in
- 3:17:22Speaker 4: that way, and also otherwise. When gods die, they always
- 3:17:28Speaker 4: die many kinds of death. Well, at all events, one
- 3:17:33Speaker 4: way or the other, he is gone. He was counter
- 3:17:37Speaker 4: to the taste of mine ears and eyes. Worse than that,
- 3:17:41Speaker 4: I should not like to say against him. I love
- 3:17:45Speaker 4: everything that looketh bright and speaketh honestly. But he thou
- 3:17:51Speaker 4: knowest it, forsooth thou, old priest, there was something of
- 3:17:55Speaker 4: thy type in him, the priest type. He was equivocal.
- 3:18:01Speaker 4: He was also indistinct. How he raged at us, this
- 3:18:06Speaker 4: wrath snorter, because we understood him badly? But why did
- 3:18:11Speaker 4: he not speak more clearly? And if the fault lay
- 3:18:16Speaker 4: in our ears, why did he give us ears that
- 3:18:20Speaker 4: heard him badly? If there was dirt in our ears, well,
- 3:18:25Speaker 4: who put it in them? Too much? Miscarried with him,
- 3:18:30Speaker 4: Miss Potter, who had not learned thoroughly that he took
- 3:18:34Speaker 4: revenge on his pots and creations. However, because they turned
- 3:18:37Speaker 4: out badly, that was a sin against good taste. There
- 3:18:45Speaker 4: is also good taste and piety. This at last said,
- 3:18:49Speaker 4: away with such a god, better to have no God,
- 3:18:54Speaker 4: better to set up destiny on one's own account, better
- 3:18:59Speaker 4: to be a fool, better to be god oneself. What
- 3:19:04Speaker 4: do I hear said than the old pope with intent
- 3:19:07Speaker 4: ears of Zarathustra, Thou art more pious than thou belief'st
- 3:19:13Speaker 4: With such an unbelief, some God in THEE hath converted
- 3:19:18Speaker 4: THEE to thine ungodliness. Is it not thy piety itself,
- 3:19:24Speaker 4: which no longer letteth? THEE believe in a God, and
- 3:19:28Speaker 4: Thine over great honesty will yet lead THEE even beyond
- 3:19:32Speaker 4: good and evil. Behold what hath been reserved for THEE?
- 3:19:40Speaker 4: Thou hast eyes and hands and mouth, which have been
- 3:19:44Speaker 4: predestined for blessing from eternity. One doth not bless with
- 3:19:50Speaker 4: the hand alone nigh unto THEE. Though thou professest to
- 3:19:57Speaker 4: be the ungodliest one, I feel a haile and holy
- 3:20:02Speaker 4: odor of long benedictions. I feel glad and grieved. Thereby
- 3:20:10Speaker 4: Let me be thy guest o Zarathustra, for a single night.
- 3:20:15Speaker 4: Nowhere on earth shall I now feel better than with THEE. Amen,
- 3:20:22Speaker 4: So shall it be, said Zarathustra, with great astonishment. Up
- 3:20:27Speaker 4: thither leadeth the way. There lieth the cave of Zarathustra. Gladly,
- 3:20:33Speaker 4: forsooth would I conduct THEE thither myself, thou venerable one.
- 3:20:38Speaker 4: For I love all pious men. But now a cry
- 3:20:43Speaker 4: of distress calleth me hastily away from THEE. In my domain,
- 3:20:48Speaker 4: shall no one come to grief. My cave is a
- 3:20:52Speaker 4: good haven. And best of all, would I like to
- 3:20:57Speaker 4: put every sorrowful one again on firm life and firm legs. Who, however,
- 3:21:05Speaker 4: could take thy melancholy off thy shoulders? For that I
- 3:21:10Speaker 4: am too weak? Long verily should we have to wait
- 3:21:15Speaker 4: until someone reawoke Thy God for THEE, for that old
- 3:21:21Speaker 4: God liveth no more, he is indeed dead. Thus spake Zarathustra.
- 3:21:33Speaker 4: And Chapter sixty.
- 3:21:35Speaker 3: Six, Part four, Chapter sixty seven the ugliest man, And
- 3:21:44Speaker 3: again did yatoo. Strass feet run through mountains and foys,
- 3:21:49Speaker 3: and his eyes sought and sought, But nowhere was he
- 3:21:53Speaker 3: to be seen whom they wanted to see, the solely
- 3:21:58Speaker 3: distressed sufferer and cry on the whole way. However, he
- 3:22:03Speaker 3: rejoiced in his heart and was full of gratitude. What
- 3:22:09Speaker 3: good things said he had to stay given me as
- 3:22:13Speaker 3: amendsful it's bad beginning or strange intellocutors have found at
- 3:22:19Speaker 3: their words. Will I not chew a long while as
- 3:22:23Speaker 3: a good corn small? Shall my teeth grind and crushed
- 3:22:27Speaker 3: them until they flow like milk into my soul? When, however,
- 3:22:34Speaker 3: the path again carved round a rock, all at once
- 3:22:37Speaker 3: the landscape changed, and Rathustra entered into a realm of death.
- 3:22:43Speaker 3: Here bristled aloft, black and red cliffs, without any grass,
- 3:22:48Speaker 3: tree of bird's voice. For it was a valley which
- 3:22:52Speaker 3: all animals avoided, even the beasts of prey, except that
- 3:22:57Speaker 3: a species of ugly, thinke green serpent came here to
- 3:23:02Speaker 3: die when they became old. Therefore the shepherds called this
- 3:23:07Speaker 3: valley so pain death. Zathushtra, however, became absorbed in dark recollections,
- 3:23:17Speaker 3: for it seemed to him as if he had once
- 3:23:19Speaker 3: before stood in this valley, and much heaviness settled on
- 3:23:24Speaker 3: his mind, so that he walked slowly, and always more slowly,
- 3:23:29Speaker 3: and at last stood still. Then, however, when he opened
- 3:23:34Speaker 3: his eyes, he saw something sitting by the wayside, shaped
- 3:23:38Speaker 3: like a man, and hardly like a man, something not
- 3:23:42Speaker 3: the script. And all at once there came over Zathushtra
- 3:23:47Speaker 3: a great shame because he had grazed on such a thing.
- 3:23:52Speaker 3: Blushing up to the very roots of his white hair,
- 3:23:56Speaker 3: he turned aside his glance and raised his foot, that
- 3:24:00Speaker 3: he might leave this ill started place. Then, however, became
- 3:24:06Speaker 3: the dead wilderness woke her, for from the ground a
- 3:24:10Speaker 3: voice welled up, gurgling and rattling, as water gurgleth and
- 3:24:15Speaker 3: rattleth at night through stop of water pipes, and at
- 3:24:19Speaker 3: last it turned into human voice and human speech. It
- 3:24:24Speaker 3: sounded thus Lathushtra. Lathushtra, read my riddle, Say say what
- 3:24:33Speaker 3: is the revenge on the witness? I entice? The black
- 3:24:38Speaker 3: hair is smooth eyes see to it. Say to it
- 3:24:42Speaker 3: that the pride do not heir break its legs. Thou
- 3:24:45Speaker 3: thinkest thyself wise, thou proud Raatushtra, readden the riddle, thou
- 3:24:51Speaker 3: hard nut cracker, the riddle that I am? Say, then
- 3:24:56Speaker 3: who am I? When, however, that Tustra had heard these words,
- 3:25:04Speaker 3: what think yea then took place in his soul. Pity
- 3:25:08Speaker 3: overcame him, and he sank down all at once, like
- 3:25:12Speaker 3: an oak that had long withstood many three fellers heavily,
- 3:25:16Speaker 3: suddenly to the terror of even those who meant to
- 3:25:20Speaker 3: fell it. But suddenly he got up again from the ground,
- 3:25:24Speaker 3: and his countenance began to stern. I know thee, well,
- 3:25:31Speaker 3: said he, with a brazen voice. Thou art thou, murderer
- 3:25:36Speaker 3: of God. Let me go. Thou couldest not endure him
- 3:25:41Speaker 3: who beheld thee. Who ever beheld thee through and through thou,
- 3:25:47Speaker 3: ugliest man, Thou tookst revenge on his witness. Thus spake
- 3:25:55Speaker 3: their tustra, and was about to go, But the non
- 3:25:59Speaker 3: disgrace he gasped at a corner of his garment and
- 3:26:03Speaker 3: began anew to gurggle and seek for words. Stay, said
- 3:26:10Speaker 3: he at last, Stay, do not pass by. I have
- 3:26:15Speaker 3: divined what axe it was that struck tee to the ground.
- 3:26:19Speaker 3: Hail to thee, O Zathustra, that thou art again upon
- 3:26:23Speaker 3: thy feet. Thou hast divined, I know it will how
- 3:26:28Speaker 3: the man feeleth who killed him, the murderer of God. Stay,
- 3:26:34Speaker 3: sit down here beside me. It is not to no
- 3:26:38Speaker 3: purpose to whom would I go, but unto thee stay,
- 3:26:44Speaker 3: sit down. Do not, however, look at me honor this
- 3:26:49Speaker 3: mine ugliness. They persecute me, Thou art thou, my last refugee,
- 3:26:57Speaker 3: Not with their hatred, not with the bull lives. Oh,
- 3:27:02Speaker 3: such persecution would I mock at and be proud and cheerful,
- 3:27:07Speaker 3: had not all succeeded hitherto been with a well persecuted once,
- 3:27:13Speaker 3: And he who persecuteth well learneth readily to be obsequent
- 3:27:19Speaker 3: when once he is put behind. But is their pity
- 3:27:24Speaker 3: their pity? Is it from which I flee away and
- 3:27:27Speaker 3: flee to thee? Wosiatustra protect me, thou, my last refuge
- 3:27:35Speaker 3: Thou soul, one who devendest me. Thou hast defined how
- 3:27:43Speaker 3: the man feeleth who killed him. Stay, And if thou
- 3:27:48Speaker 3: wilt go, thou impatient one, go not the way that
- 3:27:52Speaker 3: I came. That way is bad. Art thou angry with
- 3:27:57Speaker 3: me because I have already racked life which so long,
- 3:28:02Speaker 3: because I have already counseled thee. But know that it
- 3:28:06Speaker 3: is I, the ugliest man, who have also the largest
- 3:28:12Speaker 3: heaviest feet. Where I have gone the way is bad.
- 3:28:17Speaker 3: I tread all past to death, and destruction, But that
- 3:28:24Speaker 3: thou passidest me by in silence, that thou blessedest I
- 3:28:32Speaker 3: saw it?
- 3:28:33Speaker 4: Well?
- 3:28:33Speaker 3: Thereby did I know thee as a Tustra. Everyone else
- 3:28:40Speaker 3: would have thrown to me his arms. He's pity in
- 3:28:45Speaker 3: look and speech. But for that I'm not biggar enough.
- 3:28:50Speaker 3: That didst thou divine? For that? I am too rich,
- 3:28:55Speaker 3: rich in what is great, frightful, ugliest, most unt thy shame?
- 3:29:02Speaker 3: Was Thatustra honored me with difficulty? Did I get out
- 3:29:08Speaker 3: of the crowd of the pitiful? Yet I might find
- 3:29:13Speaker 3: the only one who, at present teacheth that pity is
- 3:29:18Speaker 3: obtrusive thyself was Zustra. Whether it be the pity of
- 3:29:25Speaker 3: our God, or whether it be human pity, it is
- 3:29:29Speaker 3: offensive to modesty. An unwillingness to help may be nobler
- 3:29:36Speaker 3: than the virtue that rush it to do so, that, however, namely, pity,
- 3:29:45Speaker 3: is called virtue itself. At present, by all petty people,
- 3:29:50Speaker 3: they have no reverence for great misfortune, great ugliness, great failure.
- 3:29:58Speaker 3: Beyond all these, do I look as a dog looketh
- 3:30:02Speaker 3: over the backs of thronging flocks of sheep. They are petty,
- 3:30:07Speaker 3: good world, good willed gray people. As the heron looketh
- 3:30:14Speaker 3: contemptuously at shallow pools with backward bent head, so do
- 3:30:20Speaker 3: I look at the throng of gray little waves and
- 3:30:24Speaker 3: wills and souls. Too long have acknowledged them to be right,
- 3:30:30Speaker 3: those petty people, so we have at last given them
- 3:30:33Speaker 3: power as well. And now do they teach that God
- 3:30:39Speaker 3: is only what petty people call good, and truth is
- 3:30:44Speaker 3: at present. But the creature spake, who himself sprang from them,
- 3:30:48Speaker 3: that singular saint and advocate of the petty people, who
- 3:30:53Speaker 3: testified of himself, I am the truth. That modest one
- 3:31:00Speaker 3: hath long made the petty people greatly puffed up, He
- 3:31:05Speaker 3: who taught no small error when he taught, I am
- 3:31:09Speaker 3: the truth. Hath an immodest one ever been answered both
- 3:31:14Speaker 3: courteously Thou, however, ouzatustra pasidest him I and saidest nay
- 3:31:24Speaker 3: nay three times nay Thou warnest against his error. Thou
- 3:31:31Speaker 3: warnest the first to do so against pity, not everyone,
- 3:31:38Speaker 3: not none, but thyself and thy type. Thou art ashamed
- 3:31:44Speaker 3: of the shame of the great sufferer. And verily when
- 3:31:48Speaker 3: thou sayest from pity, there cometh a heavy cloud. Take heed,
- 3:31:54Speaker 3: ye man, when thou teachest, all creators are hard, all
- 3:32:01Speaker 3: great love is beyond their pity. Of Zatustra, how well
- 3:32:06Speaker 3: worst doos thou seem to me? In weather signs Thou thyself, however,
- 3:32:14Speaker 3: warned thyself also against thy pity. For many hour on
- 3:32:19Speaker 3: their way to thee man he's suffering, doubting, despairing, drowning,
- 3:32:24Speaker 3: treasing ones. I warn thee also against myself. Thou hast
- 3:32:29Speaker 3: read my best, my worst riddle myself and what I
- 3:32:35Speaker 3: have done. I know the act that felt thee. But
- 3:32:41Speaker 3: he had to die. He looked with eyes which beheld everything.
- 3:32:47Speaker 3: He beheld men's steps and dregs, all his ignominy and ugliness,
- 3:32:53Speaker 3: his pity knew no modesty. He crept into my dirtiest corners.
- 3:32:58Speaker 3: This most prying, over intrusive, our pitiful one had to die.
- 3:33:04Speaker 3: He ever beheld me on such a witness, I would
- 3:33:07Speaker 3: have revenge or not live myself. That God, who beheld everything,
- 3:33:13Speaker 3: and also man, that God had to die. Man cannot
- 3:33:18Speaker 3: endure it that such a witness should live. Thus spake
- 3:33:27Speaker 3: the ugliest man. Lathustra, however, caught up and prepared to
- 3:33:33Speaker 3: go on, for he felt frozen. To the very bowels,
- 3:33:39Speaker 3: Thou non descript said he, thou warnest me against thy path,
- 3:33:45Speaker 3: as thanks for it I praise mine to thee. Behold
- 3:33:49Speaker 3: up thither is the cave of Zatustra. My cave is
- 3:33:54Speaker 3: large and deep, and hath many corners. There findeth he
- 3:33:59Speaker 3: that is most in his hiding place. And close beside
- 3:34:03Speaker 3: it there are a hundred lurking places and by places
- 3:34:08Speaker 3: for creeping, fluttering and hopping creatures. Thou outcast, who hast
- 3:34:15Speaker 3: cast themselves out, Thou wilt not live amongst men and
- 3:34:19Speaker 3: men's pity. Well, then do like me? Thus wilt thou
- 3:34:24Speaker 3: learn also from me? Only the doer learneth and talk
- 3:34:29Speaker 3: first and foremost to mine animals, the proudest animal and
- 3:34:34Speaker 3: the wisest animal. They might well be the right counselors
- 3:34:38Speaker 3: for us. Both. This spake Theirthustra and went his way
- 3:34:45Speaker 3: more thoughtfully and slowly even than before, For he asked
- 3:34:50Speaker 3: himself many things, and hardly knew what to answer. How
- 3:34:56Speaker 3: poor indeed is man thought he in his heart? How ugly,
- 3:35:02Speaker 3: how easy, how full of hidden shame? They tell me
- 3:35:07Speaker 3: that man loveth himself, Ah, how great must that self
- 3:35:11Speaker 3: love be? How much contempt is opposed to it. Even
- 3:35:17Speaker 3: this man hath loved himself as yet despised himself. A
- 3:35:22Speaker 3: great lover, methinketh he is, and a great despiser. No
- 3:35:27Speaker 3: one have I yet found who more thoroughly despised himself.
- 3:35:33Speaker 3: Even that is elevation. Alas was this perhaps the high
- 3:35:39Speaker 3: man whose cry I heard, I loved the great despisers
- 3:35:45Speaker 3: man is something that had to be surpassed. End of
- 3:35:53Speaker 3: Chapter sixty seven, Bared four Chapter sixty eight, The Voluntary Beggar.
- 3:36:03Speaker 3: When Rathushtra had left the ugliest man, he was chilled
- 3:36:09Speaker 3: and felt lonesome. For much coldness and lonesomeness came over
- 3:36:14Speaker 3: his spirit, so that even his limbs became older. Thereby well, however,
- 3:36:23Speaker 3: he wandered on and on, up hill and down, at
- 3:36:28Speaker 3: times past green meadows, though also sometimes over wild stony
- 3:36:33Speaker 3: couches where formerly perhaps an impatient brook had made its bed.
- 3:36:40Speaker 3: Then he turned all at once warmer and hearty again.
- 3:36:46Speaker 3: What hath happened to me? He asked himself. Something warm
- 3:36:52Speaker 3: and living quickened me. It must be in the neighborhood.
- 3:36:58Speaker 3: Already am I less alone? Unconscious companions and breathing robe
- 3:37:04Speaker 3: around me? Their warm breath, toucheth my soul. When however,
- 3:37:12Speaker 3: he spied about and sought for the comforters of his lonesomeness.
- 3:37:18Speaker 3: Behold they were kind, there, standing together on an eminence,
- 3:37:25Speaker 3: whose proximity and smell had warmed his heart. The kind, however,
- 3:37:33Speaker 3: seemed to listen eagerly to a speaker, and took no
- 3:37:37Speaker 3: heed of him who approached. When, however, the Tustra was
- 3:37:43Speaker 3: quite nigh unto them. Then did he hear plainly let
- 3:37:48Speaker 3: human voice spake in the midst of the kind, and
- 3:37:53Speaker 3: apparently all of them had turned their heads towards the speaker.
- 3:38:00Speaker 3: Then ran Sarathustra up speedily and drove the animals aside,
- 3:38:06Speaker 3: for he feared that someone had here met with harm,
- 3:38:11Speaker 3: which the pity of the kind would hardly be able
- 3:38:14Speaker 3: to relieve. But in this he was deceived, for behold
- 3:38:21Speaker 3: there sat a man on the ground who seemed to
- 3:38:25Speaker 3: be persuading the animals to have no fear of him,
- 3:38:30Speaker 3: A peaceable man and preacher on the mount out of
- 3:38:35Speaker 3: whose eyes Kindness itself preached. What dost thou seek here?
- 3:38:43Speaker 3: Asked Arthustra, in astonishment, What do I hear seek? Answered he?
- 3:38:53Speaker 3: The same that thou seekest, thou mischief maker, that is
- 3:38:58Speaker 3: to say, happiness upon on earth. To that end, however,
- 3:39:04Speaker 3: I would fain learn of this kind. For I tell
- 3:39:09Speaker 3: thee that I have already talked half a morning unto them,
- 3:39:14Speaker 3: and just now were they about to give me their answer.
- 3:39:19Speaker 3: Why dost thou disturb them? Except we be converted and
- 3:39:25Speaker 3: become as kind, we shall in no wise enter into
- 3:39:30Speaker 3: the Kingdom of heaven. For we ought to learn from
- 3:39:34Speaker 3: them one thing ruminating. And verily, although a man should
- 3:39:40Speaker 3: gain the whole world and yet not learn one thing ruminating,
- 3:39:47Speaker 3: what would it profit him? He would not be rid
- 3:39:51Speaker 3: of his affliction, his great affliction, that, however, is at
- 3:39:57Speaker 3: present called discussed. Who hath not at present his heart,
- 3:40:02Speaker 3: his mouth and his eyes full of disgust? Thou also
- 3:40:08Speaker 3: thou also, but behold these kind? Thus spake the speature
- 3:40:15Speaker 3: on the mound, and turned his own look towards Zarathustra,
- 3:40:21Speaker 3: for hidato it had rested lovingly on the kind. Then, however,
- 3:40:29Speaker 3: he put on a different expression. Who is this with
- 3:40:33Speaker 3: whom I talk? He exclaimed, frightened, and sprang up from
- 3:40:39Speaker 3: the ground. This is the man without disgust, This is
- 3:40:45Speaker 3: Zarathustra himself, the surmounter of the great disgust. This is
- 3:40:50Speaker 3: the eye, this is the mouth, This is the heart
- 3:40:53Speaker 3: of Zarathustra himself. And whisht he thus spoke, He kissed
- 3:41:00Speaker 3: with overflowing eyes, the hands of him with whom he spoke,
- 3:41:07Speaker 3: and behaved altogether like one to whom a precious gift
- 3:41:12Speaker 3: and jewel hath fallen, and aways from heaven. The kind, however,
- 3:41:19Speaker 3: gazed at it all and wondered, Speak not of me,
- 3:41:26Speaker 3: thou strange one, Thou amiable one, said Naratustra, and restrained
- 3:41:33Speaker 3: his affection. Speak to me firsely of thyself. Art thou
- 3:41:40Speaker 3: not the voluntary beggar who was cast away great riches,
- 3:41:46Speaker 3: who was ashamed of his riches and of the rich,
- 3:41:50Speaker 3: and fled to the poorest to bestow upon them his
- 3:41:54Speaker 3: abundance and his heart. But they received him not. But
- 3:42:01Speaker 3: they received me not, said the voluntary beggar. Thou knowest forsooth,
- 3:42:08Speaker 3: so I went at last to the animals and to
- 3:42:11Speaker 3: those kind Thou learnest, Thou interrupted Zathustra. How much harder
- 3:42:20Speaker 3: is it to give properly than to take properly? And
- 3:42:25Speaker 3: that bestowing well is an art, thy last, supplessed master
- 3:42:30Speaker 3: art of kindness, especially nowadays, answered the voluntary beggar. At present,
- 3:42:40Speaker 3: that is to say, when everything low hath become rebellious
- 3:42:44Speaker 3: and exclusive and haughty in its manner, in the manner
- 3:42:49Speaker 3: of the populace, for the hour hath come. Thou knowest
- 3:42:56Speaker 3: it forsooth, for the great evil, long, slow, mob ed
- 3:43:02Speaker 3: slave insurrection. It extendeth and extendeth no doubt it bread folk,
- 3:43:11Speaker 3: the lower classes, all benebles and pettygiving, and the over
- 3:43:16Speaker 3: rich may be on their guard, whoever, at present grape
- 3:43:23Speaker 3: like bulgy bottles out of all too small necks of
- 3:43:28Speaker 3: such bottles. At present, when willingly breaketh the necks, wanton avidity,
- 3:43:36Speaker 3: bilious envy, careworn revenge, populous pride, all these struck mine eye.
- 3:43:45Speaker 3: It is no longer true. Little poor are blessed. The
- 3:43:49Speaker 3: kingdom of heaven. However, is with the kind? And why
- 3:43:57Speaker 3: is it not with the rich? As are to temptingly?
- 3:44:02Speaker 3: While he came back the kind which sniffed familiarly at
- 3:44:07Speaker 3: the peaceful one, Why thou'st thou tempt me? Answered the other,
- 3:44:15Speaker 3: Thou knowest it thyself better even than I? What was
- 3:44:20Speaker 3: it drove me to the poorest Ozartustra, Was it not
- 3:44:24Speaker 3: my disgust at the richest, at the culprits of riches
- 3:44:30Speaker 3: with cold eyes and rank thoughts, who pick up prophet
- 3:44:34Speaker 3: out of all kinds of rubbish as this ravel that
- 3:44:38Speaker 3: stinketh to heaven, At this gilded falcified populist, whose fathers
- 3:44:47Speaker 3: were pickpockets, or carrying crows or rag pickles, with wives
- 3:44:53Speaker 3: compliant lude and forgetful, for they are all of them
- 3:44:58Speaker 3: not far different from halots populous avow, populous, bellow, what
- 3:45:06Speaker 3: are poor and rich? At present? That distinction? Did I learn? Then?
- 3:45:12Speaker 3: Did I flee away further and even further, until I
- 3:45:17Speaker 3: came to those kind? Thus baked the peaceful one and
- 3:45:23Speaker 3: puffed himself and perspired with his words, so that the
- 3:45:29Speaker 3: kind wandered. A knew Latushtra, however, kept looking into his
- 3:45:35Speaker 3: face with a smile all the time the man talked
- 3:45:40Speaker 3: so severely, and shook silently his head. Thou doest wildst
- 3:45:48Speaker 3: to thyself, thou preacher on the mound, and thou usest
- 3:45:53Speaker 3: such savior words for such severity, neither thy mouth nor
- 3:45:59Speaker 3: thine eyes have ever been given thee nor methinketh hath
- 3:46:06Speaker 3: thy stomach either, and to at all such rage and
- 3:46:11Speaker 3: hatred and foaming over is repugnant. Thout stomach wanteth softer things.
- 3:46:20Speaker 3: Thou art not a butcher. Rather seemest thou to me
- 3:46:25Speaker 3: a plant eater and a rude man. Perhaps thou grandest corn. Certainly, however,
- 3:46:33Speaker 3: thou art our worst to fleshly joyous, and thou lovest honey.
- 3:46:41Speaker 3: Thou hast divined me, well, answered the voluntary beggar, which
- 3:46:46Speaker 3: light in heart. I love honey. I also grind calm,
- 3:46:52Speaker 3: for I have sought out what tasteth sweetly and maketh
- 3:46:57Speaker 3: pure breath. All So what requireth a long time, a
- 3:47:03Speaker 3: day's work and a month's work for gentle eyelers and
- 3:47:07Speaker 3: sluggers furthest To be sure, have those kind carried it?
- 3:47:15Speaker 3: They have device dominating and lying in the sun. They
- 3:47:19Speaker 3: also abstain from all heavy thoughts which inflate the heart.
- 3:47:26Speaker 3: Well said Natustra, thou shouldst also see mine animals, mine eager,
- 3:47:33Speaker 3: and my serpent, they alike do not at present exist
- 3:47:38Speaker 3: on earth. Behold, thither leadeth the way to my cave.
- 3:47:46Speaker 3: Be tonight, it's guest, and talk to mine animals, of
- 3:47:50Speaker 3: the happiness of animals, until I myself come home. For
- 3:47:57Speaker 3: now a cry of distress calleth me here away from thee.
- 3:48:02Speaker 3: Also shouldest thou find new honey with me eyes cold
- 3:48:08Speaker 3: golden comb. Honey, eat it now, however, take leave at
- 3:48:15Speaker 3: once of thy kind, Thou strange one, thou amiable one,
- 3:48:21Speaker 3: thought it be hard for THEE, for they are thy
- 3:48:25Speaker 3: warmest friends and perceptors. One accepted, whom I hold still dearer,
- 3:48:34Speaker 3: answered the voluntary beggar. Thou thyself art good o Zatustra,
- 3:48:40Speaker 3: and better even than a cow away away with thee.
- 3:48:47Speaker 3: Thou evil flatterer, cries, or Tustram mischievously. Why dost thou
- 3:48:53Speaker 3: spoil me for such praise and flattery? Honey away from me? Cried?
- 3:49:03Speaker 3: He was over, and heaved his stick at a fallen beggar, who, however,
- 3:49:10Speaker 3: randomly away end of Chapter sixty eight, Part four, Chapter
- 3:49:20Speaker 3: sixty nine. The shadow scarcely, however, was the voluntary beggar
- 3:49:28Speaker 3: gone in haste, and Zatustra again alone, when he heard
- 3:49:34Speaker 3: behind him a new voice, which calleth out, stay, Zaratustra.
- 3:49:40Speaker 3: Do wait it is myself, forsooth Zatustra myself, thy shadow.
- 3:49:48Speaker 3: Zatustra did not wait for a sudden irritation came over
- 3:49:52Speaker 3: him on account of the crowd and the crowding in
- 3:49:56Speaker 3: his mountains. Whither hat mysomeness, calm spake he It is
- 3:50:04Speaker 3: verily becoming too much for me. These mountains form my
- 3:50:09Speaker 3: kingdom is no longer of this world. I acquire new mountains.
- 3:50:14Speaker 3: My shadow calleth me, what matter about my shadow? Let
- 3:50:20Speaker 3: it run after me? I run away from it. Thus
- 3:50:24Speaker 3: spake the tustrake to his heart, and ran away. But
- 3:50:28Speaker 3: the one behind followed after him. So immediately there were
- 3:50:32Speaker 3: three runners, one after the other, namely for most the
- 3:50:37Speaker 3: voluntary beggar, then their Tustra, and thirdly, in hindmost his shadow.
- 3:50:45Speaker 3: But not long had they run thus when the Tustra
- 3:50:49Speaker 3: became conscious of his folly and shook off with one jerk,
- 3:50:53Speaker 3: all his irritation in the testation, For what said he
- 3:51:00Speaker 3: have not the most ludicrous things always happened to us,
- 3:51:03Speaker 3: old anchorites and saints. Wearily, my folly hath grown big
- 3:51:10Speaker 3: in the mountains. Now do I hear six old fool's
- 3:51:14Speaker 3: legs rattling behind one another, But DoD Zatustra need to
- 3:51:21Speaker 3: be frightened by his shadow. Also, methink it that, after
- 3:51:25Speaker 3: all it hath long or left than mine. Thus spake Zarathustra,
- 3:51:32Speaker 3: and laughing with eyes and entrails, he stood still and
- 3:51:37Speaker 3: turned round quickly. And behold, he almost thereby threw his
- 3:51:42Speaker 3: shadow and followed to the ground. So closely had the
- 3:51:48Speaker 3: latter followed at his heats, and so weak was he who,
- 3:51:52Speaker 3: when their Tustra scrutinized him with his glance, he was
- 3:51:56Speaker 3: frightened as by a sudden apparition, so swarthy, hollow, and
- 3:52:02Speaker 3: worn out, that his follower up here? Who art thou?
- 3:52:07Speaker 3: Answered Tistra vehemently, What doest thou here? And why callest
- 3:52:13Speaker 3: thou thyself my shadow? Thou art not pleasing it to me?
- 3:52:19Speaker 3: Forgive me? Answered the shadow that it is I, And
- 3:52:23Speaker 3: if I please Thee not well or the Tustra therein
- 3:52:27Speaker 3: do I admire THEE and thy good taste? I wondered,
- 3:52:32Speaker 3: am I who have walked long at thy heats, always
- 3:52:36Speaker 3: on the way, but without a goal, also without a home?
- 3:52:42Speaker 3: Said verily, I lack little of being the eternally wandering Jew,
- 3:52:48Speaker 3: except that I am not eternal and not a jew.
- 3:52:52Speaker 3: What must I ever be on the way, will by
- 3:52:56Speaker 3: every wind unsettled? When about o earth thou hast become
- 3:53:04Speaker 3: too round for me? On every surface, how I already
- 3:53:08Speaker 3: sat like tired? Dost have I fall asleep on mirrors
- 3:53:13Speaker 3: and window panes. Everything taketh from me? Nothing giveth I
- 3:53:18Speaker 3: become thin. I am almost equal to my shadow after THEE. However,
- 3:53:25Speaker 3: Ouzatustra didn't fly in high longest, And though I hid
- 3:53:32Speaker 3: myself from THEE, I was nevertheless thy best shadow. Wherever
- 3:53:37Speaker 3: thou hast sat there sat I also with THEE? Have
- 3:53:43Speaker 3: I wandered about in the remotest coldest worlds like a
- 3:53:48Speaker 3: phantom that voluntarily haunteth winter roofs and snows. With THEE?
- 3:53:54Speaker 3: Have I pushed into all the forbidden, all the worst,
- 3:53:58Speaker 3: and the furthest And if there be anything of virtue
- 3:54:02Speaker 3: in me, it is that I have had no fear
- 3:54:06Speaker 3: of any prohibition? With THEE? Have I broken up whatever
- 3:54:10Speaker 3: my heart revered? All boundary stones and statues? Have I
- 3:54:15Speaker 3: overthrown the most dangerous wishes? Did I pursue verily beyond
- 3:54:21Speaker 3: every crime? Did I once go with THEE? Did I
- 3:54:26Speaker 3: learn the belief in words and words in great names.
- 3:54:31Speaker 3: When the devil casteth his skin, it doth not his
- 3:54:34Speaker 3: name also fall away? It is also skin the devil
- 3:54:39Speaker 3: himself is perhaps skin. Nothing is true, all is permitted,
- 3:54:46Speaker 3: So said I to myself, into the coldest water. Did
- 3:54:50Speaker 3: I plunge with head and heart?
- 3:54:52Speaker 4: Ah?
- 3:54:53Speaker 3: How oft did I stand there, naked on that account
- 3:54:58Speaker 3: like a red crab?
- 3:55:00Speaker 4: Ah?
- 3:55:01Speaker 3: Where I have gone all my goodness and all my shame,
- 3:55:06Speaker 3: and all my belief in the good?
- 3:55:08Speaker 4: Ah?
- 3:55:09Speaker 3: Where is the lying innocence which I once possessed, the
- 3:55:13Speaker 3: innocence of the good and of their noble lies? Too oft?
- 3:55:19Speaker 3: Verily DIDRE follow close to the heels of truth? Then
- 3:55:24Speaker 3: did it kick me on the face? Sometimes I am
- 3:55:27Speaker 3: meant to lie and behold? Then only did I hate
- 3:55:31Speaker 3: that truth? Too much had become clear to me. Now
- 3:55:36Speaker 3: it doth not concern me any more. Nothing liveth any
- 3:55:41Speaker 3: longer that I love? How should I still love myself?
- 3:55:48Speaker 3: To live as I incline, or not to live at all?
- 3:55:52Speaker 3: So do I wish? So wisheth also the holiest? But
- 3:55:57Speaker 3: alas how have I still inclination? Am I still a
- 3:56:02Speaker 3: goal I haven towards which my sail is set? A
- 3:56:06Speaker 3: good wind. Ah, he only who knoweth whither he saileth
- 3:56:13Speaker 3: knoweth what wind is good and a fair wind for him.
- 3:56:18Speaker 3: What still remaineth to me a heart weary and flippant
- 3:56:23Speaker 3: and unstable will fluttering wings. I broke in backbone. This
- 3:56:30Speaker 3: seeking for my home was a tustra. Doost thou know
- 3:56:34Speaker 3: that this seeking hath been my home? Sickening? It eateth
- 3:56:38Speaker 3: me up? Where is my home? For it? Too? I
- 3:56:43Speaker 3: ask and seek, and have sought, but have not found it?
- 3:56:48Speaker 3: Oh eternal everywhere, oh e turnal nowhere, oh E turnal
- 3:56:54Speaker 3: in vain. Thus bake the shadow and the twustra's continents
- 3:57:00Speaker 3: lendered at his words. Thou art my shadow, said he
- 3:57:06Speaker 3: at last, sadly, thy danger is but small, Thou free
- 3:57:11Speaker 3: spirit and wanderer. Thou hast had a bad day, see
- 3:57:17Speaker 3: that a still worse evening. Doth not overtake thee to
- 3:57:22Speaker 3: such unsettled ones as thou seemest at last even a
- 3:57:26Speaker 3: prisoner blessed? Didst thou ever see how captured criminal's sleep
- 3:57:33Speaker 3: they sleep quietly. They enjoy their new security, bewail lest
- 3:57:39Speaker 3: in the end, a narrow faith capture thee, a hard,
- 3:57:44Speaker 3: rigorous delusion. For thou everything that is narrow and fixed
- 3:57:49Speaker 3: seduceth and tempteth thee. Thou hast lost thy goal. Alas,
- 3:57:55Speaker 3: how wilt thou forego and forget that loss? Thereby hast
- 3:58:01Speaker 3: thou also lost thy way, Thou poor rover and rambler
- 3:58:07Speaker 3: thou tide, But to fly wilt thou have a rest
- 3:58:12Speaker 3: and a home this evening? Then go up to my cave.
- 3:58:17Speaker 3: Thither leadeth thou way to my cave. And now will
- 3:58:20Speaker 3: I run quickly away from thee again already alith as
- 3:58:26Speaker 3: it for a shadow upon me, I will run alone,
- 3:58:30Speaker 3: so that it may again become bright around me. Therefore,
- 3:58:34Speaker 3: which I still be a long time merely upon my legs.
- 3:58:38Speaker 3: In the evening, however, there will be dancing with me.
- 3:58:44Speaker 3: Thus paked Ratustra. End of Chapter sixty nine, Part four,
- 3:58:53Speaker 3: Chapter seventy noon tide and Zaratushtra ran and ran, but
- 3:59:01Speaker 3: he found no one else, and was alathe, and ever
- 3:59:05Speaker 3: found himself again. He enjoyed and quaffed his solitude and
- 3:59:10Speaker 3: thought of good things for hours. About the hour of
- 3:59:14Speaker 3: noon died. However, when the sun stood exactly over the
- 3:59:18Speaker 3: Tustra's head, he passed an old bent and nile tree,
- 3:59:24Speaker 3: which was encircled round by ardent love of a wine,
- 3:59:28Speaker 3: and hidden from itself. From this there hung yellow grapes
- 3:59:33Speaker 3: in abundance, confronting the wanderer. Then he felt inclined to
- 3:59:39Speaker 3: quench a little thirst and to break off for himself
- 3:59:42Speaker 3: a cluster of grapes. When, however, he had already his
- 3:59:47Speaker 3: arm outstretched for that purpose, he felt still more inclined
- 3:59:52Speaker 3: for something else, namely to lie down beside the tree
- 3:59:57Speaker 3: at the hour of perfect moon. Died as sleep. This
- 4:00:02Speaker 3: Zaratushtra did, And no sooner had delayed himself on the
- 4:00:06Speaker 3: ground in the stillness and secrecy of the variegated grass,
- 4:00:12Speaker 3: than he had forgotten his little thirst and fell asleep.
- 4:00:16Speaker 3: For as the prowo of Zathustras said, one thing is
- 4:00:21Speaker 3: more necessary than the other. Only that his eyes remained open,
- 4:00:27Speaker 3: for they never grew weary of viewing and admiring that
- 4:00:31Speaker 3: tree and the love of the wine. In falling asleep, however,
- 4:00:37Speaker 3: Zathustras spake thus to his heart, Hush, hush, hath not
- 4:00:43Speaker 3: the world now become perfect? What hath happened unto me?
- 4:00:48Speaker 3: As a delicate wing danceth invisibly upon paquetted seas light
- 4:00:54Speaker 3: feather light, so danceth sleep upon me? Doth it close
- 4:01:01Speaker 3: to me? It leaveth my soul awake? Light? Is it wearily?
- 4:01:07Speaker 3: Feather light? It persuadeth me. I know not how it
- 4:01:13Speaker 3: toucheth me in wildly with a caressing hand. It constraineth me. Yeah,
- 4:01:20Speaker 3: it constraineth me, so that my soul stretcheth itself out.
- 4:01:26Speaker 3: How long and weary it becometh my strange soul. Hath
- 4:01:31Speaker 3: the seventh day evening come to it precisely at noon tide?
- 4:01:36Speaker 3: Hath it already wondered too long bisfully among good and
- 4:01:40Speaker 3: ripe things? It stretched itself out long longer it lies
- 4:01:47Speaker 3: till my strange soul too many good things? Hath it
- 4:01:52Speaker 3: already tasted? This golden sadness oppresseth it. It distorteth its mouth.
- 4:01:59Speaker 3: As a ship that putteth into the calmest cove, It
- 4:02:04Speaker 3: now drieth up to the land, wary of long wages
- 4:02:08Speaker 3: and uncertain sees? Is not the land more faithful as
- 4:02:14Speaker 3: such a ship huggeth the shore, that geth the shore.
- 4:02:18Speaker 3: Then it sufficeth for a spider to spin its spread
- 4:02:23Speaker 3: from the ship to the land. The stronger ropes are
- 4:02:26Speaker 3: required there as such a very ship in the calmest core.
- 4:02:32Speaker 3: So do I also now repose nigh to the earth, faithful, trusting, waiting,
- 4:02:39Speaker 3: bound to eat with the lightest threads oer happiness, Oh happiness.
- 4:02:45Speaker 3: Wilt thou perhaps sing o my soul? Thou liest in
- 4:02:50Speaker 3: the grass, which is the secret solemn hour, when those
- 4:02:55Speaker 3: shepherd plait his pipe, take care, hot noon tide sleepeth
- 4:03:01Speaker 3: on the fields. Do not sing hush the world is perfect.
- 4:03:08Speaker 3: Do not sing, thou, bravery bird my soul. Do not
- 4:03:12Speaker 3: even whisper lo hush the old noon tide sleepeth it,
- 4:03:18Speaker 3: moveth its mouth? Doth it not just now? Drink a
- 4:03:22Speaker 3: drop of happiness, an old brown drop of golden happiness,
- 4:03:28Speaker 3: golden wine, something which keith over it its happiness. Laugh
- 4:03:34Speaker 3: it thus laugheth a god hush for happiness. How little
- 4:03:41Speaker 3: sufficeth for happiness. The spake eye once and thought myself wise,
- 4:03:47Speaker 3: But it was blasphemy that have iron nor learned wise.
- 4:03:52Speaker 3: Fools speak better the least thing, precisely, the gendlest thing.
- 4:03:59Speaker 3: The lighting, a lizard's rustling, a breath, our whisk and
- 4:04:05Speaker 3: eye glance, little maketh up the best happiness? Hush, what
- 4:04:11Speaker 3: hath befallen me?
- 4:04:13Speaker 4: Hark?
- 4:04:14Speaker 3: Had time flown away? Do I not fall? I went
- 4:04:19Speaker 3: not fallen, hark into the well of eternity? What happeneth
- 4:04:25Speaker 3: to me? Hush? It tingeth me alas to the heart,
- 4:04:31Speaker 3: to the heart, Oh, break up, break up my heart,
- 4:04:36Speaker 3: after such happiness, after such a sting, What hath not
- 4:04:42Speaker 3: the world just not become perfect? Round and ripe? Oh
- 4:04:47Speaker 3: for the golden round ring? Whither does it fly? Let
- 4:04:52Speaker 3: me run after it? Quick? Hush? And there the Tustra
- 4:04:57Speaker 3: stratched himself and felt that he was asleep. Up, said
- 4:05:03Speaker 3: he to himself, Thou sleeper, Thou noon tight sleeper? Well,
- 4:05:09Speaker 3: then up your old legs. It is time, and more
- 4:05:13Speaker 3: than time, when a good stretch of road is still
- 4:05:17Speaker 3: awaiting you. Now have you slept your fill for how
- 4:05:24Speaker 3: long a time? A half? Eternity? Well? Then up now
- 4:05:30Speaker 3: mine old heart? For how long after such a sleep?
- 4:05:34Speaker 3: Mayst thou remain awake? But then clee fall asleep anew
- 4:05:42Speaker 3: and his soul spake against him and defend itself and
- 4:05:47Speaker 3: lay down again? Leave me alone? Hush, had not the
- 4:05:52Speaker 3: world just now become perfect? Oh? For the golden round ball,
- 4:05:58Speaker 3: Get up, said their Tustra, Thou little thief, Thou sluggard,
- 4:06:04Speaker 3: what still stretching thyself yawning, signing, falling into deep wells.
- 4:06:11Speaker 3: Who art thou then o my soul? And here he
- 4:06:16Speaker 3: became frightened, for a sunbeam shot down from heaven upon
- 4:06:20Speaker 3: his face. Oh heaven above me, said he, sighing, and
- 4:06:26Speaker 3: sat upright. Thou gazest at me. Thou art canst unto
- 4:06:31Speaker 3: my strange soul. When wilt thou drink this drop of
- 4:06:38Speaker 3: dew that fell down on all earthly things. When wilt
- 4:06:42Speaker 3: thou drink this strange soul, when thou well of eternity,
- 4:06:48Speaker 3: Thou joyest awful noon, tight abyss, when wilt thou drink
- 4:06:53Speaker 3: my soul back into thee. Thus spake Zirtustra and rose
- 4:07:00Speaker 3: from his couch beside the tree, as awakening from a
- 4:07:04Speaker 3: strange drunkenness. And behold they stood the sun still exactly
- 4:07:10Speaker 3: above his head. One night, however, rightly infer therefrom the
- 4:07:16Speaker 3: Zaratustra had not then slept long end of chapter seventy
- 4:07:24Speaker 3: by four Chapter seventy one, the greeting, It was late
- 4:07:33Speaker 3: in the afternoon only when their Tustra, after a long
- 4:07:38Speaker 3: useless searching and strolling about again, came home to his cave. When, however,
- 4:07:46Speaker 3: he stood over against it, not more than twenty paces
- 4:07:50Speaker 3: they were from the thing happened which in our last
- 4:07:54Speaker 3: of all expected. He heard anew, the great cry of distress,
- 4:08:01Speaker 3: an extraordinary. This time the cry came out of his
- 4:08:05Speaker 3: own cave. It was a long, manifold, peculiar cry, and
- 4:08:11Speaker 3: the dustra plainly distinguished that it was composed of many voices,
- 4:08:18Speaker 3: although heard at a distance it might sound like the
- 4:08:21Speaker 3: cry out of a single mouth. There Upon, their Tustra
- 4:08:26Speaker 3: rushed forward to his cave, and behold, would have spectacle
- 4:08:31Speaker 3: awaited him after that consult, For they did. They all
- 4:08:36Speaker 3: sit together, whom he had passed during the day, the
- 4:08:41Speaker 3: King on the right and the king on the left,
- 4:08:44Speaker 3: the old magician, the Pope, the voluntary bearer, the shadow,
- 4:08:52Speaker 3: the intellectually conscientious one, the sorrowful soothsayer, and the ass
- 4:09:00Speaker 3: The ugliest man, however, had set a crown on his
- 4:09:04Speaker 3: head and had put round him to purple girdles for
- 4:09:09Speaker 3: a light. Like all ugly ones, disguise himself and play
- 4:09:14Speaker 3: the handsome person in the midst However, of their sorrowful
- 4:09:20Speaker 3: company stood Latoustra's eagle, ruffled and disquieted, for it had
- 4:09:26Speaker 3: been called upon to answer too much, for its pride
- 4:09:30Speaker 3: had not any answer. The wise Soupid, however, hung round
- 4:09:34Speaker 3: its neck. All this did lattoo straub behold with great astonishment. Then, however,
- 4:09:43Speaker 3: he scrutinized each individual quest with courteous curiosity, read their souls,
- 4:09:51Speaker 3: and wandered anew. In the meantime, the symbol words had
- 4:09:57Speaker 3: risen from the seeds and waited with reverence. Yahoo ish
- 4:10:01Speaker 3: right to speak. Ratustra, however, spake does a despairing once
- 4:10:09Speaker 3: a strange one. So it was your cry of distress
- 4:10:13Speaker 3: that I heard. And now do I know also where
- 4:10:18Speaker 3: he is to be sought? Whom I have sought for
- 4:10:21Speaker 3: in vain today the higher man in mine own cave
- 4:10:26Speaker 3: sitteth e the higher Man. But why do I wonder?
- 4:10:30Speaker 3: Have not I myself allured him to me by honey
- 4:10:34Speaker 3: offerings and artful low calls of my happiness? But it
- 4:10:39Speaker 3: seemed to me that yea are badly adapted for company.
- 4:10:44Speaker 3: You make one another's hearts fretful, ye hate it cry
- 4:10:48Speaker 3: for help when you sit here together there is one
- 4:10:53Speaker 3: that must first come, one who will make you laugh
- 4:10:56Speaker 3: even more. A good job will buffoon a dancer, a wind,
- 4:11:02Speaker 3: a wild wrong, some old fool. What think ye forgive me, however,
- 4:11:10Speaker 3: the despairing ones for speaking such trible words before you?
- 4:11:15Speaker 3: Unworthy warily of such guess, But ye do not have
- 4:11:20Speaker 3: divine but maketh my heart wanton yeah, yourselves to it
- 4:11:25Speaker 3: and your aspect forgive it me. For every one becometh courageous,
- 4:11:31Speaker 3: who beholdeth a despairing one to encourage a despairing one,
- 4:11:37Speaker 3: every one thinketh himself strong enough to do so to myself?
- 4:11:42Speaker 3: Have you given this power? A good gift mine, honorable guests,
- 4:11:47Speaker 3: an excellent guest present, Well, do not then upbraid when
- 4:11:52Speaker 3: I also offer you something of mine. This is mine
- 4:11:56Speaker 3: empire and my dominion, that which is my. However, shall
- 4:12:02Speaker 3: this evening and tonight be yours mine? Animals shall serve you,
- 4:12:07Speaker 3: Let my cave be your resting place at house and
- 4:12:13Speaker 3: home with me? Shall oven despair? In my earliest do
- 4:12:17Speaker 3: I protect everyone from his wild beast? And that is
- 4:12:22Speaker 3: the first thing which I offer you security. The second thing, however,
- 4:12:28Speaker 3: is my little finger. And when you have that then
- 4:12:32Speaker 3: take whole hand also, yeah, and the heart with it.
- 4:12:38Speaker 3: Welcome here, Welcome to you, my guests. Those pays are
- 4:12:45Speaker 3: to extra and loved with love and receieve. After this greeting,
- 4:12:51Speaker 3: his case bowed wismore, and were reventually silent. The king
- 4:12:57Speaker 3: on the right, however, and him in their name of Zatustra.
- 4:13:03Speaker 3: By the way in which thou hast given us thy
- 4:13:07Speaker 3: hand and thy greeting, we recognized thee as Zustra. Thou
- 4:13:12Speaker 3: hast humbled thyself before us, almost hast thou hurt our reverence, Who, however,
- 4:13:19Speaker 3: could have humbled himself as thou hast turned, which hast
- 4:13:23Speaker 3: pride that uplifted us ourselves a refreshment? Is it to
- 4:13:29Speaker 3: our eyes and hearts to behold this? Merely? Gladly would
- 4:13:34Speaker 3: we ascend higher mountains than this, For as eager beholders
- 4:13:39Speaker 3: have become, we wanted to see what brightened name eyes?
- 4:13:45Speaker 3: And lo Now is it all over? With our cries
- 4:13:50Speaker 3: of distress? Now aret our minds and hearts open and enraptured.
- 4:13:56Speaker 3: Little is lacking for our firits to become wanton. There
- 4:14:01Speaker 3: is nothing of Zarathustra that groweth more placingly on earth
- 4:14:06Speaker 3: than a lofty, strong will. It is the finest growth
- 4:14:11Speaker 3: an entire landscape, refresheth itself at once, a stree to
- 4:14:18Speaker 3: the pine. Do I compare him of Arthushtra, which groweth
- 4:14:22Speaker 3: up like the tall, silent, hardy solitary of the best
- 4:14:29Speaker 3: surplused wood. Stately in the end, however, grasping out for
- 4:14:38Speaker 3: its dominion with strong green branches, asking weighty questions of
- 4:14:43Speaker 3: the wind, the storm, and whatever is at home on
- 4:14:47Speaker 3: high places, answering more wakely a commander, a victor, oh,
- 4:14:54Speaker 3: who should not astain high mountains to behold such growths
- 4:14:59Speaker 3: and died tree or Zaratustra. The gloomy and ill constituted
- 4:15:04Speaker 3: also refreshed themselves as they look e when the wavering
- 4:15:09Speaker 3: becomes steady and heal their hearts, and verily towards thy
- 4:15:14Speaker 3: mountain and thy tree.
- 4:15:16Speaker 6: Doo.
- 4:15:16Speaker 3: Many eyes turned today a great longing hath horizon, and
- 4:15:22Speaker 3: many have learned to ask who is Zaratustra? And those
- 4:15:28Speaker 3: into whose ears thou hast at any time dripped thy
- 4:15:32Speaker 3: song and thy honey. All the hidden ones, the lone
- 4:15:37Speaker 3: dwellers and the twain dwellers have simultaneously said to their
- 4:15:42Speaker 3: hearts doth Ratustra still life? Is it no longer worthwhile
- 4:15:49Speaker 3: to live? Everything is indifferent, everything is useless, Or else
- 4:15:55Speaker 3: we must live with Zaratustra. Why doth he not come,
- 4:16:01Speaker 3: who had so long announced himself? Thus too many people
- 4:16:05Speaker 3: ask had solitude swallowed him up? Or should he perhaps
- 4:16:10Speaker 3: go up to him? Now does it come to pass
- 4:16:14Speaker 3: the solitude itself becometh fragile and breaketh open, like a
- 4:16:19Speaker 3: grave that breaketh open and can no longer hold its stead.
- 4:16:24Speaker 3: Everywhere one seeth resurrected ones. Now do the waves rise
- 4:16:30Speaker 3: and rise around the mountain Zatustra, And however high be
- 4:16:36Speaker 3: thy height, many of them must rise up to thee.
- 4:16:40Speaker 3: Thy aboe shall not rest much longer on rye ground.
- 4:16:44Speaker 3: And that we despairing words have now come into thy cave,
- 4:16:49Speaker 3: and already no longer despair. It is but a prognostic
- 4:16:54Speaker 3: and a presage that better ones are on the way
- 4:16:57Speaker 3: to thee, for they themselves are on their way to
- 4:17:01Speaker 3: the the last remnant of God. Among men, that is
- 4:17:07Speaker 3: to say, all the men of great longing, of great loathing,
- 4:17:13Speaker 3: of great satiety, all who don't want to live unless
- 4:17:18Speaker 3: they learn again to hope, unless they learn from thee
- 4:17:22Speaker 3: of Zathushtra, the great hope. Those made the King on
- 4:17:29Speaker 3: the right and seized the hand of Yadushtra in order
- 4:17:33Speaker 3: to kiss it, But Zadushtra checked his veneration instead back frightened,
- 4:17:40Speaker 3: fleeing as it were, silently and suddenly into the far distance.
- 4:17:45Speaker 3: After a little while, however, he was again at home
- 4:17:50Speaker 3: with his guests, looked at them with clear scrutinizing eyes,
- 4:17:55Speaker 3: and said, my guess, he hire men, I will speak
- 4:18:02Speaker 3: plain language and plainly with you. It is not for
- 4:18:05Speaker 3: you that I have waited here in these mountains, plain
- 4:18:10Speaker 3: language and painly. Good God, said here the king on
- 4:18:16Speaker 3: the left to himself, once seeth he does not know
- 4:18:21Speaker 3: the good occidentals this stage out of the Orient, but
- 4:18:27Speaker 3: he meaneth blunt language and bluntly. Well, that is not
- 4:18:32Speaker 3: the worst stage in these days. He may verily all
- 4:18:37Speaker 3: of you be hire men, continued za Tustra. But for
- 4:18:43Speaker 3: me they are neither high enough nor strong enough for me,
- 4:18:49Speaker 3: that is to say, for the inexorable, which is now
- 4:18:52Speaker 3: silent in me, but will not always be silent. And
- 4:18:57Speaker 3: if you appertain to me, it is not as my
- 4:19:00Speaker 3: right arm. For he who himself standeth like you on
- 4:19:05Speaker 3: sticky and tender legs. Wish it above all to be
- 4:19:08Speaker 3: treated indulgently, whether he be conscious of it or hire
- 4:19:13Speaker 3: it for himself, my arms and my legs. However, I
- 4:19:19Speaker 3: do not treat indulgently. I do not treat my warriors indulgently.
- 4:19:24Speaker 3: How then could he be fit for my warfare with you?
- 4:19:29Speaker 3: I spoil all my victrees, and many of you would
- 4:19:33Speaker 3: tumble over if yea but heard the loud beating of
- 4:19:37Speaker 3: my drums. Moreover, he are not sufficiently beautiful and well
- 4:19:42Speaker 3: born for me. I require pure smooth mirrors for my
- 4:19:47Speaker 3: doctrine on your surface. Ifn mine own likeness is distorted
- 4:19:53Speaker 3: on your shoulders, presseth many a burden, many a recollection,
- 4:19:58Speaker 3: many a mischiefist, dwarf squatteth in your corners. There is
- 4:20:03Speaker 3: concealed populous also in you. And though yey be high
- 4:20:08Speaker 3: and of a higher type, much in you is crooked
- 4:20:12Speaker 3: and mishappen. There is no smith in a world that
- 4:20:16Speaker 3: could hammer you right and straight for me, Hey, our
- 4:20:20Speaker 3: only bridges may high words pass over upon you. You
- 4:20:25Speaker 3: signify steps. So do not upbraid him who assenteth beyond
- 4:20:30Speaker 3: you into his height. Out of your seat. They may
- 4:20:34Speaker 3: one day arise for me a jenuinson and perfect hair,
- 4:20:39Speaker 3: But that time is distant. Yeah, yourselves are not those
- 4:20:43Speaker 3: into whom my heritage and name belong. Not for you
- 4:20:48Speaker 3: do I wait here in these mountains, Not with you?
- 4:20:52Speaker 3: May I descend for the last time. We have come
- 4:20:56Speaker 3: unto me only as a prisage that high ones are
- 4:20:59Speaker 3: on the way to me, Not the men of great longing,
- 4:21:03Speaker 3: of great loathing, of great satiety, and that which you
- 4:21:08Speaker 3: call the remnant of God. Nay, nay, three times nay
- 4:21:15Speaker 3: for others do I wait here in these mountains and
- 4:21:19Speaker 3: will not lift my foot from thence without them? For
- 4:21:24Speaker 3: higher ones, stronger ones, triumphant ones, merrier ones, for such
- 4:21:30Speaker 3: as are built squarely in body and soul. Laughing lines
- 4:21:35Speaker 3: must come, Oh, my guests, your strange ones. Have you
- 4:21:40Speaker 3: heard nothing of my children, and that they are on
- 4:21:44Speaker 3: the way to me? You speak unto me of my gardens,
- 4:21:49Speaker 3: of my happy eyes, of my new beautiful rays. Why
- 4:21:54Speaker 3: do ye not speak? And to me thereof this guest,
- 4:21:58Speaker 3: present a solicity of your love that you spake, and
- 4:22:02Speaker 3: to me of my children? For them am I rich?
- 4:22:06Speaker 3: For them I became poor, have and not surrendered what
- 4:22:11Speaker 3: would a not surrendered that I might have one thing,
- 4:22:15Speaker 3: these children, this living plantation, these life trees of my
- 4:22:20Speaker 3: will and my highest hope. They spake their tuxtra and stopped.
- 4:22:28Speaker 3: Suddenly in his doctrin, for his longing came over him,
- 4:22:34Speaker 3: and he closed his eyes and his mouth because of
- 4:22:37Speaker 3: the agitation of his heart. And all his guests were
- 4:22:42Speaker 3: also silent and stood there and confounded, except only that
- 4:22:48Speaker 3: the old soothsayer made signs with his hands and his gestues.
- 4:22:57Speaker 3: End of chapter seventy one, part for chapter seventy two,
- 4:23:04Speaker 3: the Supper. For at this point the soothsayer interrupted the
- 4:23:11Speaker 3: greeting of Zathustra and his case. He pressed forward as
- 4:23:16Speaker 3: one who had no time to lose, seized Drathustra's hand
- 4:23:20Speaker 3: and exclaimed, But, Zarathustra, one thing is more necessary than
- 4:23:25Speaker 3: the other, So you sayest thou thyself, well, one thing
- 4:23:30Speaker 3: is now more necessary undo me than all others a
- 4:23:35Speaker 3: word at the right time. This thou not invite me
- 4:23:39Speaker 3: to table. And here are many who have made long journeys,
- 4:23:46Speaker 3: though those not mean to feed us merely with discourses. Besides,
- 4:23:53Speaker 3: all of you have thought too much about freezing, drowning, suffocating,
- 4:23:58Speaker 3: and other bodily dangers. None of you, however, have thought
- 4:24:03Speaker 3: of my danger, namely perishing of hunger. Thus make the soothsayer.
- 4:24:11Speaker 3: When Rathushtra's animals, however, heard these words, they ran away
- 4:24:17Speaker 3: in terror, for they saw it all they had brought
- 4:24:22Speaker 3: home during that day would not be enough to fill
- 4:24:26Speaker 3: the one soothsayer. Likewise, perishing of thirst, continued tazothsayer. And
- 4:24:35Speaker 3: although I hear water splashing here like words of wisdom,
- 4:24:40Speaker 3: that is to say, plenteously and unwariedly, I want wine.
- 4:24:47Speaker 3: Not everyone is a bond water drinker like Zarathushtra. Neither
- 4:24:52Speaker 3: did water suit very and withered ones. We deserve wine.
- 4:24:57Speaker 3: It alone gave it immediate vigor and improvised health. On
- 4:25:05Speaker 3: this occasion, when the soothsayer was longing for wine, it
- 4:25:10Speaker 3: happened that a king on the left, the silent one,
- 4:25:14Speaker 3: also found expression. For once he took care, said he
- 4:25:22Speaker 3: about wine. I, along with my brother, the king on
- 4:25:26Speaker 3: the right, we have enough of wine our whole, aslord
- 4:25:31Speaker 3: of eight, so there is nothing lacked but bread. Bread,
- 4:25:38Speaker 3: replied Zarthustra, laughing when he spake, it is precisely bred
- 4:25:44Speaker 3: that anchries have naught but man doth not live by
- 4:25:48Speaker 3: bread alone, and also by the flesh of good lambs,
- 4:25:52Speaker 3: of which I have two. These shall be slaughtered up
- 4:25:57Speaker 3: quickly and quake sparsely with sage. It is so that
- 4:26:02Speaker 3: I like them. And there is also no lack of
- 4:26:06Speaker 3: roots and fruits good enough even for the fastidious indentity,
- 4:26:12Speaker 3: not the nuts and other riddles for cracking. Thus will
- 4:26:19Speaker 3: we have a good repast in a little while. But
- 4:26:23Speaker 3: whoever wish to eat with us must also give a
- 4:26:27Speaker 3: hand to the work, even the kings, For with Zatustra,
- 4:26:32Speaker 3: even a king may be a cook. This proposal appeared
- 4:26:39Speaker 3: to the hearts of all of them, save that the
- 4:26:43Speaker 3: voluntary beggar objected to the flesh in wine and spices.
- 4:26:50Speaker 3: Just hear this, glettens Lathustra, said he dukingly doth of
- 4:26:55Speaker 3: one go into caves in high mountains to make such repairs. Now,
- 4:27:02Speaker 3: indeed do I understand, But he once taught us blessed
- 4:27:07Speaker 3: be moderate poverty. And why he wisheth to do away
- 4:27:11Speaker 3: with beggars? Be good of cheer, replied Datustra, as I
- 4:27:18Speaker 3: am abide by the customs, Thou excellent one, grind thy corn,
- 4:27:25Speaker 3: drink thy water, raise thy cooking, if only it make
- 4:27:30Speaker 3: thee glad. I am a law only for my own.
- 4:27:37Speaker 3: I am not allah for all. He however, who belongeth
- 4:27:43Speaker 3: unto me must be strong of both and light of food,
- 4:27:48Speaker 3: joyous in fight and feast, No sulker, no john nor dreams,
- 4:27:54Speaker 3: ready for the hardest task, as for the feast, healthy
- 4:27:58Speaker 3: and hal The best belongeth unto mine and me. And
- 4:28:03Speaker 3: if it be not given us, then do we take it?
- 4:28:07Speaker 3: The best food, the purest s guy, the strongest thoughts,
- 4:28:13Speaker 3: the fairest woman. Plus spake Zirthustra. The King on the right, however,
- 4:28:21Speaker 3: answered and said, strange, did you will ever hear such
- 4:28:26Speaker 3: sensible things out of the mouth of a wise man?
- 4:28:32Speaker 3: And verily it is the strangest thing in a wise man,
- 4:28:36Speaker 3: if over and above he is still sensible and not
- 4:28:40Speaker 3: an ass. This spake the King on the right, and
- 4:28:46Speaker 3: wondered the ass however, with if will, said he add
- 4:28:53Speaker 3: to his remark. This, however, was the beginning of that
- 4:28:59Speaker 3: long repast, which is called this supper in the history books.
- 4:29:05Speaker 3: And this there was nothing else spoken of but the
- 4:29:10Speaker 3: higher man. End of Chapter seventy two Piet four, Chapter
- 4:29:19Speaker 3: seventy three the higher man one. When I came into
- 4:29:28Speaker 3: men for the first time, Then did I commit the
- 4:29:31Speaker 3: anchored folly, the great folly I appeared on the marketplace.
- 4:29:37Speaker 3: And when I spake until all, I spake unto none.
- 4:29:41Speaker 3: In the evening, however, wrote dancers for my companions, and corpses,
- 4:29:47Speaker 3: and myself almost a corpse. With the new morning, however,
- 4:29:54Speaker 3: they came unto me a new truth. Then did I
- 4:29:57Speaker 3: learn to say of what a count to me? A
- 4:30:01Speaker 3: marketplace and populace and populist noise and long populist ears.
- 4:30:08Speaker 3: Yea higher men learn this from me on the marketplace
- 4:30:13Speaker 3: there will believe it in higher men. But if we
- 4:30:16Speaker 3: will speak there very well. The populace, however, blinketh we
- 4:30:23Speaker 3: are all equal, ye hire men, So blinketh the populace.
- 4:30:29Speaker 3: There are no higher men. We are all equal. Man
- 4:30:33Speaker 3: is man before God. We are all equal before God. Now, however,
- 4:30:42Speaker 3: this God had died before the populace. However, we will
- 4:30:48Speaker 3: not be equal the higher men away from the marketplace.
- 4:30:56Speaker 3: Section two. Before God. Now, however, this God had died,
- 4:31:02Speaker 3: the hire men, this God was your greatest danger. Only
- 4:31:07Speaker 3: since he lay in the grave. Have you again, Arizon,
- 4:31:11Speaker 3: Now only cometh the great moon tide. Now only doth
- 4:31:15Speaker 3: the hire man become master? Have you understood this word? Oh,
- 4:31:20Speaker 3: my brethren, you are frightened. Do your heart string kiddie
- 4:31:26Speaker 3: to the abbe is here yawn for you do the
- 4:31:29Speaker 3: hell hound here help at you? Well? Take heart? They
- 4:31:35Speaker 3: hire men now only traveth the mountain of the human future.
- 4:31:41Speaker 3: God had died. Now do we desire the superman to live? Three?
- 4:31:50Speaker 3: The most careful ask today how is man to be maintained? Tatustra? However,
- 4:31:57Speaker 3: asketh as the first annually, how is man to be
- 4:32:01Speaker 3: surpassed the superman? I have at heart? That is the
- 4:32:07Speaker 3: first and the only thing to me, And not man,
- 4:32:11Speaker 3: not the neighbor, not the poorest, not the sorriest, not
- 4:32:16Speaker 3: the best. O my brethren, what can I love in
- 4:32:20Speaker 3: man is that he is an overgoing and down gooing.
- 4:32:25Speaker 3: And also in you there is much that maketh me
- 4:32:28Speaker 3: love and hope in that ye have despised, Ye hire men,
- 4:32:34Speaker 3: that maketh me hope. That the great despises are the
- 4:32:38Speaker 3: great riverers. In that you have despaired, there is much
- 4:32:43Speaker 3: to honor, for you have not learned to submit yourselves.
- 4:32:47Speaker 3: You have not learned pretty policy, For to day have
- 4:32:52Speaker 3: petty people become master. They all preach submission and humility,
- 4:32:57Speaker 3: and policy and diligence in consideration and the long et
- 4:33:02Speaker 3: cetera of petty virtues. Whatever is the effeminate type, whatever
- 4:33:08Speaker 3: originated from the servile type, and especially in the populous mismash,
- 4:33:14Speaker 3: that wish it now to be master of all human destiny,
- 4:33:18Speaker 3: or disgusted disgusted disgust that asketh and asketh and never diareth,
- 4:33:25Speaker 3: how is man to maintain himself best, longest, most pleasantly.
- 4:33:31Speaker 3: Thereby are they the masters of today? These masters of
- 4:33:37Speaker 3: today surpassed him, Oh, my brethren, these petty people, their
- 4:33:42Speaker 3: superman's greatest danger surpass a ya man, the petty virtues,
- 4:33:49Speaker 3: the petty policy, the sangreen considerateness, the ant hill trumpery,
- 4:33:55Speaker 3: the pitable comfortableness, the happiness of the greatest number in
- 4:34:01Speaker 3: rather despair than submit yourselves. And verily I love you
- 4:34:07Speaker 3: because ye know not to day how to live, ye
- 4:34:10Speaker 3: higher men, for thus do ye live best? For I
- 4:34:18Speaker 3: have yer courage, O, my brethren, are you stouthearted? Not
- 4:34:23Speaker 3: the courage before the witness, but anchorite and eager courage?
- 4:34:27Speaker 3: Which not even a god any longer beholdeth cold souls, mules,
- 4:34:33Speaker 3: the blind, and the drunken. I do not cause stouthearted
- 4:34:38Speaker 3: he had a heart who knoweth fear, But vanquisheth it
- 4:34:43Speaker 3: who seeth the abbys. But with pride, he who seeth
- 4:34:48Speaker 3: the abyss. But with eagle's eyes, He who with eagles
- 4:34:52Speaker 3: talents graspeth the abbys, he hath courage. Five. Man is evil,
- 4:35:02Speaker 3: so said to me, for consolation all the wisest ones. Ah,
- 4:35:07Speaker 3: if only it be still true to day. For the
- 4:35:11Speaker 3: evil is man's best. Worse man must become better and eviler.
- 4:35:17Speaker 3: So do I teach the evilest is necessary for the
- 4:35:21Speaker 3: superman's best. It may have been well for the feature
- 4:35:25Speaker 3: of the petty people to suffer and be burdened by
- 4:35:28Speaker 3: men's sin. I, however, rejoice in great sin and my consolation.
- 4:35:35Speaker 3: Such things, however, and not said for long ears. Every
- 4:35:40Speaker 3: word also is not suited for every mouth. These our
- 4:35:45Speaker 3: fine faraway things, at them sheep's clouds shall not grasp.
- 4:35:52Speaker 3: Six Ye hire men, think yea, your sufferers, I show
- 4:36:06Speaker 3: you restless miswandering, misclimbing ones, new and easier footpaths. Nay, nay,
- 4:36:15Speaker 3: three times, nay always more, always better ones of your
- 4:36:20Speaker 3: type shall succome, for you shall always have it worse
- 4:36:24Speaker 3: and harder. Thus only thus only great man aloft to
- 4:36:30Speaker 3: the hide, where the light king striketh, and shattereth him
- 4:36:35Speaker 3: high enough for the lightning towards the few, the long,
- 4:36:42Speaker 3: the remote. Go forth, my soul and my seeking of
- 4:36:46Speaker 3: what account to me? Are you? Are? Many little short misferies.
- 4:36:53Speaker 3: You do not yet suffer enough for me, For your
- 4:36:55Speaker 3: suffer from yourselves. You have not yet rofered from man,
- 4:37:00Speaker 3: and you would lie if you speak otherwise. None of
- 4:37:04Speaker 3: you suffereth from what I have suffered. Seven. It is
- 4:37:10Speaker 3: not enough for me that the lightning no longer do
- 4:37:13Speaker 3: withth harm. I do not wish to conduct it away.
- 4:37:16Speaker 3: It shall learn to work for me. My wisdom had
- 4:37:20Speaker 3: accumulated long like cloud, it becometh stiller and darker. So
- 4:37:26Speaker 3: do it all wisdom. We shall one day bear lightnings.
- 4:37:31Speaker 3: And to these men of today will I not be light,
- 4:37:36Speaker 3: nor be called light? Them? Will I blind lightning of
- 4:37:41Speaker 3: my wisdom put out their eyes? Eight? Do not will
- 4:37:49Speaker 3: anything beyond your power. There is a bad falseness in
- 4:37:54Speaker 3: those who will beyond their power, especially when they will
- 4:37:58Speaker 3: create things for the awake can distress in grace things.
- 4:38:03Speaker 3: These settle false coiners as stage players, until at last
- 4:38:08Speaker 3: they are false towards themselves, squint eyed, whited cankers, glossed
- 4:38:15Speaker 3: over with strong words, porried virtues, and brilliant false deeds.
- 4:38:21Speaker 3: Take good care there, ye, hire men, For nothing is
- 4:38:25Speaker 3: more precious to me and rarer than honesty. Is this
- 4:38:30Speaker 3: to day not that of the populace. The populace, however,
- 4:38:35Speaker 3: knoweth not what is great and what is small? What
- 4:38:38Speaker 3: is straight, and what is honest? It is innocently crooked
- 4:38:43Speaker 3: it ever lieth.
- 4:38:47Speaker 7: Nine.
- 4:38:49Speaker 3: Have a good distress to day, yea hire men. He
- 4:38:54Speaker 3: enheartened ones, ye open hearted ones, and keep your reasons secret,
- 4:39:00Speaker 3: For this today is that of the populace. What the
- 4:39:06Speaker 3: populace once learned to believe without reasons? Who could refute
- 4:39:11Speaker 3: it to them by means of reasons? And on the
- 4:39:14Speaker 3: marketplace one convince it with gestures. But reasons make the
- 4:39:20Speaker 3: populace distrustful. And when truth hath one stremphed there then
- 4:39:26Speaker 3: ask yourselves good distrust, what strong error has fought for
- 4:39:31Speaker 3: it be on your guide also against the learned. They
- 4:39:37Speaker 3: hate you because they are unproductive. They have cold, withered eyes,
- 4:39:43Speaker 3: before which every word is unclumed. Such persons want about
- 4:39:51Speaker 3: not lying, but inability to lie still far from being loved.
- 4:39:55Speaker 3: To truth be on your guide. Freedom from fever is
- 4:40:00Speaker 3: still far from being knowledge. Refrigerated spirits. I do not
- 4:40:06Speaker 3: believe in he who cannot lie, don't know what truth is. Ten.
- 4:40:14Speaker 3: If you would go up high, then use your own legs.
- 4:40:19Speaker 3: Do not get yourselves carried aloft. Do not seed your
- 4:40:23Speaker 3: cells on other people's backs and heads. Thou hast mounted,
- 4:40:28Speaker 3: however on house back, thou thou risest briskly up to
- 4:40:34Speaker 3: thy goal. Well, my friend, but thy lame foot is
- 4:40:40Speaker 3: also with the horseback when thou reachest their goal. When
- 4:40:46Speaker 3: thou alightest from the horse, precisely on thy height, thou
- 4:40:51Speaker 3: higher man than wilt thou stumble. Eleven. Yeah, creating ones,
- 4:41:00Speaker 3: you hire men. One is only pregnant with one's own child.
- 4:41:07Speaker 3: Do not let yourselves be imposed upon or put upon
- 4:41:11Speaker 3: who then is your neighbor. Even if you act for
- 4:41:15Speaker 3: your neighbor, you still do not create for him. And learn.
- 4:41:21Speaker 3: I pray you this, for you're creating ones. Your very
- 4:41:27Speaker 3: virtue wisheth you to have nought to do with, for
- 4:41:32Speaker 3: and on account of and because against these false little words,
- 4:41:40Speaker 3: shall you stop your ears? For one's neighbor is the
- 4:41:48Speaker 3: virtue only of the petty people. There, it is said,
- 4:41:53Speaker 3: like and like and and washeth hand, they have neither
- 4:41:59Speaker 3: the right, not the power for your self seeking. In
- 4:42:05Speaker 3: your self seeking ye creating once. There is the foresight
- 4:42:10Speaker 3: and foreseeing of the pregnant what no one's eye hath
- 4:42:15Speaker 3: yet seen, namely the fruit. This sheltereth and save it,
- 4:42:21Speaker 3: and nourisheth your entire love. Where your entire love is,
- 4:42:27Speaker 3: namely with your child, there is also your entire virtue,
- 4:42:32Speaker 3: your work, your will is your neighbor. Let no false
- 4:42:37Speaker 3: values impose upon you. Twelve we creating once, We hire men.
- 4:42:46Speaker 3: Who ever had to give birth is sick. Whoever hath
- 4:42:51Speaker 3: given birth, however, is unclean? Ask women one given birth
- 4:42:57Speaker 3: not because it giveth pleasure? The pain naketh Hence and
- 4:43:02Speaker 3: poets cackle are creating ones In you. There is much uncleanliness.
- 4:43:09Speaker 3: That is because you have had to be mother's a
- 4:43:14Speaker 3: new child. Oh how much new filth hath also come
- 4:43:18Speaker 3: into the world. Go apart he who hath given birth,
- 4:43:23Speaker 3: shall wash his soul. Thirteen, be not virtuous beyond your powers,
- 4:43:32Speaker 3: and seek nothing from yourselves opposed to probability. Walk in
- 4:43:36Speaker 3: the footsteps in which your father's virtue hath already walked.
- 4:43:41Speaker 3: How would he rise high? If your father's will not
- 4:43:45Speaker 3: rise with you? He, however, who would be a forestling,
- 4:43:52Speaker 3: Let him take care lest he also become a lastling.
- 4:43:56Speaker 3: And where the visest of your father's are the surious
- 4:44:01Speaker 3: not set up as saints. He whose fathers were inclined
- 4:44:07Speaker 3: for women and for strong wine and flesh of wild
- 4:44:11Speaker 3: board's wine. What would it be if she demanded chastity
- 4:44:16Speaker 3: of himself a folly? Would it be much verily? But
- 4:44:23Speaker 3: it seemed to me for such a one. If he
- 4:44:26Speaker 3: should be the husband of one, or two, or of
- 4:44:29Speaker 3: three women, and if he found in monasteries and described
- 4:44:35Speaker 3: over their portals the way to wholeness, I should still say,
- 4:44:41Speaker 3: what good is it? It is a new folly. He
- 4:44:46Speaker 3: had found it for himself a penance house and refuge.
- 4:44:51Speaker 3: How's much good may do? But I do not believe
- 4:44:56Speaker 3: in it. In solitude there groweth what anyone bringeth into it.
- 4:45:02Speaker 3: Also the brute in one's nature. Thus is solitude inadvisable.
- 4:45:08Speaker 3: Unto many, had there ever been anything filiar on earth
- 4:45:15Speaker 3: than the saints of their wilderness? Around them was not
- 4:45:19Speaker 3: only the devil loose, but also the swine fourteen shy, ashamed, awkward,
- 4:45:31Speaker 3: like the tiger whose spring hath failed? Thus a hire men,
- 4:45:37Speaker 3: have I often seen you fling aside a cast which
- 4:45:42Speaker 3: he made had failed? But what doth it matter? He
- 4:45:47Speaker 3: dies plays he had not learned to play and mock
- 4:45:51Speaker 3: as one must play and mock? Do we not ever
- 4:45:54Speaker 3: sit at a great table of mocking and playing? And
- 4:46:00Speaker 3: if great things have been a failure with you, have
- 4:46:03Speaker 3: you yourselves therefore been a failure? And if you yourselves
- 4:46:08Speaker 3: have been a failure, had man therefore been a failure?
- 4:46:13Speaker 3: If man, however, had been a failure all? Then never mind?
- 4:46:20Speaker 3: Fifteen They hire its type always the seldomer. Do things
- 4:46:27Speaker 3: succeed ye? Hire men? Here? Have you not all been failures?
- 4:46:34Speaker 3: Be of good cheer? What doth it matter? How much
- 4:46:38Speaker 3: is still possible learned to laugh at yourselves as you
- 4:46:42Speaker 3: ought to laugh? What wonder even that you have failed
- 4:46:47Speaker 3: and only half succeeded? Yea half shattered? Once doth not
- 4:46:54Speaker 3: man's future. Strive and struggle in you man's furthest profound star,
- 4:47:01Speaker 3: highest issues his prodigious powers. Not all those foam through
- 4:47:08Speaker 3: one another in your vessel? What wonder that many a
- 4:47:13Speaker 3: vessels shattered learned to laugh at yourselves as you ought
- 4:47:17Speaker 3: to laugh the higher men? Oh, how much is still possible?
- 4:47:24Speaker 3: And verily how much had already succeeded. How rich in
- 4:47:29Speaker 3: this earth is small good perfect things, in well constituted
- 4:47:33Speaker 3: things set around you, small good, perfect things. He hire
- 4:47:40Speaker 3: men their golden maturity. Healeth the heart, the perfect teacheth
- 4:47:46Speaker 3: one to hope. Sixteen What hath hithered to been the
- 4:47:52Speaker 3: greatest scene here on earth? Was it not the word
- 4:47:56Speaker 3: of him who said, woo unto them?
- 4:48:00Speaker 4: Laugh?
- 4:48:00Speaker 3: Now did he himself find a cause for laughter on
- 4:48:05Speaker 3: the earth? Then he saw it badly? A child? He
- 4:48:09Speaker 3: will find a cause for it. He did not love sufficiently,
- 4:48:16Speaker 3: Otherwise would he also have loved us, the laughing ones.
- 4:48:21Speaker 3: But he hated and hootless, wailing and teeth gnashing. He
- 4:48:26Speaker 3: promises most one then cursed immediately when one doth not
- 4:48:32Speaker 3: love that seemed to me bad taste. Thus did he, however,
- 4:48:39Speaker 3: this absolute one, he sprang from the populace, and he
- 4:48:46Speaker 3: himself just did not lave sufficiently, Otherwise would he have
- 4:48:51Speaker 3: raised less because people did not love him all great love.
- 4:48:56Speaker 3: Do not seek love it seeketh more. Go out of
- 4:49:02Speaker 3: the way of all such absolute ones. They are a poor,
- 4:49:07Speaker 3: sickly type and a populous type. They look at this
- 4:49:11Speaker 3: life with ill will. They have an evil life with
- 4:49:15Speaker 3: this earth. Go out of the way of all such
- 4:49:19Speaker 3: absolute ones. They have heavy feet and sultry hearts. Did
- 4:49:25Speaker 3: not know how to dance? How could the earth belie
- 4:49:29Speaker 3: to such ones? Seventeen Tortuously do all good things come
- 4:49:37Speaker 3: nigh to the goal? Like cats, they curve their backs,
- 4:49:41Speaker 3: they purl inwardly with their approaching happiness. All good things laugh.
- 4:49:48Speaker 3: His step betrayeth. Whether a person already walketh on his
- 4:49:51Speaker 3: own path, just see me walk. He, however, who cometh
- 4:49:57Speaker 3: nigh to his goal, dances, and verily it's that you
- 4:50:02Speaker 3: have I not become. Not yet do I stand there stiff,
- 4:50:07Speaker 3: stupid and sturdy like a pillar. I love fast racing.
- 4:50:14Speaker 3: And though there be on earth fence and dense afflictions,
- 4:50:19Speaker 3: he who has light feet runneth even across the mud,
- 4:50:22Speaker 3: and dance it as upon well swept eyes. Lift up
- 4:50:28Speaker 3: your hearts, my brethren, high higher, and do not forget
- 4:50:33Speaker 3: your legs. Lift up also your legs, A good dancels,
- 4:50:39Speaker 3: and better still if you stand upon your heads. Eighteen
- 4:50:46Speaker 3: This crown of the laughter, this rose garlant crown, I
- 4:50:51Speaker 3: myself has put on this crown. I myself have concrated
- 4:50:56Speaker 3: my laughter. No one else have I found today put
- 4:51:01Speaker 3: enough for this Zaratushtra the dancer, Latustra, the light one
- 4:51:07Speaker 3: who beckoned with his pinions, one ready for flight, beckoning
- 4:51:13Speaker 3: unto all birds, ready and prepared, a blissfully light spirited one.
- 4:51:20Speaker 3: Latushtra the sooth laugh for no impatient one, no absolute one,
- 4:51:27Speaker 3: when we love its leaves and side leaves, I myself
- 4:51:30Speaker 3: have put on this crown. Nineteen. Lift up your hearts,
- 4:51:38Speaker 3: my brethren, high higher, and do not forget your legs.
- 4:51:44Speaker 3: Lift up your legs. He good dancers, and better still
- 4:51:49Speaker 3: if you stand upon your heads. There are also heavy
- 4:51:54Speaker 3: animals in a state of happiness. There are club footed ones,
- 4:51:59Speaker 3: from the beginning curiously to exist themselves, like an elephant,
- 4:52:07Speaker 3: which endeavorth to stand upon its head. Better however, to
- 4:52:14Speaker 3: be foolish with happiness than foolish with misfortune. Better to
- 4:52:19Speaker 3: dance awkwardly than walk. Maybe, So learn, I pray you,
- 4:52:25Speaker 3: I wisdom, we higher men, even the worst thing had
- 4:52:30Speaker 3: two good reverse sides, if the worst thing had good
- 4:52:36Speaker 3: dancing legs, So learn, I pray you. We hire men
- 4:52:41Speaker 3: to put yourselves on your proper legs. So unlearned, I
- 4:52:47Speaker 3: pray you the sorrow sighting and all the popular sadness. Oh,
- 4:52:54Speaker 3: how sad the buffoons of the populace seem to me
- 4:52:57Speaker 3: to day. This to day, however, is that of the
- 4:53:02Speaker 3: populace twenty do like into the wind when it rusheth
- 4:53:10Speaker 3: forth from its mountain caves and to its own piping,
- 4:53:15Speaker 3: will it dance? The seas tremble and leap under its steps.
- 4:53:22Speaker 3: That which giveth wings to asses, that which milketh the
- 4:53:26Speaker 3: lanis praise to be that good and ruly spirit which
- 4:53:32Speaker 3: cometh like a hurricane unto all the present, and to
- 4:53:37Speaker 3: all the populace, which is hostile to thistleheads and puzzle heads,
- 4:53:44Speaker 3: and to all withered leaves and weeds. Praised to be
- 4:53:48Speaker 3: this wild, good, free spirit of the storm, which danceth
- 4:53:53Speaker 3: upon the fence in afflictions, as upon meadows which hate
- 4:54:00Speaker 3: the consumptive popular stalks and all the ill constituted sullen brood.
- 4:54:06Speaker 3: Praise be the spirit of all free spirits, the laughing storm,
- 4:54:11Speaker 3: which blow a thrust into the eyes of all the
- 4:54:15Speaker 3: melanopique and melancholic. Ye, higher man, the worst thing in
- 4:54:22Speaker 3: you is that you have none of you learned to
- 4:54:25Speaker 3: dance as you ought to dance, to dance beyond yourselves.
- 4:54:30Speaker 3: What doth it matter that you have failed? How many
- 4:54:35Speaker 3: things are still possible? So learned to laugh beyond yourselves.
- 4:54:42Speaker 3: Lift up your hearts. He good dances, Hi higher, and
- 4:54:48Speaker 3: do not forget the good laughter, This crown of the laughter,
- 4:54:55Speaker 3: this rose gallant crown to you, my brother, ghecasts crown laughing.
- 4:55:03Speaker 3: Have I conserrated? Ye? Hire men? Don I pray you
- 4:55:09Speaker 3: to laugh? End of Chapter seventy.
- 4:55:16Speaker 8: Three, Part four, Chapter seventy four, The Song of melancholy One.
- 4:55:25Speaker 8: When Zarathustra spaked these sayings, he stood nigh to the
- 4:55:29Speaker 8: entrance of his cave. With the last words, however, he
- 4:55:32Speaker 8: slipped away from his guests and fled for a little
- 4:55:35Speaker 8: while into the open air. Oh, pure odors around me,
- 4:55:40Speaker 8: cried he, Oh, blessed stillness around me. But where are mine? Animals?
- 4:55:45Speaker 8: Hither hither, mine eagle and my serpent, tell me mine animals.
- 4:55:50Speaker 8: These higher men, all of them, do they perhaps not
- 4:55:54Speaker 8: smell well, oh pure odors around me? Now only do
- 4:55:58Speaker 8: I know and feel how I love you, mine animals.
- 4:56:02Speaker 8: And Zarathustra said once more, I love you mine animals.
- 4:56:07Speaker 8: The eagle, however, and the serpent pressed close to him
- 4:56:10Speaker 8: when he spake these words, and looked up to him.
- 4:56:14Speaker 8: In this attitude. Were they all three silent together, and
- 4:56:18Speaker 8: sniffed and sipped the good air with one another, for
- 4:56:21Speaker 8: the air here outside was better than with the higher men.
- 4:56:27Speaker 8: Two hardly, however, had Zarathustra left the cave, when the
- 4:56:32Speaker 8: old magician got up, looked cunningly about him, and said,
- 4:56:36Speaker 8: he is gone. And already, ye, higher men, let me
- 4:56:40Speaker 8: tickle you with this complimentary and flattering name, as he
- 4:56:44Speaker 8: himself doeth. Already, doth mine evil spirit of deceit and
- 4:56:49Speaker 8: magic attack me, my melancholy devil, which is an adversary
- 4:56:53Speaker 8: to this Zarathustra from the very heart, forgive it for
- 4:56:57Speaker 8: this now doth it wished to conjure before you? It
- 4:57:02Speaker 8: hath just its hour in vain? Do I struggle with
- 4:57:05Speaker 8: this evil spirit unto all of you, whatever honors ye
- 4:57:10Speaker 8: like to assume in your names, whether you call yourselves
- 4:57:13Speaker 8: the free spirits or the conscientious, or the penitence of
- 4:57:17Speaker 8: the Spirit, or the unfettered, or the great longers. Unto
- 4:57:22Speaker 8: all of you, who like me, suffer from the great loathing,
- 4:57:27Speaker 8: to whom the old God hath died, and as yet
- 4:57:31Speaker 8: no new God lieth in cradles and swaddling clothes. Unto
- 4:57:36Speaker 8: all of you is mine evil spirit and magic devil favorable.
- 4:57:41Speaker 8: I know you, ye hire men, I know him. I
- 4:57:45Speaker 8: know also this fiend whom I love in spite of me,
- 4:57:48Speaker 8: this Zarathustra, he himself often seemeth to me like the
- 4:57:54Speaker 8: beautiful mask of a saint, like a new strange mummery
- 4:57:58Speaker 8: in which mine evil spirit, the melancholy devil delighteth. I
- 4:58:03Speaker 8: love Zarathustra. So doth it often seem to me for
- 4:58:07Speaker 8: the sake of mine evil spirit. But already doth it
- 4:58:11Speaker 8: attack me and constrain me, This spirit of melancholy, this
- 4:58:16Speaker 8: evening twilight devil. And verily, ye, higher men, it hath
- 4:58:21Speaker 8: a longing open your eyes, it hath a longing to
- 4:58:25Speaker 8: come naked, whether male or female, I do not yet know,
- 4:58:30Speaker 8: but it cometh. It constraineth me alas open your wits.
- 4:58:36Speaker 8: The day dieth out unto all things cometh now the
- 4:58:40Speaker 8: evening also unto the best things here now. And see ye,
- 4:58:45Speaker 8: higher men, what devil, man or woman this spirit of
- 4:58:50Speaker 8: evening melancholy is? Thus spake the old magician looked cunningly
- 4:58:56Speaker 8: about him, and then seized his harp. Three in evening's
- 4:59:03Speaker 8: limpid air, What time the dew soothing unto the earth
- 4:59:07Speaker 8: downpour invisibly and unheard for tender shoe gear war the
- 4:59:13Speaker 8: soothing dews like all that's kind gentle, bethinkest thou, then,
- 4:59:19Speaker 8: bethinkest thou burning heart, How once thou thirstedest for Heaven's
- 4:59:24Speaker 8: kindly tear drops and dew's down droppings, all singed and
- 4:59:29Speaker 8: weary thirstedest? What time on yellow grass pathways wicked occidental
- 4:59:36Speaker 8: sunny glances through somber trees about thee sported blindingly sunny
- 4:59:41Speaker 8: glow glances, gladly hurting of truth the wooer thou so taunted,
- 4:59:49Speaker 8: They nay merely poet a brute, insidious plundering, groveling that
- 4:59:55Speaker 8: I must lie that wittingly wilfully, I must lie for booty,
- 5:00:01Speaker 8: lusting Motley masked self hidden, shrouded himself his booty. He
- 5:00:09Speaker 8: of truth, the Wooer, Nay mere fool, mere poet, Just
- 5:00:15Speaker 8: Motley speaking from mask of fool, confusedly shouting, circumambling on
- 5:00:21Speaker 8: fabricated word bridges on Motley. Rainbow arches TwixT the spurious
- 5:00:26Speaker 8: heavenly and spurious earthly round us, roving round us, soaring,
- 5:00:33Speaker 8: mere fool mere poet, He of truth, the Wooer not
- 5:00:39Speaker 8: still stiff, smooth and cold, become an image, a godlike
- 5:00:45Speaker 8: statue set up in front of temples as a god's
- 5:00:49Speaker 8: own door guard, nay hostile to all such truthfulness statues
- 5:00:55Speaker 8: in every desert, homelier than at temples, with cattish wantons
- 5:01:00Speaker 8: through every window, leaping quickly into chances. Every wild forest
- 5:01:05Speaker 8: a sniffing, greedily longing, sniffing that thou in wild forests
- 5:01:11Speaker 8: mong the Motley, speckled fierce creatures shouldest rove sinful, sound
- 5:01:16Speaker 8: and fine, colored, with longing lips, smacking, blessedly, mocking, blessedly hellish,
- 5:01:23Speaker 8: blessedly bloodthirsty, robbing, skulking, lying, roving or unto eagles like
- 5:01:32Speaker 8: which fixedly long down the precipice. Look adown there, precipice. Oh,
- 5:01:38Speaker 8: how they whirled down now thereunder therein to ever deeper profoundness,
- 5:01:44Speaker 8: whirling then sudden with aim, aright, with quivering flight on
- 5:01:50Speaker 8: Lambkin's pouncing headlong down, sore, hungry for Lambkin's longing, fierce
- 5:01:58Speaker 8: against all the lamb spirits, furious, fierce, all that look sheeplike,
- 5:02:03Speaker 8: or lamb eyed, or crisp wooly gray, with lamb sheep kindliness,
- 5:02:09Speaker 8: even thus eagle like, panther like are the poet's desires?
- 5:02:14Speaker 8: Are thine own desires neath a thousand guises, Thou fool,
- 5:02:20Speaker 8: Thou poet, Thou who all mankind viewest so God as sheep,
- 5:02:26Speaker 8: the God to rend within mankind as the sheep in mankind,
- 5:02:32Speaker 8: and in rending laughing. That that is thine own blessedness
- 5:02:39Speaker 8: of a panther, an eagle, blessedness of a poet, and fool,
- 5:02:44Speaker 8: the blessedness in evening's limpid air, What time the moon
- 5:02:50Speaker 8: sickle green TwixT the purple glowings, and jealous stealeth forth
- 5:02:56Speaker 8: of day the foe, with every step in secret the
- 5:03:00Speaker 8: rosy garland hammocks down, sickling till they have sunken down
- 5:03:04Speaker 8: night words faded down, sunken. Thus had I sunken one
- 5:03:10Speaker 8: day from mine own truth, insanity from mine own fervid day,
- 5:03:16Speaker 8: longings of day, a weary sick of sunshine, sunk downwards,
- 5:03:23Speaker 8: even words, shadow words by one soul trueness, all scorched
- 5:03:28Speaker 8: and thirsty. Bethinkest thou still bethinkest thou burning heart? How
- 5:03:34Speaker 8: then thou thirstedest that I should band be from all
- 5:03:39Speaker 8: the trueness, mere fool, mere poet end of Part four,
- 5:03:47Speaker 8: Chapter seventy four, Heart four, Chapter seventy five Science. Thus
- 5:04:00Speaker 8: the magician and all who were present went like birds,
- 5:04:04Speaker 8: unawares into the net of his artful and melancholy voluptuousness.
- 5:04:10Speaker 8: Only the spiritually conscientious one had not been caught. He
- 5:04:15Speaker 8: at once snatched the heart from the magician and called out,
- 5:04:19Speaker 8: air let in good air let in Zarathustra, Thou makest
- 5:04:24Speaker 8: this cave, sultry and poisonous, thou bad old magician, Thou
- 5:04:29Speaker 8: seducest thou false one, Thou subtle one to unknown desires
- 5:04:35Speaker 8: and deserts, and alas that such as thou should talk
- 5:04:39Speaker 8: and make ado about the truth. Alas to all free
- 5:04:44Speaker 8: spirits who were not on their guard against such magicians,
- 5:04:48Speaker 8: it is all over with their freedom. Thou teachest and
- 5:04:52Speaker 8: tempest back into prisons, Thou old melancholy devil, out of
- 5:04:57Speaker 8: thy lament soundeth the llurement. Thou resemblest those who, with
- 5:05:02Speaker 8: their praise of chastity, secretly invite to voluptuousness. Thus spake
- 5:05:08Speaker 8: the conscientious one. The old magician, however, looked about him,
- 5:05:13Speaker 8: enjoying his triumph, and on that account put up with
- 5:05:17Speaker 8: the annoyance which the conscientious one caused him be. Still,
- 5:05:22Speaker 8: said he, with modest voice. Good songs want to re echo. Well,
- 5:05:27Speaker 8: after good songs, one should be long silent. Thus do
- 5:05:33Speaker 8: all those present the higher men. Thou, however, hast perhaps understood,
- 5:05:39Speaker 8: but little of my song in thee. There is little
- 5:05:43Speaker 8: of the magic spirit. Thou praisest me, replied the conscientious one,
- 5:05:48Speaker 8: and that thou separatest me from thyself very well. But
- 5:05:54Speaker 8: ye others, what do I see? Ye still sit there
- 5:05:58Speaker 8: all of you with lusting eye, Ye free spirits. Whither
- 5:06:02Speaker 8: hath your freedom gone? Ye almost seem to me to
- 5:06:06Speaker 8: resemble those who have long looked at bad girls dancing naked.
- 5:06:11Speaker 8: Your souls themselves dance in you, ye higher men, there
- 5:06:17Speaker 8: must be more of that which the magician calleth his
- 5:06:20Speaker 8: evil spirit of magic and deceit. We must indeed be different.
- 5:06:26Speaker 8: And verily we spake in thought long enough together ere
- 5:06:31Speaker 8: Zarathustra came home to his cave for me not to
- 5:06:35Speaker 8: be unaware that we are different. We seek different things
- 5:06:40Speaker 8: even here aloft ye, and I, for I seek more security.
- 5:06:46Speaker 8: On that account have I come to Zarathustra, For he
- 5:06:50Speaker 8: is still the most steadfast tower, and will to day
- 5:06:55Speaker 8: when everything totterereth, when all the earth quaketh.
- 5:06:59Speaker 6: Ye.
- 5:06:59Speaker 8: However, when I see what eyes ye make, it almost
- 5:07:03Speaker 8: seemeth to me that ye seek more insecurity, more horror,
- 5:07:08Speaker 8: more danger, more earthquake. Ye long, it almost seemeth so
- 5:07:14Speaker 8: to me. Forgive my presumption, ye hire men. Ye long
- 5:07:18Speaker 8: for the worst and dangerousest life, which frighteneth me most,
- 5:07:23Speaker 8: for the life of wild beasts, for forests, caves, steep mountains,
- 5:07:29Speaker 8: and labyrinthine gorges. And it is not those who lead
- 5:07:33Speaker 8: out of danger that please you best, but those who
- 5:07:36Speaker 8: lead you away from all paths. The misleaders. But if
- 5:07:41Speaker 8: such longing in you be actual, it seemeth to me nevertheless,
- 5:07:46Speaker 8: to be impossible. For fear, that is man's original and
- 5:07:52Speaker 8: fundamental feeling. Through fear, everything is explained, original sin, and
- 5:07:58Speaker 8: original virtue. Through fear there grew also my virtue, that
- 5:08:03Speaker 8: is to say, science, for fear of wild animals that
- 5:08:09Speaker 8: hath been longest fostered than man, inclusive of the animal
- 5:08:13Speaker 8: which he concealeth and feareth in himself. Zarathustra calleth it
- 5:08:18Speaker 8: the beast inside such prolonged ancient fear at last becomes subtle, spiritual,
- 5:08:26Speaker 8: and intellectual. At present methinketh it is called science. Thus
- 5:08:33Speaker 8: spake the conscientious one. But Zarathustra, who had just come
- 5:08:38Speaker 8: back into the cave and had heard and divined this
- 5:08:41Speaker 8: last discourse, threw a handful of roses to the conscientious
- 5:08:45Speaker 8: one and laughed on account of his truths. Why he exclaimed,
- 5:08:52Speaker 8: what did I hear just now? Verily, it seemeth to
- 5:08:55Speaker 8: me thou art a fool, or else I myself am one,
- 5:09:00Speaker 8: and quietly and quickly will I put thy truth upside down?
- 5:09:05Speaker 8: For fear is an exception with us. Courage, However, an
- 5:09:10Speaker 8: adventure and delight, and the uncertain and the unattempted courage
- 5:09:15Speaker 8: seemeth to me the entire primitive history of man. The
- 5:09:20Speaker 8: wildest and most courageous animals hath he envied and robbed
- 5:09:24Speaker 8: of all their virtues. Thus only did he become man.
- 5:09:29Speaker 8: This courage, at last becomes subtle, spiritual, and intellectual. This
- 5:09:35Speaker 8: human courage, with eagle's pinions and serpent's wisdom, this, it
- 5:09:40Speaker 8: seemeth to me, is called at present. Zarathustra cried, all
- 5:09:45Speaker 8: of them there assembled as if with one voice, and
- 5:09:49Speaker 8: burst out at the same time into a great laughter.
- 5:09:53Speaker 8: There arose, however, from them, as it were a heavy cloud.
- 5:09:58Speaker 8: Even the magician laughed and said, wisely, well, it is gone, mine,
- 5:10:03Speaker 8: evil spirit. And did I not myself warn you against
- 5:10:07Speaker 8: it when I said that it was a deceiver, a
- 5:10:10Speaker 8: lying and deceiving spirit, especially when it showeth itself naked?
- 5:10:16Speaker 8: But what can I do with regard to its tricks?
- 5:10:19Speaker 8: Have I created it?
- 5:10:20Speaker 4: And the world?
- 5:10:22Speaker 8: Well, let us be good again and of good cheer.
- 5:10:26Speaker 8: And although Zarathustra looketh with evil eye, just see him
- 5:10:31Speaker 8: he disliketh me. Ere night cometh, will he again learn
- 5:10:35Speaker 8: to love and laud me. He cannot live long without
- 5:10:39Speaker 8: committing such follies. He loveth his enemies this art knoweth
- 5:10:45Speaker 8: he better than anyone I have seen. But he taketh
- 5:10:49Speaker 8: revenge for it on his friends. Thus spake the old magician,
- 5:10:55Speaker 8: and the hireman applauded him, so that Zarathustra went and
- 5:11:01Speaker 8: mischievously and lovingly shook hands with his friends, like one
- 5:11:06Speaker 8: who hath to make amends and apologize to everyone for something. When, however,
- 5:11:12Speaker 8: he had thereby come to the door of his cave. Lo,
- 5:11:16Speaker 8: then had he again a longing for the good air
- 5:11:19Speaker 8: outside and for his animals, and wished to steal out
- 5:11:27Speaker 8: end of Part four, Chapter seventy five, Part four, Chapter
- 5:11:37Speaker 8: seventy six. Among daughters of the desert, one go not away,
- 5:11:46Speaker 8: said then the wanderer who called himself Zarathustra's shadow, abide
- 5:11:50Speaker 8: with us, otherwise the old gloomy affliction might again fall
- 5:11:54Speaker 8: upon us. Now had that old magician given us of
- 5:11:58Speaker 8: his worst for hours, good and Lo, the good pious
- 5:12:03Speaker 8: pope there hath tears in his eyes, and hath quite
- 5:12:06Speaker 8: embarked again upon the sea of melancholy. Those kings may
- 5:12:11Speaker 8: well put on a good air before us still, for
- 5:12:14Speaker 8: that have they learned best of us all at present?
- 5:12:18Speaker 8: Had they, however, known to see them, I wager that
- 5:12:21Speaker 8: with them also the bad game would again commence, the
- 5:12:25Speaker 8: bad game of drifting clouds, of damp melancholy, of curtain taverns,
- 5:12:31Speaker 8: of stolen suns, of howling autumn winds, the bad game
- 5:12:36Speaker 8: of our howling and crying for help. Abide with us,
- 5:12:41Speaker 8: O Zarathustra. Here there is much concealed misery that wisheth
- 5:12:46Speaker 8: to speak, much evening, much cloud, much damp air. Thou
- 5:12:52Speaker 8: hast nourished us with strong food for men and powerful proverbs.
- 5:12:57Speaker 8: Do not let the weakly womanly spirit attack us anew
- 5:13:01Speaker 8: at desert. Thou alone makest the air around THEE strong
- 5:13:05Speaker 8: and clear? Did I ever find anywhere on earth such
- 5:13:09Speaker 8: good air as with THEE in thy cave? Many lands
- 5:13:13Speaker 8: have I seen my nose hath learned to test and
- 5:13:17Speaker 8: estimate many kinds of air. But with THEE do my
- 5:13:20Speaker 8: nostrils taste their greatest delight? Unless it be, unless it be,
- 5:13:26Speaker 8: unless it be, Do forgive an old recollection. Forgive me
- 5:13:31Speaker 8: an old after dinner song, which I once composed amongst
- 5:13:36Speaker 8: daughters of the desert, for with them was their equally good,
- 5:13:41Speaker 8: clear oriental air. There was I furthest from cloudy, damp,
- 5:13:46Speaker 8: melancholy Old Europe. Then did I love such oriental maidens
- 5:13:51Speaker 8: and other blue kingdoms of heaven, over which hang no
- 5:13:55Speaker 8: clouds and no thoughts. Ye would not believe how charmingly
- 5:13:59Speaker 8: they sat there when they did not dance profound but
- 5:14:03Speaker 8: without thoughts, like little secrets, like beribboned riddles like desert nuts,
- 5:14:10Speaker 8: many hued and foreign forsooth, but without clouds, riddles which
- 5:14:15Speaker 8: can be guessed to please such maidens. I then composed
- 5:14:19Speaker 8: an after dinner psalm. Thus spake the wanderer, who called
- 5:14:24Speaker 8: himself Zarathustra's shadow. And before anyone answered him, he had
- 5:14:29Speaker 8: seized the harp of the old magician, crossed his legs,
- 5:14:33Speaker 8: and looked calmly and safely around him. With his nostrils, however,
- 5:14:39Speaker 8: he inhaled the air slowly and questioningly, like one who
- 5:14:44Speaker 8: in new countries tasteth new foreign air. Afterward he began
- 5:14:49Speaker 8: to sing with a kind of roaring. Two, the deserts grow,
- 5:14:56Speaker 8: woe him who doth them hide. HA saw in effect
- 5:15:01Speaker 8: solemnly a worthy beginning. Afric manner solemnly of a lion worthy,
- 5:15:08Speaker 8: or perhaps of a virtuous howl monkey. But it's not
- 5:15:12Speaker 8: to you, ye friendly damsels, dearly loved, at whose own feet,
- 5:15:17Speaker 8: to me the first occasion to a European under palm trees,
- 5:15:22Speaker 8: a seat is now granted, say law, wonderful. Truly, Here
- 5:15:28Speaker 8: do I sit now the desert nigh, and yet I
- 5:15:32Speaker 8: am so far still from the desert even in nought
- 5:15:36Speaker 8: yet deserted. That is, I am swallowed down by this,
- 5:15:41Speaker 8: this smallest oasis. It opened up just yawning its loveliest mouth,
- 5:15:46Speaker 8: a gape most sweet odored of all mouthlets. Then fell
- 5:15:51Speaker 8: I right in, right down, right through in among you,
- 5:15:57Speaker 8: ye friendly damsels dearly love, Say lah, hail hail to
- 5:16:03Speaker 8: that whale fish like, if it thus, for its guest's
- 5:16:07Speaker 8: convenience made things nice. Ye well know, surely my learned illusion,
- 5:16:13Speaker 8: hail to its belly if it had error as such
- 5:16:17Speaker 8: loveliest oasis belly as this is. Though however I doubt
- 5:16:22Speaker 8: about it. With this come I out of old Europe.
- 5:16:26Speaker 8: That doubteth more eagerly than doth any elderly married woman.
- 5:16:30Speaker 8: May the Lord improve it? Amen? Here do I sit
- 5:16:35Speaker 8: now in this the smallest oasis like a date, indeed brown,
- 5:16:41Speaker 8: quite sweet, gold, separating for rounded mouth of maiden longing,
- 5:16:47Speaker 8: but yet still more for youthful made like ice, cold
- 5:16:51Speaker 8: and snow white, and incisory front teeth, and for such
- 5:16:56Speaker 8: assuredly pine the hearts all of ardent date fruit, say
- 5:17:01Speaker 8: law to the there named south fruits, now similar, all
- 5:17:07Speaker 8: too similar? Do I lie here by little flying insects,
- 5:17:12Speaker 8: round sniffled and round played, and also by yet littler
- 5:17:17Speaker 8: foolisher and peccabler wishes and fantasies environed by you, ye
- 5:17:23Speaker 8: silent prescincientist maiden kittens doo doo in suleika round sphinxed
- 5:17:30Speaker 8: that into one word, I may crowd much feeling. Forgive me,
- 5:17:34Speaker 8: o God, all such speech sinning sit. I hear the
- 5:17:39Speaker 8: best of air, sniffling paradisal air, truly bright and buoyant air,
- 5:17:46Speaker 8: golden mottled as goodly air as ever from lunar orb downfell,
- 5:17:52Speaker 8: be it by hazard or supervened it by arrogancy, as
- 5:17:57Speaker 8: the ancient poets relate it. But doubter I am now
- 5:18:02Speaker 8: calling it in question. With this, do I come indeed
- 5:18:05Speaker 8: out of Europe that doubteth more eagerly than doth any
- 5:18:09Speaker 8: elderly married woman. May the Lord improve it? Amen, this
- 5:18:16Speaker 8: the finest air, drinking with nostrils outswelled like goblets, lacking future,
- 5:18:22Speaker 8: lacking remembrances. Thus do I set here, ye, friendly damsels,
- 5:18:28Speaker 8: dearly loved, and look at the palm tree there? How
- 5:18:32Speaker 8: it to a dance girl like doth bow and bend
- 5:18:36Speaker 8: and on its haunches bob one doth it too when
- 5:18:40Speaker 8: one vieweth it long to a dance girl like who,
- 5:18:45Speaker 8: as it seemeth to me, too long and dangerously persistent,
- 5:18:50Speaker 8: always always just one single leg? Hath stood then forgot
- 5:18:56Speaker 8: ye thereby, as it seemeth to me the other leg
- 5:19:00Speaker 8: for vainly, I at least did search for the amissing
- 5:19:04Speaker 8: fellow jewel, namely the other leg in the sanctified precincts
- 5:19:10Speaker 8: nigh her very dearest, very tenderest, flapping and fluttering and flickering,
- 5:19:15Speaker 8: skirting yea if ye should ye beauteous friendly ones? Quite
- 5:19:21Speaker 8: take my word? She hath alas lost it wo wo
- 5:19:26Speaker 8: wo wo who it is away forever away the other leg?
- 5:19:34Speaker 8: O pity for that loveliest other leg? Where may it
- 5:19:38Speaker 8: now tarry all forsaken, weeping, the lonesomest leg in fear,
- 5:19:44Speaker 8: perhaps before a furious yellow blonde and curled leonine monster,
- 5:19:50Speaker 8: or perhaps even gnawed away, nibbled badly, most wretched, woeful, woeful,
- 5:19:56Speaker 8: nibbled badly.
- 5:19:58Speaker 4: Sey la.
- 5:20:00Speaker 8: O weep ye not gentle spirits weep ye not ye
- 5:20:04Speaker 8: date fruit spirits, milk bosoms ye sweetwood heart purselets weep
- 5:20:10Speaker 8: ye no more Palla, do do be a man suli,
- 5:20:14Speaker 8: like a bold bold or else? Should there perhaps be
- 5:20:19Speaker 8: something strengthening heart strengthening here most proper be some inspiring text,
- 5:20:26Speaker 8: some solemn exhortation. Ha up now honor, moral honor, European honor.
- 5:20:34Speaker 8: Blow again, continue Bellow's box of virtue. Ha once more
- 5:20:41Speaker 8: thy roaring, thy, moral roaring as a virtuous lion, nigh
- 5:20:45Speaker 8: the daughters of Desert's roaring for virtues out howl, Ye,
- 5:20:50Speaker 8: very dearest maidens, is more than every European fervor, European
- 5:20:56Speaker 8: hot hunger. And now do I stand here as European?
- 5:21:02Speaker 8: I can't be different? God's helped to me. Ah Men,
- 5:21:08Speaker 8: the deserts grow woe him who dot them hide? End
- 5:21:16Speaker 8: of Part four, Chapter seventy six.
- 5:21:25Speaker 6: Part four, Chapter seventy seven, the Awakening Section one. After
- 5:21:34Speaker 6: the song of the Wanderer and Shadow, the cave became
- 5:21:37Speaker 6: all at once full of noise and laughter. And since
- 5:21:40Speaker 6: the assembled guests all spake simultaneously, and even the ass,
- 5:21:44Speaker 6: encouraged thereby no longer remained silent, a little aversion and
- 5:21:49Speaker 6: scorn for his visitors came over Zarathustra, although he rejoiced
- 5:21:53Speaker 6: at their gladness, for it seemed to him a sign
- 5:21:56Speaker 6: of convalescence. So he slipped out into the open air
- 5:22:00Speaker 6: and spoke to his animals. Whither hath their distress now gone?
- 5:22:04Speaker 6: Said he? And already did he himself feel relieved of
- 5:22:08Speaker 6: his petty disgust with me. It seemeth that they have
- 5:22:12Speaker 6: unlearned their cries of distress, though alas not yet their crying.
- 5:22:18Speaker 6: And Zarathustra stopped his ears, for just then did they
- 5:22:21Speaker 6: ye are of the ass max strangely with the noisy
- 5:22:24Speaker 6: jubilation of those higher men, they are merry, he began again,
- 5:22:28Speaker 6: And who knoweth, perhaps at their host's expense. And if
- 5:22:32Speaker 6: they have learned of me to laugh, still, it is
- 5:22:35Speaker 6: not my laughter they have learned. But what matter about that?
- 5:22:40Speaker 6: They are old people. They recover in their own way.
- 5:22:43Speaker 6: They laugh in their own way. Mine ears have already
- 5:22:46Speaker 6: endured worse, and have not become peevish. This day is
- 5:22:50Speaker 6: a victory. He already yieldeth, he fleeth the spirit of gravity,
- 5:22:56Speaker 6: Mine old arch enemy. How well this stay is about
- 5:22:59Speaker 6: to end, which began so badly and gloomily, And it
- 5:23:03Speaker 6: is about to end. Already cometh the evening over the sea.
- 5:23:08Speaker 6: Rideth it hither the good rider, How it bobbeth the
- 5:23:12Speaker 6: blessed one, the home returning one, and its purple saddles
- 5:23:18Speaker 6: the sky gazeth brightly thereon the world lieth deep. Oh,
- 5:23:23Speaker 6: all ye strange ones who have come to me, It
- 5:23:25Speaker 6: is already worth while to have lived with me. Thus
- 5:23:29Speaker 6: spake Zarathustra. And again came the cries and laughter of
- 5:23:33Speaker 6: the higher men out of the cave. Then began he anew.
- 5:23:38Speaker 6: They bite at it. My bait taketh. There departeth also
- 5:23:42Speaker 6: from them their enemy, the spirit of gravity. Now do
- 5:23:46Speaker 6: they learn to laugh at themselves? Do I hear rightly?
- 5:23:51Speaker 6: My virile food taketh effect my strong and savory sayings.
- 5:23:55Speaker 6: And verily I did not nourish them with flatulent vegetables.
- 5:23:59Speaker 6: But with worrier food, with conqueror food. New desires did
- 5:24:04Speaker 6: I awaken. New hopes are in their arms and legs.
- 5:24:07Speaker 6: Their hearts expand, they find new words. Soon will their
- 5:24:11Speaker 6: spirits breathe wantonness. Such food may sure enough not be
- 5:24:16Speaker 6: proper for children, nor even for longing girls old and young.
- 5:24:21Speaker 6: One persuadeth their bowels. Otherwise I am not their physician
- 5:24:25Speaker 6: and teacher. The disgust departeth from these higher men. Well,
- 5:24:30Speaker 6: that is my victory and my domain. They become assured.
- 5:24:34Speaker 6: All stupid shame fleeth away. They empty themselves, They empty
- 5:24:38Speaker 6: their hearts. Good times return unto them. They keep holiday
- 5:24:42Speaker 6: and ruminate. They become thankful. That do I take us
- 5:24:47Speaker 6: the best sign? They become thankful. Not long will it
- 5:24:52Speaker 6: be ere. They devise festivals and put up memorials to
- 5:24:55Speaker 6: their old joys. They are convalescents. Thus spoke Zarathustra joyfully
- 5:25:01Speaker 6: to his heart and gazed outward. His animals, however, pressed
- 5:25:06Speaker 6: up to him and honored his happiness and his silence.
- 5:25:11Speaker 6: Section two. All on a sudden, however, Zarathustra's air was
- 5:25:17Speaker 6: frightened for the cave which had hitherto been full of
- 5:25:20Speaker 6: noise and laughter, became all at once still as death.
- 5:25:25Speaker 6: His nose, however, smelt a sweet scented vapor and incense odor,
- 5:25:29Speaker 6: as if from burning pine cones. What happeneth? What are
- 5:25:33Speaker 6: they about? He asked himself, and stole up to the entrance,
- 5:25:37Speaker 6: that he might be able, unobserved, to see his guests.
- 5:25:41Speaker 6: But wonder upon wonder what was he then obliged to
- 5:25:44Speaker 6: behold with his own eyes. They have, all of them
- 5:25:48Speaker 6: become pious again. They pray, they are mad, said he,
- 5:25:51Speaker 6: and was astonished beyond measure, and forsoth all these high men,
- 5:25:56Speaker 6: the two kings, the Pope out of service, the evil magician,
- 5:25:59Speaker 6: the volie luntary beggar, the wanderer in shadow, the old soothsayer,
- 5:26:04Speaker 6: the spiritually conscientious one, and the ugliest man. They all
- 5:26:08Speaker 6: lay on their knees like children and credulous old women,
- 5:26:12Speaker 6: and worshiped the ass. And just then began the ugliest
- 5:26:16Speaker 6: man to gurgle and snort, as if something unutterable in
- 5:26:20Speaker 6: him tried to find expression, when however, he had actually
- 5:26:23Speaker 6: found words. Behold, it was a pious, strange litany in
- 5:26:27Speaker 6: praise of the adored and sensed ass and their litany sounded.
- 5:26:32Speaker 6: Thus are men and glory and honor and wisdom, and
- 5:26:37Speaker 6: thanks and praise and strength be to our God, from
- 5:26:40Speaker 6: everlasting to everlasting. The ass, however, hair braid ye are
- 5:26:47Speaker 6: he carrieth our burdens. He hath taken upon him the
- 5:26:50Speaker 6: form of a servant. He is patient of heart and
- 5:26:53Speaker 6: never saith nay. And he who loveth his God chastiseth him.
- 5:26:58Speaker 6: The ass, however, hair braid ye are He speaketh not
- 5:27:03Speaker 6: except that he ever saith yea to the world which
- 5:27:06Speaker 6: he created. Thus doth he extol his world. It is
- 5:27:10Speaker 6: his artfulness that speaketh not. Thus is he rarely found wrong.
- 5:27:15Speaker 6: The ass, however, hair braid ye are uncomely goeth he
- 5:27:20Speaker 6: through the world. Gray is the favorite color in which
- 5:27:22Speaker 6: he wrappeth his virtue. Hath he spirit? Then doth he
- 5:27:27Speaker 6: conceal it? Every one, however, believeth in his long ears.
- 5:27:31Speaker 6: The ass, however, hair breath ye are what hidden wisdom
- 5:27:37Speaker 6: it is to wear long ears and only to say
- 5:27:40Speaker 6: yea and never nay. Hath he not created the world
- 5:27:44Speaker 6: in his own image, namely as stupid as possible. The ass, however,
- 5:27:49Speaker 6: hair braid ye are thou goest straight and crooked ways.
- 5:27:55Speaker 6: It concerneth the little what seemeth straight or crooked unto
- 5:27:58Speaker 6: us men. Beyond good and evil is thy domain. It
- 5:28:02Speaker 6: is thine innocence not to know what innocence is the ass. However,
- 5:28:07Speaker 6: hair braid ye are lo how thou spurnest none from thee,
- 5:28:13Speaker 6: neither beggars nor kings. Thou'll sufferest little children to come
- 5:28:17Speaker 6: unto thee. And when the bad boys decoy thee, then
- 5:28:21Speaker 6: say ask thou simply, ye are the ass. However, hair
- 5:28:25Speaker 6: braid ye are thou lovest she asses and fresh figs.
- 5:28:31Speaker 6: Thou art no food despiser a this articleth thy heart.
- 5:28:35Speaker 6: When thou chancest to be hungry, there is the wisdom
- 5:28:38Speaker 6: of a god therein the ass. However, hair braid ye
- 5:28:44Speaker 6: are end of Part four, Chapter seventy seven.
- 5:28:52Speaker 7: Part four, Chapter seventy eight the ass first of all
- 5:28:58Speaker 7: one at this place in a litany, However, Zarathustra could
- 5:29:04Speaker 7: no longer control himself. He himself cried out, yeah, louder
- 5:29:11Speaker 7: even than the ass, and sprang into the midst of
- 5:29:15Speaker 7: his madden guests. Whatever are you about, you grown up children?
- 5:29:20Speaker 7: He exclaimed, pulling up the praying ones from the ground.
- 5:29:25Speaker 7: Alas if any one else except Zarathustra had seen you,
- 5:29:30Speaker 7: every one would think you the worst blasphemers or the
- 5:29:34Speaker 7: very foolishest old women.
- 5:29:37Speaker 3: With your new belief.
- 5:29:39Speaker 7: And thou thyself, thou, old pope, how is it in
- 5:29:44Speaker 7: accordance with thee to adore an ass in such a
- 5:29:48Speaker 7: manner as God? Oh, Zarathustra answered the pope. Forgive me,
- 5:29:55Speaker 7: but in divine matters I am more enlightened even than thou.
- 5:30:00Speaker 7: And it is right that it should be so better
- 5:30:03Speaker 7: to adore God so in this form than in no
- 5:30:07Speaker 7: form at all. Think over this saying, mine, exalted friend,
- 5:30:14Speaker 7: Thou wilt readily divine that in such a saying there
- 5:30:18Speaker 7: is wisdom. He who said God is a spirit made
- 5:30:23Speaker 7: the greatest stride and slide hitherto maid on earth towards unbelief.
- 5:30:29Speaker 7: Such a dictum is not easily amended again on earth. Mine,
- 5:30:34Speaker 7: old heart leapeth and boundeth, because there is still something
- 5:30:38Speaker 7: to adore on earth. Forgive it, o, Zarathustra to an old,
- 5:30:44Speaker 7: pious pontiff heart. And thou, said, Zarathustra, to the wanderer
- 5:30:50Speaker 7: and shadow, thou callest and thinkest thyself a free spirit,
- 5:30:56Speaker 7: and thou here practicest such I do, and hierolatry. Worse
- 5:31:03Speaker 7: verily doest thou here than with thy bad brown girls,
- 5:31:08Speaker 7: Thou bad new believer. It is sad enough, answered the
- 5:31:13Speaker 7: wanderer and shadow. Thou art right, But how can I
- 5:31:17Speaker 7: help it? The old God liveth again, o Zarathustra, Thou
- 5:31:23Speaker 7: mayest say what thou wilt. The ugliest man is to
- 5:31:27Speaker 7: blame for it. All he hath re awakened him, And
- 5:31:31Speaker 7: if he say that he once killed him with God's death,
- 5:31:35Speaker 7: is always just a prejudice. And thou said Zarathustra, thou bad,
- 5:31:42Speaker 7: old magician, What didst thou do? Who ought to believe
- 5:31:47Speaker 7: any longer in thee, in this free age, when thou
- 5:31:51Speaker 7: believest in such divine donkeyism? It was a stupid thing
- 5:31:56Speaker 7: that thou didst How couldst thou, a shrewd man, do
- 5:32:01Speaker 7: such a stupid thing? Oh, Zarathustra, answered the shrewd magician,
- 5:32:08Speaker 7: Thou art right. It was a stupid thing. It was
- 5:32:12Speaker 7: also repugnant to me. And thou even, said Zarathustra to
- 5:32:17Speaker 7: the spiritually conscientious one, consider and put thy finger to
- 5:32:22Speaker 7: thy nose, doth nothing go against thy conscience. Here is
- 5:32:27Speaker 7: thy spirit not too cleanly for this praying and the
- 5:32:31Speaker 7: fumes of those devotees. There is something therein, said the
- 5:32:36Speaker 7: spiritually conscientious one, and put his finger to his nose.
- 5:32:41Speaker 7: There is something in this spectacle which even doeth good
- 5:32:45Speaker 7: to my conscience. Perhaps I dare not believe in God.
- 5:32:50Speaker 7: Certain it is, however, that God seemeth to me most
- 5:32:54Speaker 7: worthy of belief. In this form, God is said to
- 5:32:57Speaker 7: be eternal. According to the testimony of the most pious,
- 5:33:02Speaker 7: he who hath so much time taketh his time as
- 5:33:07Speaker 7: slow and as stupid as possible. Thereby can such a
- 5:33:12Speaker 7: one nevertheless go very far? And he who hath too
- 5:33:16Speaker 7: much spirit might well become infatuated with stupidity and folly.
- 5:33:22Speaker 7: Think of thyself, O Zarathustra, thou thyself, verily, even thou
- 5:33:29Speaker 7: couldst well become an ass through superabundance of wisdom. Doth
- 5:33:35Speaker 7: not the true sage willingly walk on the crookedest paths.
- 5:33:40Speaker 7: The evidence teacheth it, O Zarathustra, thine own evidence, and
- 5:33:47Speaker 7: thou thyself, Finally, said Zarathustra, and turned towards the uglious man.
- 5:33:52Speaker 7: Who still lay on the ground, stretching up his arms
- 5:33:55Speaker 7: to the ass, for he gave it wine to drink,
- 5:34:00Speaker 7: Say thou, nondescript, What hast thou been about? Thou seemest
- 5:34:05Speaker 7: to be transformed? Thine eyes glow the mantle of the
- 5:34:09Speaker 7: sublime covereth thine ugliness. What didst thou do? Is it
- 5:34:14Speaker 7: then true? What they say that thou hast again awakened him?
- 5:34:18Speaker 7: And why was he not for good reasons killed and
- 5:34:22Speaker 7: made away? With Thou thyself seemest to me awakened. What
- 5:34:27Speaker 7: didst thou do? Why didst thou turn round? Why didst
- 5:34:32Speaker 7: thou get converted? Speak thou nondescript, O Zarathustra answered, the
- 5:34:40Speaker 7: ugliest man, thou art a rogue, whether he yet liveth
- 5:34:45Speaker 7: or again liveth or is thoroughly dead? Which of us
- 5:34:49Speaker 7: both knoweth that best? I ask thee one thing? However,
- 5:34:54Speaker 7: do I know from thyself? Did I learn at once?
- 5:34:58Speaker 7: O Zarathustra, he who wanteth to kill most thoroughly laugheth
- 5:35:05Speaker 7: not by wrath, but by laughter? Doth one kill?
- 5:35:09Speaker 3: Thus?
- 5:35:10Speaker 7: Spakest thou once, O Zarathustra, Thou hidden one, thou destroyer
- 5:35:16Speaker 7: without wrath? Thou dangerous saint, thou utter rogue.
- 5:35:23Speaker 5: Two.
- 5:35:25Speaker 7: Then, however did it come to pass that Zarathustra, astonished
- 5:35:29Speaker 7: at such merely roguish answers, jumped back to the door
- 5:35:34Speaker 7: of his cave, and, turning towards all his guests, cried
- 5:35:38Speaker 7: out with a strong voice, Oh, ye wags, all of you,
- 5:35:44Speaker 7: ye buffoons, why do you dissemble and disguise yourself before me?
- 5:35:50Speaker 7: Now the hearts of all of you convulsed with delight
- 5:35:54Speaker 7: and wickedness, because ye had at last become again like
- 5:35:59Speaker 7: little children, namely pious, because ye at last did again
- 5:36:05Speaker 7: as children do, namely prayed, folded your hands and said,
- 5:36:11Speaker 7: good God. But now leave, I pray you this nursery,
- 5:36:16Speaker 7: mine own cave, where to day all childishness is carried
- 5:36:21Speaker 7: on cool down here outside your hot child wantonness and
- 5:36:27Speaker 7: heart tumult. To be sure, except ye become as little children,
- 5:36:33Speaker 7: ye shall not enter into that kingdom of heaven. And
- 5:36:37Speaker 7: Zarathustra pointed aloft with his hands. But we do not
- 5:36:42Speaker 7: at all want to enter into the kingdom of heaven.
- 5:36:46Speaker 7: We have become men, so we want the kingdom of Earth. Three.
- 5:36:54Speaker 7: And once more began Zarathustra to speak o. My new
- 5:36:59Speaker 7: friend said he Ye strange ones, Ye higher men, how
- 5:37:05Speaker 7: well do ye now please me? Since yere again become joyful,
- 5:37:10Speaker 7: ye have verily all blossomed. Forth, it seemeth to me
- 5:37:15Speaker 7: that for such flowers as you, new festivals are required,
- 5:37:21Speaker 7: a little valiant nonsense, some divine service and ass festival,
- 5:37:27Speaker 7: some old joyful Zarathustra fool, some blusterer, to blow your
- 5:37:33Speaker 7: souls bright. Forget not this knight and this ass festival,
- 5:37:38Speaker 7: Ye higher men, that that ye devise, when with me
- 5:37:43Speaker 7: that do I take as a good omen such things
- 5:37:47Speaker 7: only the convalescence devise? And should ye celebrate it again,
- 5:37:52Speaker 7: this ass festival? Do it from love to yourselves? Do
- 5:37:57Speaker 7: it also from love to me, and in remembrance of me.
- 5:38:03Speaker 7: Thus spake Zarathustra. End of Part four, Chapter seventy.
- 5:38:09Speaker 5: Eight, Part four, Chapter seventy nine. The drunken song one meanwhile,
- 5:38:22Speaker 5: one after another, had gone out into the open air
- 5:38:26Speaker 5: and into the cool, thoughtful night. Zarathustra himself, however, led
- 5:38:32Speaker 5: the ugliest man by the hand that he made show
- 5:38:36Speaker 5: him his night world and the great round moon, and
- 5:38:40Speaker 5: the silvery waterfalls near his cave. There they at last
- 5:38:45Speaker 5: stood still, beside one another, all of them old people,
- 5:38:50Speaker 5: but comforted brave hearts, and astonished in themselves that it
- 5:38:55Speaker 5: was so well with them on earth. The mystery of
- 5:38:59Speaker 5: the night, however, came nigher and nigh to their hearts,
- 5:39:03Speaker 5: and a new Zarathustra thought to himself, oh, how well
- 5:39:08Speaker 5: do they now please me, these higher men? But he
- 5:39:12Speaker 5: did not say it aloud, for he respected their happiness
- 5:39:16Speaker 5: and their silence. Then, however, there happened that which in
- 5:39:20Speaker 5: this astonishingly long day was most astonishing. The ugliest man
- 5:39:25Speaker 5: began once more, and for the last time, to gurgle
- 5:39:28Speaker 5: and snort, And when he had at length found expression, behold,
- 5:39:34Speaker 5: there sprung a question, plump and plain, out of his mouth,
- 5:39:38Speaker 5: a good, deep, clear question, which moved the hearts of
- 5:39:42Speaker 5: all who listened to him. My friends, all of you,
- 5:39:47Speaker 5: said the ugliest man, what think ye? For the sake
- 5:39:50Speaker 5: of this day? I am for the first time content
- 5:39:54Speaker 5: to have lived my entire life, And that I testify
- 5:39:58Speaker 5: so much is still not enough for me. It is
- 5:40:00Speaker 5: worth while living on earth. One day, one festival with Zarathustra.
- 5:40:06Speaker 5: Hath taught me to love the earth. Was that life
- 5:40:12Speaker 5: will I say unto death? Well, once more, my friends,
- 5:40:19Speaker 5: what think ye, will ye not like me say unto death?
- 5:40:24Speaker 5: Was that life for the sake of Zarathustra? Well, once more,
- 5:40:33Speaker 5: thus spake the ugliest man. It was not, however, far
- 5:40:37Speaker 5: from midnight. And what took place? Then, think ye? As
- 5:40:41Speaker 5: soon as the higher men heard this question, they became
- 5:40:44Speaker 5: all at once conscious of their transformation and convalescence, and
- 5:40:49Speaker 5: of him who was the cause thereof. Then did they
- 5:40:53Speaker 5: rush up to Zarathustra, thanking, honoring, caressing him, kissing his hands,
- 5:40:59Speaker 5: each in his own peculiar way. So the sun laughed
- 5:41:02Speaker 5: and some wept. The old soothsayer, however, danced with delight.
- 5:41:08Speaker 5: And though he was then, as some narrator suppose, full
- 5:41:12Speaker 5: of sweet wine, he was certainly still fuller of sweet life,
- 5:41:17Speaker 5: and had renounced to all weariness. There are then, even
- 5:41:21Speaker 5: those who narrate that the ass then danced, for not
- 5:41:25Speaker 5: in vain had the ugliest man previously given it wine
- 5:41:28Speaker 5: to drink. That may be the case, or it may
- 5:41:32Speaker 5: be otherwise. And if in truth the ass did not
- 5:41:35Speaker 5: dance that evening there nevertheless happened, then greater and rarer
- 5:41:40Speaker 5: wonders than the dancing of an ass would have been
- 5:41:44Speaker 5: in short as a proverb of Zarathustra saith, what doth
- 5:41:48Speaker 5: it matter?
- 5:41:51Speaker 6: Two?
- 5:41:53Speaker 5: When, however, this took place with the ugliest man, Zarathustra
- 5:41:57Speaker 5: stood there like one drunken, his glance dulled, his tongue faltered,
- 5:42:02Speaker 5: and his feet staggered. And who could divine what thoughts
- 5:42:06Speaker 5: then passed through Zarathustra's soul. Apparently, however, his spirit retreated
- 5:42:13Speaker 5: and fled in advance, and was in remote distances, and,
- 5:42:17Speaker 5: as it were, wandered on high mountain ridges, as it
- 5:42:21Speaker 5: standeth written TwixT two seas, wandering TwixT the past and
- 5:42:26Speaker 5: the future as a heavy cloud. Gradually, however, while the
- 5:42:30Speaker 5: higher men held him in their arms, he came back
- 5:42:33Speaker 5: to himself a little and resisted with his hands the
- 5:42:36Speaker 5: crowd of the honoring and caring ones. But he did
- 5:42:40Speaker 5: not speak all at once. However, he turned his head quickly,
- 5:42:45Speaker 5: for he seemed to hear something. Then he laid his
- 5:42:48Speaker 5: finger on his mouth and said, come. And immediately it
- 5:42:53Speaker 5: became still and mysterious round about from the death. However,
- 5:42:57Speaker 5: they came up slowly the sound of a clock bell.
- 5:43:02Speaker 5: Zarathustra listened there too, like the higher men. Then, however,
- 5:43:07Speaker 5: he laid his finger on his mouth for the second time,
- 5:43:09Speaker 5: and said again, come, come, it is getting on to midnight.
- 5:43:16Speaker 5: And his voice had changed, but still he had not
- 5:43:19Speaker 5: moved from the spot. Then it became yet stiller and
- 5:43:23Speaker 5: more mysterious, and everything hearkened, even the ass and Zarathustra's
- 5:43:28Speaker 5: noble animals, the eagle and the serpent. Likewise, the cave
- 5:43:33Speaker 5: of Zarathustra, and the big cool moon, and the night itself. Zarathustra, however,
- 5:43:40Speaker 5: laid his hand upon his mouth for a third time
- 5:43:42Speaker 5: and said, come, come, come, now, let us wander. It
- 5:43:50Speaker 5: is the hour, Let us wander into the night. Three ye,
- 5:43:57Speaker 5: hire men, it is getting on to midnight. Then will
- 5:44:02Speaker 5: I say something into your ears as the old clockbell
- 5:44:06Speaker 5: Saith it into mine ear, as mysteriously, as frightfully, and
- 5:44:12Speaker 5: as cordially as the midnight clockbell. Speaketh it to me
- 5:44:18Speaker 5: which hath experienced more than one man, which hath already counted,
- 5:44:23Speaker 5: the smarting throbbings of your father's hearts. Ah ah, how
- 5:44:29Speaker 5: it sareth, how it laugheth in its dream, the old, deep,
- 5:44:34Speaker 5: deep midnight Hush, Hush. Then is there many a thing
- 5:44:41Speaker 5: heard which may not be heard by day. Now, however,
- 5:44:46Speaker 5: in the cool air, even in all the tumult of
- 5:44:49Speaker 5: your hearts, hath become still?
- 5:44:52Speaker 6: Now?
- 5:44:52Speaker 5: Doth it speak now? Is it heard?
- 5:44:56Speaker 7: Now?
- 5:44:57Speaker 5: Doth it still into overweightful nocturnal sear ah ah? How
- 5:45:03Speaker 5: the midnight saith, how it laugheth in its dream? Hearest
- 5:45:08Speaker 5: thou not, how it mysteriously, frightfully and cordially speaketh unto
- 5:45:13Speaker 5: thee the old, deep, deep midnight, O man, take heed,
- 5:45:25Speaker 5: for woe to me? Whither has time gone? Have I
- 5:45:31Speaker 5: not drunk into deep wells? The world sleepeth?
- 5:45:35Speaker 4: Ah ah?
- 5:45:37Speaker 5: The dog howeth the moon shineth? Rather will I die?
- 5:45:43Speaker 5: Rather will I die? Than say unto you what my
- 5:45:46Speaker 5: midnight heart now thinketh already? Have I died? It is
- 5:45:52Speaker 5: over spider, Why spinnest thou around me? Wilt thou have blood?
- 5:45:59Speaker 5: Ah ah? The jew falleth. The hour cometh, the hour
- 5:46:05Speaker 5: in which I froze and freeze, which asketh and asketh,
- 5:46:10Speaker 5: and asketh who hath sufficient courage for it? Who is
- 5:46:15Speaker 5: to be the master of the world? Who is going
- 5:46:18Speaker 5: to say? Thus shall ye flow ye great and small streams?
- 5:46:25Speaker 5: The hour approacheth o man, thou high men, take heed
- 5:46:31Speaker 5: This talk is for fine ears, for thine ears. What
- 5:46:36Speaker 5: saith deep midnight's voice? Indeed? Five, it carried me away
- 5:46:48Speaker 5: my soul danceth day's work, day's work? Who is to
- 5:46:52Speaker 5: be the master of the world? The moon is cool,
- 5:46:56Speaker 5: the wind is still.
- 5:46:57Speaker 4: Ah Ah.
- 5:46:59Speaker 5: Have ye your already flown high enough? Ye have danced
- 5:47:03Speaker 5: a leg? Nevertheless?
- 5:47:05Speaker 6: Is not a wing?
- 5:47:06Speaker 5: Ye good dancers? Now is all delight over? Whine? Hath
- 5:47:11Speaker 5: become lee's? Every cup hath become brittle the sepulcher's mutter,
- 5:47:17Speaker 5: Ye have not flown high enough? Now do the sepulcher's
- 5:47:20Speaker 5: mutter free the dead? Why is it so long? Night?
- 5:47:25Speaker 5: Doth not the moon make us drunken? Ye? Hire men
- 5:47:29Speaker 5: free the sepulchers awaken the corpses?
- 5:47:32Speaker 4: Ah?
- 5:47:33Speaker 5: Why doth the worm still burrow? There? Approacheth there, approacheth
- 5:47:38Speaker 5: the hour There boometh a clock bell there thrilleth still
- 5:47:42Speaker 5: the heart there burroweth still the woodworm, the heart worm?
- 5:47:47Speaker 4: Ah Ah.
- 5:47:49Speaker 5: The world is deep. Six, sweet liar, sweet liar, I
- 5:47:58Speaker 5: love thy tone a drunken run un salign tone. How long?
- 5:48:05Speaker 5: How far hath come unto me? Thy tone? From the
- 5:48:08Speaker 5: distance from the ponds of love? Thou old clock bell,
- 5:48:14Speaker 5: thou sweet liar. Every pain hath torn thy heart, father pain,
- 5:48:20Speaker 5: father's pain, forefather's pain, thy speech hath become ripe, ripe
- 5:48:26Speaker 5: lay the golden autumn and the afternoon like mine anchorite heart.
- 5:48:33Speaker 5: Thou sayst, thou the world itself hath become ripe, the
- 5:48:38Speaker 5: grape turned brown. Now doth it wish to die? To
- 5:48:42Speaker 5: die of happiness? Ye, hire men, do you not feel it?
- 5:48:48Speaker 5: Thore well? Hath have mysteriously an odor, a perfume, and
- 5:48:52Speaker 5: odor of eternity, a rose blest brown, gold wine, odor
- 5:48:57Speaker 5: of old happiness, of drunken midnight death, happiness which singeth
- 5:49:04Speaker 5: the world is deep and deeper than the day could
- 5:49:09Speaker 5: read seven. Leave me alone, Leave me alone. I am
- 5:49:18Speaker 5: too pure for thee touch me. Not hath not my
- 5:49:23Speaker 5: world just now become perfect. My skin is too pure
- 5:49:28Speaker 5: for thy hands. Leave me alone. Thou dull, doltish, stupid
- 5:49:32Speaker 5: day is not the midnight brighter, Thy purest are to
- 5:49:38Speaker 5: be the masters of the world, the least known, the strongest,
- 5:49:43Speaker 5: the midnight souls, who is brighter and deeper than any day.
- 5:49:49Speaker 5: O day, Thou gropest for me, thou feelest for my
- 5:49:53Speaker 5: happiness for THEE. I am rich, lonesome, a treasure pit,
- 5:49:59Speaker 5: a gold chain, a world. Thou wantest me Am I
- 5:50:05Speaker 5: worldly for thee, Am I spiritual for thee, Am I
- 5:50:10Speaker 5: divine for thee. But day and world, Ye, you too, coarse,
- 5:50:16Speaker 5: have cleverer hands. Grasped after deeper happiness, after deeper unhappiness,
- 5:50:23Speaker 5: grasp after some God grasp, not after me mine unhappiness.
- 5:50:30Speaker 5: My happiness is deep thou strange day. But yet I
- 5:50:35Speaker 5: am no God. No God's hell deep is its woe.
- 5:50:43Speaker 5: Eight God's woe is deeper thou strange world. Grasp at
- 5:50:50Speaker 5: God's woe, not at me. What am I a drunken
- 5:50:54Speaker 5: sweet liar, a midnight liar, a bell frog which no
- 5:50:58Speaker 5: one understandeth, but which must speak before deaf ones, Ye,
- 5:51:02Speaker 5: hire men, for ye do not understand me. Gone, gone,
- 5:51:08Speaker 5: o youth, Oh noontide, oh afternoon, Now have come evening,
- 5:51:13Speaker 5: a night and midnight. The dog cowleeth. The wind is
- 5:51:17Speaker 5: the wind, not a dog. It whineth, it barketh, it
- 5:51:22Speaker 5: howeth ah ah, how she sieth, how she laugheth, how
- 5:51:27Speaker 5: she weezeth and panteth the midnight, how she just now
- 5:51:31Speaker 5: speaketh soberly, this drunken poetess. Hath she not perhaps over
- 5:51:36Speaker 5: drunk her drunkenness? Hath she not become over awake? Doth
- 5:51:41Speaker 5: she ruminate her woe? Doth she ruminate over in a
- 5:51:45Speaker 5: dream the old deep midnight, and still more her joy
- 5:51:50Speaker 5: for joy, Although woe be deep, joy is deeper still
- 5:51:56Speaker 5: than grief can be. Nine, thou, grapevine, Why dost thou
- 5:52:03Speaker 5: praise me? Have I not cut thee? I am cruel?
- 5:52:08Speaker 5: Thou bleedest? What meaneth thy praise of my drunken cruelty?
- 5:52:14Speaker 5: Whatever hath become perfect? Everything mature wanteth to die, So
- 5:52:19Speaker 5: sayest thou blessed. Blessed be the vinter's knife. But everything
- 5:52:24Speaker 5: immature wanteth to live, alas woe saith. Hence go away
- 5:52:31Speaker 5: thou woe. But everything that suffereth wanteth to live. That
- 5:52:36Speaker 5: it must become mature and lively and longing, longing for
- 5:52:40Speaker 5: the further, the higher, the brighter. I want airs, so saith,
- 5:52:46Speaker 5: everything that suffereth. I want children. I do not want myself. Joy, however,
- 5:52:54Speaker 5: doth not want heirs. It doth not want children. Joy
- 5:52:59Speaker 5: wanteth itself. It wanteth eternity. It wanteth re occurrence. It
- 5:53:05Speaker 5: wanteth everything eternally like itself. Woe saith break bleed thou
- 5:53:12Speaker 5: heart wonder thou leg thy wing, fly onward upward thou pain, well,
- 5:53:20Speaker 5: cheer up o my old heart. Woe saith hence go
- 5:53:29Speaker 5: ten ye hire men, we think ye am I a
- 5:53:34Speaker 5: soothsier or a dreamer, or a drunkard, or a dream reader,
- 5:53:42Speaker 5: or a midnight bell, or a drop of dew or
- 5:53:47Speaker 5: a human fragrance of eternity. Here ye it not smell,
- 5:53:54Speaker 5: ye it not? Just now? Hath my world become perfect?
- 5:54:00Speaker 5: Midnight is also mid day. Pain is also a joy.
- 5:54:06Speaker 5: Curse is also a blessing. Knight is also a sun
- 5:54:11Speaker 5: go away. Or ye will learn that a sage is
- 5:54:15Speaker 5: also a fool, said ye ever, yea to one joy,
- 5:54:21Speaker 5: Oh my friends, then say ye yea also to all woe.
- 5:54:26Speaker 5: All things are in linked enlaced and unarmored. Once, ye
- 5:54:33Speaker 5: ever once to come twice, said ye ever, Thou pleasest
- 5:54:38Speaker 5: me happiness instant moment, then wanted all ye all to
- 5:54:44Speaker 5: come back again, all anew all eternal, all in linked
- 5:54:50Speaker 5: enlaced and unarmored. Oh then did ye love the world,
- 5:54:57Speaker 5: ye eternal ones, ye loved it eternally and for all time,
- 5:55:02Speaker 5: and also under woe, did ye say, hence go, but
- 5:55:07Speaker 5: come back? For all joys want eternity eleven All joys
- 5:55:18Speaker 5: wanteth the eternity of all things. It wanteth honey, It wantethlees,
- 5:55:24Speaker 5: It wanteth drunken midnight. It wanteth graves. It wanteth grave, tears, consolation.
- 5:55:31Speaker 5: It wanteth gilded evening red. What doth joy not want?
- 5:55:38Speaker 5: It is thirst year, heartier, hungrier, more frightful, more mysterious
- 5:55:44Speaker 5: than all woe. It wanteth itself. It biteth into itself.
- 5:55:51Speaker 5: The rings will righteth in it. It wanteth love, It
- 5:55:56Speaker 5: wanteth hate. It is over rich, it bestoweth, it throweth away.
- 5:56:02Speaker 5: It beggeth for someone to take away from it. If
- 5:56:05Speaker 5: thanketh for taker, it would fain be hated. So rich
- 5:56:10Speaker 5: is joy that it thirsteth for woe, for hell, for hate,
- 5:56:15Speaker 5: for shame, for the lame, for the world, for this world.
- 5:56:21Speaker 6: Oh ye know it.
- 5:56:22Speaker 5: Indeed, ye hire men for you doth it long this joy,
- 5:56:26Speaker 5: this irrepressible blessed joy, for your woe, Ye failures, for failures,
- 5:56:33Speaker 5: longeth all eternal joy for joys or want themselves. Therefore
- 5:56:39Speaker 5: do ye also want grief? Oh happiness, O pain, Oh
- 5:56:45Speaker 5: break thou heart. Ye hire men, do learn it. The
- 5:56:50Speaker 5: joys want eternity, joy wanteth eternity. Of all things, they
- 5:56:56Speaker 5: want deep profound eternity. Twelve Have ye now learned my song?
- 5:57:08Speaker 5: Have ye divined what it would say?
- 5:57:11Speaker 3: Well?
- 5:57:11Speaker 5: Cheer up, ye hire men. Sing now My rendelais. Sing
- 5:57:16Speaker 5: now yourselves, the song, the name of which is once more,
- 5:57:21Speaker 5: the signification of which is unto all eternity. Sing, ye,
- 5:57:27Speaker 5: hire men. Zarathustra's rendelais, O man, take heed? What saith?
- 5:57:34Speaker 5: Deep midnight's voice? Indeed, I slept my sleep from deepest dream.
- 5:57:40Speaker 5: I woke and plead. The world is deep and deeper
- 5:57:45Speaker 5: than the day can read. Deep is its woe, joy
- 5:57:50Speaker 5: deeper still than grief can be. Woe saith hence go,
- 5:57:56Speaker 5: But joys or want eternity, want deep profound eternity. End
- 5:58:08Speaker 5: of Part four, Chapter seventy nine, Part four, Chapter eighty.
- 5:58:16Speaker 7: The Sign.
- 5:58:18Speaker 5: In the morning. However, after this night, Zarathustra jumped up
- 5:58:22Speaker 5: from his couch, and, having girded his loins, he came
- 5:58:26Speaker 5: out of his cave, glowing and strong, like a morning
- 5:58:29Speaker 5: sun coming out of gloomy mountains. Thou great star spake
- 5:58:35Speaker 5: he as he had spoken once before, Thou deep eye
- 5:58:40Speaker 5: of happiness, What would be all thy happiness if thou
- 5:58:44Speaker 5: hast not those for whom thou shinest, And if they
- 5:58:48Speaker 5: remained in their chambers, to whilst thou art already awake
- 5:58:52Speaker 5: and comest, and bestowest and distributest, how would thy proud
- 5:58:57Speaker 5: modesty upbraid for it? Well, they still sleep, these higher men,
- 5:59:04Speaker 5: whilst I am awake. They are not my proper companions.
- 5:59:09Speaker 5: Not for them do I wait here in my mountains,
- 5:59:14Speaker 5: at my work. I want to be at my day.
- 5:59:18Speaker 5: But they understand not what are the signs of my morning?
- 5:59:22Speaker 5: My step is not for them the awakening call. They
- 5:59:27Speaker 5: still sleep in my cave. Their dream still drinketh at
- 5:59:31Speaker 5: my drunken songs. The audent ear for me, the obedient
- 5:59:36Speaker 5: ear is lacking in their limbs. This had Zarathustra spoken
- 5:59:41Speaker 5: to his heart. When the sun rose. Then he looked
- 5:59:45Speaker 5: inquiringly aloft, for he had heard above him the sharp
- 5:59:48Speaker 5: call of his eagle. Well, he called upwards. Thus it
- 5:59:53Speaker 5: is pleasing and proper to me, my animals are awake.
- 5:59:57Speaker 6: For I am awake.
- 6:00:00Speaker 5: My eagle is awake, and like me, honoreth the sun
- 6:00:04Speaker 5: with eagle talones, does it grasp at the new light?
- 6:00:07Speaker 5: Ye are my proper animals? I love you, But still
- 6:00:12Speaker 5: do I lack my proper men? Thus spake Zarathustra. Then, however,
- 6:00:18Speaker 5: it happened that all on a sudden he became aware
- 6:00:21Speaker 5: that he was flocked around, and fluttered around, as if
- 6:00:25Speaker 5: by innumerable's birds. The whitzing of so many wings, however,
- 6:00:29Speaker 5: and the crowding around his head was so great that
- 6:00:32Speaker 5: he shut his eyes, and verily they came down upon him,
- 6:00:36Speaker 5: as it were a cloud, like a cloud of arrows,
- 6:00:39Speaker 5: which poureth upon a new enemy. But behold here it
- 6:00:43Speaker 5: was a cloud of love and showered upon a new friend.
- 6:00:47Speaker 5: What happened unto me, thought Zarathustra in his astonished heart,
- 6:00:52Speaker 5: and slowly seated himself on the big stone, which lay
- 6:00:56Speaker 5: close to the exit from his cave. But while he grew,
- 6:01:00Speaker 5: fussed around with his hands around him, above him and
- 6:01:03Speaker 5: below him, and repelled the tender birds. Behold there then
- 6:01:09Speaker 5: happened to him something still stranger, for he grasped thereby unawares,
- 6:01:15Speaker 5: into a mass of thick, warm, shaggy hair. At the
- 6:01:19Speaker 5: same time, however, there soundeth before him a roar, a
- 6:01:24Speaker 5: long soft lion roar. The sign cometh, said Zarathustra, and
- 6:01:31Speaker 5: a change came over his heart, and in truth, when
- 6:01:35Speaker 5: it turned clear before him there lay a yellow, powerful
- 6:01:39Speaker 5: animal at his feet, resting his head upon its knee,
- 6:01:43Speaker 5: unwilling to leave him out of love, and doing like
- 6:01:46Speaker 5: a dog which again findeth its old master. The doves, however,
- 6:01:51Speaker 5: were no less eager with their love than the lion,
- 6:01:54Speaker 5: And whenever a dove whisked over its nose, the lion
- 6:01:57Speaker 5: shook its head and wandered and laughed. When all this
- 6:02:02Speaker 5: went on, Zarathustra spoke only a word, my children are nigh,
- 6:02:07Speaker 5: my children. Then he became quite mute. His heart, however,
- 6:02:14Speaker 5: was loosed, and from his eyes there dropped down tears
- 6:02:18Speaker 5: and fell upon his hands, And he took no further
- 6:02:21Speaker 5: notice of anything, but sat there motionless, without repelling the
- 6:02:25Speaker 5: animals further. Then flew the doves to and fro and
- 6:02:30Speaker 5: perched on his shoulder and caressed his white hair, and
- 6:02:33Speaker 5: he did not tire of their tenderness and joyousness. The
- 6:02:37Speaker 5: strong lion, however, licked always the tears that fell on
- 6:02:40Speaker 5: Zarathustra's hands and roared and growled shyly. Thus did the
- 6:02:46Speaker 5: animals do. All this went on for a long time
- 6:02:51Speaker 5: or a short time, for properly speaking, there is no
- 6:02:55Speaker 5: time on this earth for such things. Meanwhile, however, the
- 6:03:00Speaker 5: higher men awakened in Zarathustra's cave, and marshaling themselves for
- 6:03:05Speaker 5: a procession to go to meet Zarathustra and give him
- 6:03:08Speaker 5: their morning greeting, for they had found when they awakened,
- 6:03:12Speaker 5: that he no longer tarried with them. When, however, they
- 6:03:16Speaker 5: reached the door of the cave, and the noise of
- 6:03:19Speaker 5: their steps preceded them, the lion started violently and turned
- 6:03:24Speaker 5: away all at once from Zarathustra, and roaring wildly, sprang
- 6:03:28Speaker 5: towards the cave. The higher men, however, when they heard
- 6:03:32Speaker 5: the lion roaring, cried all aloud as with one voice,
- 6:03:35Speaker 5: fled back and vanished in an instant. Zarathustra himself, however,
- 6:03:41Speaker 5: stunned and strange, arose from his seat, looked around him,
- 6:03:46Speaker 5: stood there, astonished, acquiring of his heart, bethought himself and
- 6:03:51Speaker 5: remained alone. What did I hear? He said at last, slowly,
- 6:03:58Speaker 5: what happened unto me just now? But soon there came
- 6:04:03Speaker 5: to him his recollection, and he took in at a
- 6:04:06Speaker 5: glance all that had taken place between yesterday and to day.
- 6:04:11Speaker 5: Here is indeed the stone, he said, and stroked his
- 6:04:15Speaker 5: beard on it. Sat I, yester morn, And here came
- 6:04:20Speaker 5: the soothsayer unto me, And here heard I first the
- 6:04:24Speaker 5: cry which I heard just now, the great cry of distress?
- 6:04:29Speaker 5: O ye, hire men, your distress? Was it that the
- 6:04:33Speaker 5: old soothsayer foretold to me, yester morn, unto your distress?
- 6:04:38Speaker 5: Did he want to seduce and tempt me? Oh, Zarathustra,
- 6:04:43Speaker 5: he said to me, I come to seduce thee to
- 6:04:46Speaker 5: th last sin, to my last sin, cried Zarathustra, and
- 6:04:52Speaker 5: laughed angrily at his own words. What hath been reserved
- 6:04:57Speaker 5: for me as my last sin? And once more Zarathustra
- 6:05:03Speaker 5: became absorbed in himself, and sat down again on the
- 6:05:07Speaker 5: big stone and meditated. Suddenly he sprang up, fellow suffering,
- 6:05:13Speaker 5: fellow suffering with the higher men, he cried out, and
- 6:05:17Speaker 5: his countenance changed into brass. Well, that hath its time,
- 6:05:25Speaker 5: my suffering and my fellow suffering? What matter about them?
- 6:05:31Speaker 5: Do I then strive after happiness? I strive after my
- 6:05:36Speaker 5: work well. The lion. Hath come. My children are nigh. Zarathustra,
- 6:05:45Speaker 5: hath grown ripe mine hour. Hath come. This is my morning,
- 6:05:53Speaker 5: My day beginneth arise. Now arise thou great to noontide.
- 6:06:03Speaker 5: Thus spake Zarathustra, and left his cave, glowing and strong,
- 6:06:09Speaker 5: like a morning sun coming out of gloomy mountains. And
- 6:06:17Speaker 5: of thus spake Zarathustra. By Friedrich Nietzsche
