  Speaker 1: Thus spake Zarathustra by Friederic Nietzsche, translated by Thomas Common
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: Zarathustra's prolog one. When Zarathustra was thirty years old, he
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: left his home and the wake of his home, and
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: went into the mountains. There he enjoyed his spirit in solitude,
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: and for ten years did not weary of it. But
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: at last his heart changed, and, rising one morning with
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: the rosy dawn, he went before the sun and spake,
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: thus unto it, Thou, great star, what would be thy happiness?
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: If thou hadst not those for whom thou shinest for
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: ten years, hast thou climbed hither unto my cave, Thou
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: wouldst have wearied of thy light and of the journey,
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: had it not been for me, mine eagle, and my serpent.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: But we awaited THEE every morning, took from thee thine overflow,
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: and blessed THEE for it. Lo, I am weary of
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: my wisdom, like the bee that hath gathered too much honey.
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: I need hands outstretched to take it. I would fame, bestow,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: and distribute, until the wise have once more become joyous
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: in their folly, and the poor happy in their riches. Therefore,
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: must I descend into the deep, as thou doest in
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the evening, when thou goest behind the sea and givest
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: light also to the nether world, Thou exuberant star like thee,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: must I go down, as men say, to whom I
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: shall descend. Bless me, then, thou, tranquil ie, that canst
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: behold even the greatest happiness without envy. Bless the cup
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: that is about to overflow, that the water may flow
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: golden out of it and carry everywhere the reflection of
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: thy bliss. Lo this cup is again going to empty itself,
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: and Zarathustra is again going to be a man. Thus
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: began Zarathustra's down going.
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Two.
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: Zarathustra went down the mountain alone, no one meeting him.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: When he entered the forest, however, there suddenly stood before
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: him an old man who had left his holy cot
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: to seek roots. And thus spake the old man to Zarathustra.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: No stranger to me. Is this wanderer many years ago
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: passed he by Zarathustra, he was called, but he hath altered.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: Then Thou carriest thine ashes into the mountain. Wilt thou
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: now carry thy fire into the valleys. Fearest thou not
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: the incendiary's doom? Yea I recognize Zarathustra. Peer is his eye,
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: and no loathing lurketh about his mouth. Goeth he not
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: along like a dancer altered? Is Zarathustra. A child? Hath
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Zarathustra become an awakened one? Is Zarathustra. What wilt thou
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: do in the land of the sleepers? As in the sea?
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Hast thou lived in solitude, and it hath borne thee
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: up alas wilt thou now go ashore? Alas wilt thou
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: again drag thy body thyself. Zarathustra answered, I love mankind?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Why said the Saint? Did I go into the forest
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: and the desert? Was it not because I loved men
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: far too well? Now I love God men. I do
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: not love man. Is a thing too imperfect for me.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Love to man would be fatal to me. Zarathustra answered,
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: what spake I of love? I am bringing gifts unto men?
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: Give them nothing, said the Saint. Take rather part of
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: their load and carry it along with them. That will
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: be most agreeable unto them, if only it be agreeable
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: unto thee. If however, thou wilt give unto them, give
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: them no more than an alms, and let them also
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: beg for it. No, replied Zarathustra, I give no alms.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I am not poor enough for that. The saint laughed
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: at Zarathustra and spake. Thus, then see to it that
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: they accept thy treasures. They are distrustful of anchorites, and
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: do not believe that we come with gifts. The fall
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: of our footsteps wringeth too hollow through their streets. And
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: just as at night when they are in bed and
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: hear a man abroad long before sunrise, so they ask
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: themselves concerning us, where goeth the thief? Go not to men,
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: but stay in the forest, Go rather to the animals.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: Be like me a bear amongst bears, a bird amongst birds.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: And what doeth the saint in the forest, asked Zarathustra.
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: The saint answered, I make hymns and sing them, And
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: in making hymns I laugh and weep and mumble. Thus
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: do I praise God with singing, weeping, laughing and mumbling?
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: Do I praise the God who is my God? But
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: what dost thou bring us as a gift. When Zarathustra
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: had heard these words, he bowed to the saint and said,
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: what should I have to give thee? Let me rather hurry,
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: hence lest I take aught away from thee. And thus
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: they parted from one another, the old man and Zarathustra,
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: laughing like schoolboys. When Zarathustra was alone, however, he said
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: to his heart, could it be possible, this old saying,
• 5:58
  Speaker 1: the forest hath not yet heard of it? That God
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: is dead? Three. When Zarathustra arrived at the nearest town,
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: which adjoineth the forest, he found many people assembled in
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: the marketplace, for it had been announced that a rope
• 6:15
  Speaker 1: dancer would give a performance. And Zarathustra spake, thus, unto
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: the people, I teach you the superman man is something
• 6:24
  Speaker 1: that is to be surpassed. What have ye done to
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: surpass man? All beings hitherto have created something beyond themselves?
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: And ye want to be the ebb of that great tide,
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: and would rather go back to the beast than surpass man.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: What is the ape to man a laughing stock a
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: thing of shame? And just the same shall man be
• 6:48
  Speaker 1: to the superman a laughing stock a thing of shame.
• 6:53
  Speaker 1: Ye have made your way from the worm to man,
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: and much within you is still worm. Once were ye apes,
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: And even yet man is more of an ape than
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: any of the apes. Even the wisest among you is
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: only a disharmony and hybrid of plant and phantom. But
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: do I bid you become phantoms or plants. Lo I
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: teach you the superman. The Superman is the meaning of
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: the earth. Let your will say, the Superman shall be
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: the meaning of the earth. I conjure you, my brethren,
• 7:32
  Speaker 1: remain true to the earth, and believe not those who
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: speak unto you of super earthly hopes. Poisoners are they,
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: whether they know it or not. Despisers of life are they,
• 7:45
  Speaker 1: decaying ones and poisoned ones themselves, of whom the earth
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: is wary, So away with them. Once blasphemy against God
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: was the greatest blasphemy. But God died, and therewith all
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: of those blasphemers. To blaspheme the earth is now the
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: dreadfulest sin. And to rate the heart of the unknowable
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: higher than the meaning of the earth. Once the soul
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: looked contemptuously on the body, and then that contempt was
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: the supreme thing. The soul wished the body meager ghastly
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: and famished. Thus it thought to escape from the body
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and the earth. Oh, that the soul was itself meager,
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: ghastly and famished, and cruelty was the delight of that soul.
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: But ye, also, my brethren, tell me what doth your
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: body say about your soul? Is your soul not poverty
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: and pollution and wretched self complacency. Verily, a polluted stream
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: is man. One must be a sea to receive a
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: polluted stream without becoming impure. Lo I teach you superman,
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: he is that see in him? Can your great contempt
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: be submerged? What is the greatest thing you can experience?
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: It is the hour of great contempt, The hour in
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: which even your happiness becometh loathsome unto you, and so
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: also your reason and virtue. The hour when you say,
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: what good is my happiness? It is poverty and pollution
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: and wretched self complacency. But my happiness should justify existence itself.
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: The hour when you say, what good is my reason?
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: Doth it long for knowledge as the lion for his food?
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: It is poverty and pollution and wretched self complacency. The
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: hour when you say what good is my virtue? And
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Yet it hath not made me passionate. How weary I
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: am of my good and my bad? It is all
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: poverty and pollution and wretched self complacency. The hour when
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: ye say what good is my justice? I do not
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: see that I am fervor and fuel the just, however,
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: are fervor and fuel the hour when ye say what
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: good is my pity? Is not pity the cross on
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: which he is nailed? Who loveth man? But my pity
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: is not a crucifixion. Have ye ever spoken thus? Have
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you ever cried thus?
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Ah?
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: Would that I had heard you crying? Thus? It is
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: not your sin. It is your self satisfaction that crieth
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: unto heaven. Your very sparingness in sin crieth unto heaven.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: Where is the lightning to lick you with its tongue?
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Where is the frenzy with which ye should be inoculated?
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: Lo I teach you the superman. He is that lightning,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: He is that frenzy. When Zarathustra had thus spoke, one
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: of the people called out, we have now heard enough
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: of the rope dancer. It is time now for us
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: to see him. And all the people laughed at Zarathustra
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: but the rope dancer, who thought the words applied to
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: him began his performance. Four Zarathustra, however, looked at the
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: people and wondered. Then he spake. Thus, man is a
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: rope stretched between the animal and the superman, a rope
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: over an abyss, a dangerous crossing, a dangerous wayfaring, a
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: dangerous looking back, a dangerous trembling and halting. What is
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: great in man is that he is a bridge and
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: not a goal. What is lovable in man is that
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: he is an overgoing and a down going. I love
• 11:54
  Speaker 1: those that know not how to live except as down gooers,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: for they are the overgoer. I love the great despisers,
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: because they are the great adorers and arrows of longing
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: for the other shore. I love those who do not
• 12:11
  Speaker 1: first seek a reason beyond the stars for going down
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: and being sacrifices, but sacrifice themselves to the earth that
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: the earth of the Superman may hereafter arrive. I love
• 12:24
  Speaker 1: him who liveth in order to know, and seeketh to know,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: in order that the Superman may hereafter live. Thus seeketh
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: he his own down gooing. I loveth him who labereth
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: and inventeth, that he may build the house for the superman,
• 12:42
  Speaker 1: and prepare for him earth, animal, and plant. For thus
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: seeketh he his own down gooing. I love him who
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: loveth his virtue, For virtue is the will to dowgoing
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: and an arrow of longing. I love him who reserveth
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: no sh share of spirit for himself, but wanteth to
• 13:02
  Speaker 1: be holy the spirit of his virtue. Thus walketh he
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: as spirit over the bridge. I love him who maketh
• 13:11
  Speaker 1: his virtue his inclination and destiny. Thus, for the sake
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: of his virtue, he is willing to live on or
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: live no more. I love him who desireth not too
• 13:24
  Speaker 1: many virtues. One virtue is more of a virtue than two,
• 13:29
  Speaker 1: because it is more of a knot for one's destiny
• 13:31
  Speaker 1: to cling to. I love him whose soul is lavish,
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: who wanteth no thanks and doth not give back, for
• 13:40
  Speaker 1: he always bestoweth and desireth not to keep for himself.
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: I love him who is ashamed when the dice fall
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: in his favor, and who then asketh am I a
• 13:51
  Speaker 1: dishonest player? For he is willing to succumb. I love
• 13:58
  Speaker 1: him who scattereth golden words in advance of his deeds
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: and always doeth more than he promiseth, for he seeketh
• 14:05
  Speaker 1: his own downgoing. I love him who justifieth the future
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: ones and redeemeth the past ones, for he is willing
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: to succumb through the present ones. I love him who
• 14:20
  Speaker 1: chasteth his God, because he loveth his God, for he
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: must succumb through the wrath of his God. I love
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: him whose soul is deep even in the wounding, and
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: may succumb through a small matter. Thus goeth he willingly
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: over the bridge. I love him whose soul is so
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: over full that he forgeteth himself, and all things are
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: in him. Thus all things become his downgoing. I love
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: him who is of a free spirit and a free heart.
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: Thus is his head only the bowels of his heart.
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: His heart, however, causeth his down gooing. I love all
• 15:05
  Speaker 1: who are like heavy drops falling one by one out
• 15:09
  Speaker 1: of the dark cloud that lowereth over man. They herald
• 15:13
  Speaker 1: the coming of the lightning and succumb as heralds lo.
• 15:19
  Speaker 1: I am a herald of the lightning, and a heavy
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: drop out of the cloud. The lightning, however, is the superman. Five.
• 15:30
  Speaker 1: When Zarathustra had spoken these words, he again looked at
• 15:34
  Speaker 1: the people, and was silent. There they stand, said he
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: to his heart. There they laugh, they understand me. Not
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: I am not the mouth for these ears. Must one
• 15:48
  Speaker 1: first batter their ears that they may learn to hear
• 15:51
  Speaker 1: with their eyes? Must one clatter like kettle drums and
• 15:56
  Speaker 1: penitential preachers? Or do they only believe this stammer? They
• 16:01
  Speaker 1: have something whereof they are proud. What do they call it?
• 16:06
  Speaker 1: That which maketh them proud? Culture? They call it it
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: distinguisheth them from the goatherds. They dislike, therefore to hear
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: of contempt of themselves. So I will appeal to their pride.
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: I will speak unto them of the most contemptible thing, that, however,
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: is the last man. And thus spake Zarathustra unto the people.
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: It is time for man to fix his goal. It
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: is time for man to plant the germ of his
• 16:39
  Speaker 1: highest hope. Still is his soil rich enough for it?
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: But that soil will one day be poor and exhausted,
• 16:47
  Speaker 1: and no lofty tree will any longer be able to
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: grow thereon alas, there cometh the time when man will
• 16:56
  Speaker 1: no longer launch the arrow of his longing beyond man
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: and the string of his bow will have unlearned to whiz.
• 17:04
  Speaker 1: I tell you one must still have chaos in one
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: to give birth to a dancing star. I tell you
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: he have still chaos in you. Alas there cometh the
• 17:16
  Speaker 1: time when man will no longer give birth to any star.
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: Alas there cometh the time of the most despicable man,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: who can no longer despise himself. Lo, I show you
• 17:31
  Speaker 1: the last man, what is love? What is creation? What
• 17:35
  Speaker 1: is longing? What is a star? So asketh the last man,
• 17:40
  Speaker 1: and blinketh The earth hath then become small? And on
• 17:46
  Speaker 1: it there hoppeth the last man, who maketh everything small.
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: His species is ineradicable, like that of the ground flea.
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: The last man liveth longest. We have discovered how happiness,
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: say the last men, and blink Thereby. They have left
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: the regions where it is hard to live, for they
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: need warmth. One still loveth one's neighbor, and rubbeth against him,
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: for one needeth warmth. Turning ill and being distrustful, they
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: consider sinful, they walk warily. He is a fool who
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: still stumbleth over stones or men. A little poison now
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: and then that maketh pleasant dreams. And much poison at
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: last for a pleasant death. One still worketh, for work
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: is a pastime, but one is careful lest the pastime
• 18:41
  Speaker 1: should hurt one. One no longer becometh poor or rich.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: Both are too burdensome. Who still wanteth to rule? Who
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: still wanteth to obey? Both are too burdensome. No shepherd
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: and one heard everyone wanteth this. Everyone is equal. He
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: who hath other sentiments goeth voluntarily into the madhouse. Formerly
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: all the world was insane, say the subtlest of them,
• 19:14
  Speaker 1: and blink thereby. They are clever and know all that
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: hath happened. So there is no end to their raillery.
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: People still fall out, but are soon reconciled. Otherwise it
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: spoileth their stomachs. They have their little pleasures for the day,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: and their little pleasures for the night, but they have
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: a regard for health. We have discovered happiness, say the
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: last men, and blink thereby. And here ended the first
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: discourse of Zarathustra, which is also called the prologue, for
• 19:49
  Speaker 1: at this point the shouting and mirth of the multitude
• 19:53
  Speaker 1: interrupted him. Give us this last man, oh Zarathustra, they
• 19:58
  Speaker 1: called out, Make us into these last men, then will
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: we make thee a present of the superman. And all
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: the people exulted and smacked their lips. Zarathustra, however, turned
• 20:15
  Speaker 1: sad and said to his heart, they understand me not.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: I am not the mouth for these ears too long?
• 20:23
  Speaker 1: Perhaps have I lived in the mountains too much? Have
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: I harkened unto the brooks and trees? Now do I
• 20:30
  Speaker 1: speak unto them as unto the goatherds. Calm is my soul,
• 20:36
  Speaker 1: and clear like the mountains in the morning. But they
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: think me cold and a mocker with terrible jests. And
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: now do they look at me and laugh? And while
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: they laugh, they hate me too. There is ice in
• 20:53
  Speaker 1: their laughter.
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: Six.
• 20:58
  Speaker 1: Then, however, something happened which made every mouth mute and
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: every eye fixed. In the meantime, of course, the rope
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: dancer had commenced his performance. He had come out at
• 21:10
  Speaker 1: a little door and was going along the rope, which
• 21:13
  Speaker 1: was stretched between two towers so that it hung above
• 21:17
  Speaker 1: the marketplace and the people. When he was just midway across,
• 21:22
  Speaker 1: the little door opened once more, and a gaudily dressed
• 21:25
  Speaker 1: fellow like a buffoon, sprang out and went rapidly after
• 21:30
  Speaker 1: the first one go on halt foot, cried his frightful voice.
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: Go on, lazy bones, interloper, sallow face, lest I tickle
• 21:39
  Speaker 1: thee with my heel. What dost thou hear? Between the
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: towers and the tower is the place for thee? Thou
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: shouldst be locked up to one better than thyself. Thou
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: blockest the way, And with every word he came nearer
• 21:54
  Speaker 1: and nearer the first one. When, however, he was but
• 21:58
  Speaker 1: a step behind, there happened the frightful thing, which made
• 22:01
  Speaker 1: every mouth mute and every eye fixed. He uttered a
• 22:05
  Speaker 1: yell like a devil, and jumped over the other who
• 22:08
  Speaker 1: was in his way. The latter, however, when he thus
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: saw his rival triumph lost at the same time his
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: head and his footing on the rope, he threw his
• 22:18
  Speaker 1: pole away and shot downwards faster than it, like an
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: eddy of arms and legs, into the depth. The marketplace
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and the people were like the sea. When the storm
• 22:30
  Speaker 1: cometh on, they all flew apart and in disorder, especially
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: where the body was about to fall. Zarathustra, however, remained standing,
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: and just beside him fell the body, badly injured and disfigured,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: but not yet dead. After a while consciousness returned to
• 22:49
  Speaker 1: the shattered man, and he saw Zarathustra kneeling beside him.
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: What art thou doing here? Said he at last, I
• 22:57
  Speaker 1: knew long ago that the devil would trip me up.
• 23:00
  Speaker 1: Now he draggeth me to hell. Wilt thou prevent him?
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: On mine honor? My friend, answered Zarathustra, there is nothing
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: of all that whereof thou speakest, there is no devil
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: and no hell. Thy soul will be dead even sooner
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: than thy body. Fear therefore nothing anymore. The man looked
• 23:22
  Speaker 1: up distrustfully. If thou speakest the truth, said he, I
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: lose nothing when I lose my life. I am not
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: much more than an animal which hath been taught to
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: dance by blows and scanty. Fair not at all, said Zarathustra.
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: Thou hast made danger thy calling therein there is nothing contemptible.
• 23:46
  Speaker 1: Now thou perishest by thy calling. Therefore will I bury
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: thee with mine own hands. When Zarathustra had said this,
• 23:55
  Speaker 1: the dying one did not reply further, but he moved
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: his hand as if he sought the hand of Zarathustra
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: in gratitude.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Seven.
• 24:06
  Speaker 1: Meanwhile, the evening came on and the marketplace veiled itself
• 24:10
  Speaker 1: in gloom. Then the people dispersed, for even curiosity and
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: terror became fatigued. Zarathustra, however, still sat beside the dead
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: man on the ground, absorbed in thought. So he forgot
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the time. But at last it became night, and a
• 24:29
  Speaker 1: cold wind blew upon the lonely one. Then arose Zarathustra
• 24:33
  Speaker 1: and said to his heart, verily, a fine ketch of
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: fish hath Zarathustra made today. It is not a man
• 24:42
  Speaker 1: he hath caught, but a corpse. Somber is human life,
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: and as yet without meaning, a buffoon may be faithful
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: to it. I want to teach men the sense of
• 24:53
  Speaker 1: their existence, which is the superman, the lightning out of
• 24:57
  Speaker 1: the dark cloud man. But still am I far from them,
• 25:04
  Speaker 1: and my sense speaketh not unto their sense. To men,
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: I am still something between a fool and a corpse.
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: Gloomy is the knight. Gloomy are the ways of Zarathustra.
• 25:16
  Speaker 1: Come thou, cold and stiff companion. I carry thee to
• 25:20
  Speaker 1: the place where I shall bury thee with mine own hands.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: Eight.
• 25:26
  Speaker 1: When Zarathustra had said this to his heart, he put
• 25:29
  Speaker 1: the corpse upon his shoulders and set out on his way.
• 25:32
  Speaker 1: Yet he had not gone a hundred steps when there
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: stole a man up to him and whispered in his ear.
• 25:38
  Speaker 1: And lo he that spake was the buffoon from the tower.
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: Leave this town, oh, Zarathustra said he. There are too
• 25:47
  Speaker 1: many here who hate THEE the good, and just hate
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: THEE and call THEE their enemy and despiser. The believers
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: in the Orthodox belief hate THEE and call THEE a
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: danger to the multitude. It was thy good fortune to
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: be laughed at, And verily thou spakest like a buffoon,
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: it was thy good fortune to associate with the dead dog.
• 26:09
  Speaker 1: By so humiliating thyself, thou hast saved thy life. Today. Depart, however,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: from this town, or tomorrow, I shall jump over THEE,
• 26:19
  Speaker 1: a living man over a dead one. And when he
• 26:22
  Speaker 1: had said this, the buffoon vanished. Zarathustra, however, went on
• 26:29
  Speaker 1: through the dark streets. At the gate of the town,
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: the grave diggers met him. They shone their torch on
• 26:35
  Speaker 1: his face, and recognizing Zarathustra, they sorely derided him. Zarathustra
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: is carrying away the dead dog. A fine thing that
• 26:44
  Speaker 1: Zarathustra hath turned a grave digger, for our hands are
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: too cleanly for that roast. Will Zarathustra steal the bite
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: from the devil? Well, then good luck to the repast.
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: If only the devil is not a better thief than Zarahthustra,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: he will steal them both. He will eat them both.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: And they laughed among themselves and put their heads together.
• 27:10
  Speaker 1: Zarathustra made no answer there too, but went on his way.
• 27:14
  Speaker 1: When he had gone on for two hours past forests
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: and swamps, he had heard too much of the hungry
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: howling of the wolves, and he himself became hungry. So
• 27:25
  Speaker 1: he halted at a lonely house in which the light
• 27:27
  Speaker 1: was burning. Hunger attacketh me, said Zarathustra, like a robber
• 27:33
  Speaker 1: among forests and swamps. My hunger attacketh me, and late
• 27:37
  Speaker 1: in the night strange humors hath my hunger. Often it
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: cometh to me only after a repast, and all day
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: it hath failed to come where hath it been? And
• 27:50
  Speaker 1: thereupon Zarathustra knocked at the door of the house. An
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: old man appeared, who carried a light, and asked, who
• 27:57
  Speaker 1: cometh unto me? And my bad sleep? A living man
• 28:02
  Speaker 1: and a dead one, said, Zarathustra, give me something to
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: eat and drink. I forgot it during the day. He
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: that feedeth the hungry refresheth his own soul saith wisdom.
• 28:14
  Speaker 1: The old man withdrew, but came back immediately and offered
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: Zarathustra bread and wine. A bad country for the hungry,
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: said he, that is why I live here. Animal and
• 28:26
  Speaker 1: man come unto me the anchorite, But bid thy companion
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: eat and drink. Also he is warier than thou. Zarathustra answered,
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: my companion is dead. I shall hardly be able to
• 28:39
  Speaker 1: persuade him to eat. That doth not concern me, said
• 28:44
  Speaker 1: the old man, sullenly. He that knocketh at my door
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: must take what I offer him, eat and fare ye well. Thereafter,
• 28:53
  Speaker 1: Zarathustra again went on for two hours, trusting to the
• 28:57
  Speaker 1: path and the light of the stars, for he was
• 29:00
  Speaker 1: an experienced night walker and liked to look into the
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: face of all that slept. When the morning dawned, however,
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: Zarathustra found himself in a thick forest, and no path
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: was any longer visible. He then put the dead man
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: in a hollow tree at his head, for he wanted
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: to protect him from the wolves, and laid himself down
• 29:25
  Speaker 1: to sleep on the ground and moss. And immediately he
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: fell asleep, tired in body, but with a tranquil soul.
• 29:35
  Speaker 1: Nine long slept Zarathustra, and not only the rosy dawn
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: passed over his head, but also the morning. At last, however,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: his eyes opened, and amazedly he gazed into the forest
• 29:50
  Speaker 1: and the stillness. Amazedly he gazed into himself. Then he
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: arose quickly like a seafarer who all at once seethed
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: the land. And he shouted for joy, for he saw
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: a new truth, and he spake thus to his heart.
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: A light hath dawned upon me. I need companions, living ones,
• 30:12
  Speaker 1: not dead companions and corpses, which I carry with me
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: where I will. But I need living companions who will
• 30:19
  Speaker 1: follow me because they want to follow themselves, and to
• 30:24
  Speaker 1: the place where I will. A light hath dawned upon me.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Not to the people is Zarathustra to speak, but to companions.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: Zarathustras shall not be the herd's herdsmen and hound to
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: allure many from the herd. For that purpose have I come.
• 30:41
  Speaker 1: The people and the herd must be angry with me.
• 30:45
  Speaker 6: A robber.
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: Shall Zarathustra be called by the herdsman? Herdsmen, I say,
• 30:51
  Speaker 1: but they call themselves the good and just. Herdsmen, I say,
• 30:56
  Speaker 1: but they call themselves the believers and the orthodox belief
• 31:00
  Speaker 1: Behold the good and just? Whom do they hate most,
• 31:04
  Speaker 1: Him who breaketh up their tables of values? The breaker,
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: the lawbreaker? He, however, is the Creator. Behold the believers
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: of all beliefs. Whom do they hate most? Him who
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: breaketh up their tables of values? The breaker, the law breaker, He, however,
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: is the Creator. Companions. The Creator seeketh not corpses, and
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: not herds or believers either fellow creators. The Creator seeketh
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: those who grave new values on new tables. Companions, the
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: Creator seeketh and fellow reapers. For everything is ripe for
• 31:45
  Speaker 1: the harvest with him, But he lacketh the hundred sickles.
• 31:49
  Speaker 1: So he plucketh the ears of corn and is vexed. Companions,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: the Creator seeketh, and such as know how to wet
• 31:58
  Speaker 1: their sickles. Destroyers will they be called, and despisers of
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: good and evil? But they are the reapers and rejoicers.
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Fellow creators. Zarathustras seeketh fellow reapers and fellow rejoicers. Zarathustra
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: seeketh what hath he to do with herds and herdsmen
• 32:20
  Speaker 1: and corpses, And thou, my first companion, rest in peace?
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: Well have I buried thee in thy hollow tree? Well
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: have I hid thee from the wolves? But I part
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: from thee the time hath arrived TwixT rosy dawn and
• 32:39
  Speaker 1: rosy dawn, there came unto me a new truth. I
• 32:43
  Speaker 1: am not to be a herdsman. I am not to
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: be a grave digger. Not anymore will I discourse unto
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: the people for the last time? Have I spoken unto
• 32:52
  Speaker 1: the dead, with the creators, the reapers, and the rejoicers.
• 32:58
  Speaker 1: Will I associate the rainbow? Will I show them and
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: all the stairs to the superman, to the lone dweller,
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: will I sing my song? And to the twain dwellers,
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: and unto him who hath still ears for the unheard.
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: While I make the heart heavy with my happiness, I
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: make for my goal. I follow my course over the
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: loitering and tardy while I leap. Thus let my ongoing
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: be there down going ten. This had Zarathustra said to
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: his heart. When the sun stood at noontide. Then he
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: looked inquiringly aloft, for he heard above him the sharp
• 33:40
  Speaker 1: call of a bird. And behold an eagle swept through
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: the air in wide circles, And on it hung a serpent,
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: not like a prey, but like a friend, for it
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: kept itself coiled round the eagle's neck. They are mine animals,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: said Zarathustra, and rejoiced in his heart. The proudest animal
• 34:02
  Speaker 1: under the sun, and the wisest animal under the sun.
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: They have come out to reconnoiter. They want to know
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: whether Zarathustras still liveth verily, do I still live? More dangerous?
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Have I found it among men than among animals? In
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: dangerous paths? Goeth Zarathustra. Let mine animals lead me. When
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: Zarathustra had said this, he remembered the words of the
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: saint in the forest. Then he sighed and spake, thus
• 34:34
  Speaker 1: to his heart. Would that I were wiser, Would that
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: I were wise from the very heart like my serpent.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: But I am asking the impossible. Therefore, do I ask
• 34:46
  Speaker 1: my pride to go always with my wisdom. And if
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: my wisdom should someday forsake me alas it loveth to
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: fly away, May my pride then fly with my folly.
• 35:01
  Speaker 1: Thus began Zarathustra's down gooing end of Zarathustra's prologue.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: Thus spake Zarathustra by Frederic Nietzsche, translated by Thomas Common,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: Part one, Chapter one, The Three Metamorphoses Three metamorphoses of
• 35:27
  Speaker 2: the Spirit. Do I designate to you? How the spirit
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: becometh a camel, the camel a lion, and the lion
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: alast a child. Many heavy things are there for the spirit,
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: the strong, load bearing spirit, in which reverence dwelleth for
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: the heavy and the heaviest. Longeth is strength? What is heavy?
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: So asketh the load bearing Spirit? Then kneeleth it down
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: like the camel, and wanteth to be well laden? What
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: is the heaviest thing?
• 35:59
  Speaker 7: You hear?
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: Ros, asketh the load bearing Spirit, that I might take
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: it upon me and rejoice in my strength. Is it
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: not this to humiliate one's self in order to morify
• 36:11
  Speaker 2: one's pride, to exhibit one's folly in order to mock
• 36:15
  Speaker 2: at one's wisdom? Or is it this to desert our
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: cause when it celebrateth its triumph, to ascend high mountains,
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: to tempt the tempter, or Is it this to feed
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: on the acorns and grass of knowledge, and for the
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: sake of truth, to suffer hunger of soul? Or is
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: it this to be sick and dismiss comforters and make
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: friends of the death who never hear thy requests? Or
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: is it this to go into foul water when it
• 36:46
  Speaker 2: is the water of truth, not disclaim cold frogs and
• 36:50
  Speaker 2: hot toads. Or is it this to love those who
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: despise us and give one's hand to the phantom when
• 36:56
  Speaker 2: it is going.
• 36:57
  Speaker 8: To frighten us?
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: All these heaviest things, the load bearing spirit taketh upon itself.
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: And like the camel, which, when laden, hasteneth into the wilderness,
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: so hasteneth the Spirit into its wilderness. But in the
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: loneliest wilderness happeneth the second metamorphosis. Here the spirit becometh
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: a lion. Freedom will capture it, and lordship and its
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: own wilderness its last lord. It here seeketh hostile. Will
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: it be to him and to last God for victory
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: will struggle with the great Dragon. What is the great dragon?
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: Which is spirit? Is no longer inclined to call Lord
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: and God? Thou shalt is the great dragon called for
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: the spirit of the lion saith I will thou shalt
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: lieth in its path, sparkling with gold a scale covered beast,
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: and on every scale glittereth golden. Thou shalt the values
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: of a thousand years glitter on those scales. And thus
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: speaketh the mightiest of all dragons. All the values of
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: things things glitter on me. All values have already been created,
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: And all created values do I represent? Verily, Thou shall
• 38:09
  Speaker 2: be no my will anymore, Thus speaketh the dragon, my brethren.
• 38:15
  Speaker 2: Wherefore is the need of the lion in the spirit,
• 38:18
  Speaker 2: Why sufficeth not the beast of burden, which renounceth and
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: is reverent to create new values that even the lion
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: cannot yet accomplish, But to create itself freedom for new creating,
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: that can the might of the lion do, to create
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: itself freedom and give a holy nay even unto duty.
• 38:40
  Speaker 2: For that, my brethren, there is need of a lion
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: to assume the right to new values. That is the
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: most formidable assumption for load bearing and reverent spirit. Verily
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: into such a spirit as praying and the work of
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: a beast of prey as its holiest at once loved
• 38:58
  Speaker 2: thou shalt, and now it is forced to find illusion
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: and arbitrariness, even in the holiest things that may capture
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: freedom from its love. The lion is needeth for this capture.
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: But tell me, my brethren, what the child can do,
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: which even the lion could not do. Why hath the
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: praying lions still to become a child? Innocence is the
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: child and forgetfulness, a new beginning, a game, a self
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: rolling wheel, a first movement, A holy ya aye for
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: the game of creating, My brethren, there is needed a
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: holy yea unto life its own will willeth. Now the
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: spirit his own world winneth the world's outcast. Three metamorphoses
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: of the spirit have I designated to you? How the
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: spirit became a camel, the camel a lion, and the
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: lion alast the child. Thus spake Zarathustra. And at the
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: time he abode in a town which is called the
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: Pied Cow. End of Chapter one.
• 40:09
  Speaker 1: Part one, Chapter two. The academic chairs of virtue people
• 40:17
  Speaker 1: commended unto Zarathustra, a wise man, as one who could
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: discourse well about sleep and virtue. Greatly was he honored
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: and rewarded for it, And all the youths sat before
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: his chair to him when Zarathustra and sat among the
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: youths before his chair, And thus spake the wise man
• 40:37
  Speaker 1: respect and modesty in presence of sleep, that is the
• 40:41
  Speaker 1: first thing, and go out of the way of all
• 40:44
  Speaker 1: who sleep badly and keep awake at night. Modest is
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: even the thief in the presence of sleep. He always
• 40:51
  Speaker 1: stealeth softly through the night. Immodest, however, is the night
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: watchman immodestly he carrieth his horn. No small art is
• 41:01
  Speaker 1: it to sleep. It is necessary for that purpose to
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: keep awake all day. Ten times a day must thou
• 41:09
  Speaker 1: overcome thyself, that causeth wholesome weariness and his poppy to
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: the soul. Ten times must thou reconcile again with thyself
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: for overcoming his bitterness and badly sleep the unreconciled. Ten
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: truths must thou find during the day, otherwise wilt thou
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: seek truth during the night, and thy soul will have
• 41:31
  Speaker 1: been hungry. Ten times must thou laugh during the day
• 41:35
  Speaker 1: and be cheerful, otherwise thy stomach, the father of affliction,
• 41:40
  Speaker 1: will disturb thee in the night. Few people know it,
• 41:44
  Speaker 1: but one must have all the virtues in order to
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: sleep well? Shall I bear false witness? Shall I commit adultery?
• 41:52
  Speaker 1: Shall I covet my neighbour's maid servant? All that would
• 41:56
  Speaker 1: ill accord with good sleep? Even if one have all
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: the virtues, there is still one thing needful, to send
• 42:03
  Speaker 1: the virtues themselves to sleep at the right time, that
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: they may not quarrel with one another. The good females
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: and about thee thou unhappy one, peace with God and
• 42:16
  Speaker 1: thy neighbor. So desireth good sleep, and peace also with
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: thy neighbour's devil. Otherwise it will haunt thee in the night.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Honor to the government and obedience, and also to the
• 42:29
  Speaker 1: crooked government. So desireth good sleep? How can I help it?
• 42:34
  Speaker 1: If power liketh to walk on crooked legs, he who
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: leadeth his sheep to the greenest pasture shall always be
• 42:41
  Speaker 1: for me the best shepherd. So doth it accord with
• 42:45
  Speaker 1: good sleep? Many honors I want not, nor great treasures
• 42:50
  Speaker 1: they excite the spleen. But it is bad sleeping without
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: a good name and a little treasure. A small company
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: is more welcome to me than a bad one. But
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: they must come and go at the right time. So
• 43:05
  Speaker 1: doth it accord with good sleep? Well? Also, do the
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: poor in spirit please me? They promote sleep? Blessed are they,
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: especially if one always give in to them. Thus passeth
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: the day unto the virtuous. When night cometh, then I
• 43:22
  Speaker 1: take good care not to summon sleep. It disliketh to
• 43:25
  Speaker 1: be summoned sleep, the Lord of the virtues. But I
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: think of what I have done and thought during the day.
• 43:34
  Speaker 1: Thus ruminating, patient as a cow, I ask myself, what
• 43:39
  Speaker 1: were thy ten overcomings? And what were the ten reconciliations,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: and the ten truths? And the ten laughters with which
• 43:48
  Speaker 1: my heart enjoyed itself. Thus pondering and cradled by forty thoughts,
• 43:54
  Speaker 1: it overtaketh me all at once, Sleep, the unsummoned, the
• 43:59
  Speaker 1: Lord of the virtues. Sleep tappeth on mine eye, and
• 44:04
  Speaker 1: it turneth heavy. Sleep toucheth my mouth, and it remaineth
• 44:08
  Speaker 1: open verily on soft souls. Doth it come to me
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: the dearest of thieves, and stealeth from me my thoughts? Stupid?
• 44:18
  Speaker 1: Do I then stand like this academic chair? But not
• 44:22
  Speaker 1: much longer do I then stand? I already lie. When
• 44:28
  Speaker 1: Zarathustra heard the wise man, thus speak, He laughed in
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: his heart, for thereby had light dawned upon him, and
• 44:36
  Speaker 1: thus spakey to his heart. A fool seemeth this wise man,
• 44:41
  Speaker 1: with his forty thoughts. But I believe he knoweth well
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: how to sleep happy, even as he who liveth near
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: this wise man. Such sleep is contagious, even through a
• 44:54
  Speaker 1: thick wall. It is contagious. A magic resiteth even in
• 44:58
  Speaker 1: his academic chair. And not in vain did the youth
• 45:02
  Speaker 1: sit before the preacher of virtue. His wisdom is to
• 45:05
  Speaker 1: keep awake in order to sleep well and verily. If
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: life had no sense, and I had to choose nonsense,
• 45:14
  Speaker 1: this would be the desirablest nonsense for me. Also, now
• 45:19
  Speaker 1: know I well what people sought formerly above all else
• 45:23
  Speaker 1: when they sought teachers of virtue, good sleep. They sought
• 45:27
  Speaker 1: for themselves and poppyheaded virtues to promote it to all
• 45:31
  Speaker 1: those belotted stages of the academic chairs. Wisdom was sleep
• 45:35
  Speaker 1: without dreams. They knew no higher significance of life even
• 45:40
  Speaker 1: at present. To be sure, there are some like this
• 45:43
  Speaker 1: preacher of virtue, and not always so honorable. But their
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: time is past, and not much longer do they stand there.
• 45:52
  Speaker 1: They already lie. Blessed are those drowsy ones, for they
• 45:57
  Speaker 1: shall soon nod to sleep. Thus spake Zarathustra, and of
• 46:05
  Speaker 1: Part one, Chapter two, Part one, Chapter three, Backworldsman. Once
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: on a time, Zarathustra also cast his fancy beyond man,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: like all backworldsmen, the work of a suffering and tortured god.
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: Did the world then seem to me the dream and
• 46:26
  Speaker 1: diction of a god? Did the world then seem to
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: me colored vapors before the eyes of a divinely dissatisfied one,
• 46:35
  Speaker 1: good and evil, and joy and woe? And I and thou?
• 46:39
  Speaker 1: Colored vapors? Did they seem to me before creative eyes?
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: The creator wished to look away from himself. Thereupon he
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: created the world intoxicating joy. It is for the sufferer
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: to look away from his suffering and forget himself intoxicating
• 46:56
  Speaker 1: joy and self forgetting. Did the world once seem to me?
• 47:01
  Speaker 1: This world the eternally imperfect, an eternal contradiction's image and
• 47:06
  Speaker 1: imperfect image an intoxicating joy to its imperfect creator? Thus
• 47:11
  Speaker 1: did the world once seem to me? Thus, once on
• 47:16
  Speaker 1: a time did I also cast my fancy beyond man?
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: Like all backworldsmen beyond man forsooth ah ye, brethren, that
• 47:27
  Speaker 1: God whom I created was human work and human madness,
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: like all the gods. A man was he and only
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: a poor fragment of a man and ego. Out of
• 47:38
  Speaker 1: mine own ashes and glow, it came unto me that phantom.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: And verily it came not unto me from the beyond.
• 47:46
  Speaker 1: What happened, my brethren, I surpassed myself, the suffering one.
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: I carried mine own ashes to the mountain. A brighter
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: flame I contrived for myself, and lo thereupon the phantom
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: withdrew from me to me the convalescent. Would it now
• 48:04
  Speaker 1: be suffering and torment to believe in such phantoms? Suffering?
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: Would it now be to me and humiliation? Thus speak
• 48:12
  Speaker 1: I to backworldsman suffering? Was it an impotence that created
• 48:18
  Speaker 1: all backworlds? And the short madness of happiness which only
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: the greatest sufferer experienceth weariness which seeketh to get to
• 48:28
  Speaker 1: the ultimate with one leap, with a death leap, A poor,
• 48:32
  Speaker 1: ignorant weariness, unwilling even to will any longer, that created
• 48:37
  Speaker 1: all gods and backworlds. Believe me, my brethren, it was
• 48:42
  Speaker 1: the body which despaired of the body. It groped with
• 48:45
  Speaker 1: the fingers of the infatuated spirit at the ultimate walls.
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Believe me, my brethren, it was the body which despaired
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: of the earth. It heard the bowels of existence speaking
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: unto it, and then it sought to get through the
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: ultimate walls with its head, and not with its head
• 49:04
  Speaker 1: only into the other world. But that other world is
• 49:10
  Speaker 1: well concealed from man, that dehumanized inhuman world, which is
• 49:14
  Speaker 1: a celestial knot. And the bowels of existence do not
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: speak unto man except as man. Verily, it is difficult
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: to prove all being, and hard to make it speak.
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: Tell me, ye, brethren, is not the strangest of all
• 49:30
  Speaker 1: things best proved? YEA, this ego, with its contradiction and perplexity,
• 49:37
  Speaker 1: speaketh most uprightly of its being, this creating, willing, evaluing ego,
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: which is the measure and value of things, And this
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: most upright existence, the ego. It speaketh of the body,
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: and still implieth the body, even when it museth and
• 49:56
  Speaker 1: raveth and fluttereth with broken wings. Always more uprightly learneth
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: it to speak the ego, And the more it learneth,
• 50:04
  Speaker 1: the more doth it find titles and honors for the
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: body and the earth. A new pride taught me mine ego,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: And that teach I unto men no longer to thrust
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: one's head into the sand of celestial things, but to
• 50:19
  Speaker 1: carry it freely, a terrestrial head, which giveth meaning to
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: the earth. A new will I teach unto men to
• 50:28
  Speaker 1: choose that path which man hath followed blindly, and to
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: approve of it, and no longer slink aside from it,
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: like the sick and perishing. The sick and perishing. It
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: was they who despised the body and the earth, and
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: invented the heavenly world and the redeeming blood drops. But
• 50:49
  Speaker 1: even those sweet and sad poisons they borrowed from the
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: body and the earth. From their misery, they sought escape,
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: and the stars were too remote for them. Then they sighed, oh,
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: that there were heavenly paths by which to steal into
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: another existence and into happiness. Then they contrived for themselves
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: their bypaths and bloody drafts beyond the sphere of their
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: body and this earth. They now fancied themselves transported these
• 51:22
  Speaker 1: ungrateful ones. But to what did they owe the convulsion
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: and rapture of their transport to their body and this earth.
• 51:31
  Speaker 1: Gentle is Zarathustra to the sickly Verily, he is not
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: indulgent at their modes of consolation and ingratitude. May they
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: become convalescents and overcomers and create higher bodies for themselves.
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: Neither is Zarathusta indignant at a convalescent who looketh tenderly
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: on his delusions, and at midnight stealeth round the grave
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: of his God. But sickness and a sick frame remain
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: even in his tears. Sickly ones have there always been
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: among those who muse and languish for God violently. They
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: hate the discerning ones and the latest of virtues, which
• 52:10
  Speaker 1: is uprightness backward. They always gaze toward dark ages. Then,
• 52:17
  Speaker 1: indeed were delusion and faith something different. Raving of the
• 52:21
  Speaker 1: reason was likeness to God, and doubt was sin too well?
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Do I know those god like ones? They insist on
• 52:29
  Speaker 1: being believed in, and that doubt is sin too well?
• 52:33
  Speaker 1: Also do I know what they themselves most believe in? Verily,
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: not in backworlds and redeeming blood drops, but in the body.
• 52:44
  Speaker 1: Do they also believe? Most and their own body is
• 52:49
  Speaker 1: for them the thing in itself, but it is a
• 52:52
  Speaker 1: sickly thing to them, and gladly would they get out
• 52:56
  Speaker 1: of their skin. Therefore, hearken they to the preachers of death,
• 53:00
  Speaker 1: and themselves preach backworlds. Hearken rather, my brethren, to the
• 53:06
  Speaker 1: voice of the healthy body. It is a more upright
• 53:11
  Speaker 1: and pure voice. More uprightly and purely speaketh the healthy body,
• 53:16
  Speaker 1: perfect and square built, And it speaketh of the meaning
• 53:21
  Speaker 1: of the earth. Thus spake Zarathustra. End of Part one,
• 53:31
  Speaker 1: Chapter three, Part one, Chapter four, The despisers of the body,
• 53:38
  Speaker 1: to the despisers of the body, will I speak my word?
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: I wish them neither to learn afresh nor teach anew,
• 53:45
  Speaker 1: but only to bid farewell to their own bodies. And
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: thus be dumb. Body am I, and soul? So saith
• 53:55
  Speaker 1: the child, And why should one not speak like children?
• 53:59
  Speaker 1: But then the knowing one saith Body am I entirely
• 54:05
  Speaker 1: and nothing more. And soul is only the name of
• 54:09
  Speaker 1: something in the body. The body is a big sagacity,
• 54:14
  Speaker 1: a plurality with one sense, a war and a peace,
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: a flock and a shepherd. An instrument of thy body
• 54:23
  Speaker 1: is also thy little sagacity, my brother, which thou callest
• 54:27
  Speaker 1: spirit a little instrument and plaything of thy big sagacity, Ego,
• 54:34
  Speaker 1: sayest thou, and art proud of that word. But the
• 54:38
  Speaker 1: greater thing in which thou art unwilling to believe is
• 54:42
  Speaker 1: thy body, with its big sagacity. It's saith, not ego.
• 54:47
  Speaker 1: But doeth it what the sense feeleth, what the spirit discerneth.
• 54:52
  Speaker 1: Hath never its end in itself? But sense and spirit
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: would fain persuade thee that they are the end of
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: all things. So vain are they. Instruments and playthings are
• 55:04
  Speaker 1: a sense and spirit behind them. There is still the Self.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: The Self seeketh with the eyes of the senses. It
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: hearkeneth also with the ears of the Spirit. Ever hearkeneth
• 55:17
  Speaker 1: the Self and seeketh it compareth, mastereth, conquereth, and destroyeth.
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: It ruleth, and is also the ego's ruler behind thy
• 55:28
  Speaker 1: thoughts and feelings. My brother, there is a mighty lord,
• 55:32
  Speaker 1: an unknown sage. It is called self. It dwelleth in
• 55:37
  Speaker 1: thy body. It is thy body. There is more sagacity
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: in thy body than in thy best wisdom. And who
• 55:46
  Speaker 1: then knoweth why thy body requireth just thy best wisdom,
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: thyself laugheth at thy nego and its proud prancings. What
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: are these prancings and flights of thought? Unto me? It
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: saith to itself a by way to my purpose. I
• 56:02
  Speaker 1: am the leading string of the ego and the prompter
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: of its notions. The self saith unto the ego feel pain,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: and thereupon it suffereth and thinketh how it might put
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: an end there too. And for that very purpose it
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: is meant to think. The self saith unto the ego
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: feel pleasure. Thereupon it rejoiceth and thinketh how it may
• 56:26
  Speaker 1: ofttimes rejoice. And for that very purpose it is meant
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: to think. To the despisers of the body, will I
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: speak a word that they despise is caused by their esteem?
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: What is it that created esteeming and despising and worth
• 56:43
  Speaker 1: and will? The creating self created for itself esteeming and despising.
• 56:50
  Speaker 1: It created for itself joy and woe. The creating body
• 56:54
  Speaker 1: created for itself spirit as a hand to its will.
• 57:00
  Speaker 1: In your folly and despising, ye each serve yourself, ye
• 57:03
  Speaker 1: despisers of the body. I tell you your very self wanteth
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: to die and turneth away from life. No longer can
• 57:14
  Speaker 1: yourself do that which it desireth most, create beyond itself,
• 57:19
  Speaker 1: that is what it desireth most, that is all its fervor.
• 57:24
  Speaker 1: But it is now too late to do so. So
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: yourself wisheth to succumb, Ye, despisers of the body, to succumb?
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: So wisheth yourself? And therefore have ye become despisers of
• 57:38
  Speaker 1: the body, For ye can no longer create beyond yourselves.
• 57:43
  Speaker 1: And therefore are ye now angry with life and with
• 57:46
  Speaker 1: the earth, And unconscious envy is in the sidelong look
• 57:52
  Speaker 1: of your contempt. I go not your way, ye, despisers
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: of the body. Ye are no bridges for me to
• 57:59
  Speaker 1: the Superman. Thus spake Zarathustra. And of Chapter four, Part one,
• 58:11
  Speaker 1: Chapter five, Joys and Passions, My brother, When thou hast
• 58:17
  Speaker 1: a virtue, and it is thine own virtue, thou hast
• 58:20
  Speaker 1: it in common with no one, to be sure, thou
• 58:24
  Speaker 1: wouldst call it by name and caress it. Thou wouldst
• 58:26
  Speaker 1: pull its ears and amuse thyself with it. And lo,
• 58:31
  Speaker 1: then hast thou its name in common with the people,
• 58:34
  Speaker 1: and hast become one of the people. And the herd
• 58:36
  Speaker 1: with thy virtue, better for thee to say, ineffable is
• 58:41
  Speaker 1: it and nameless that which is pain and sweetness to
• 58:44
  Speaker 1: my soul, and also the hunger of my bowels. Let
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: thy virtue be too high for the familiarity of names,
• 58:53
  Speaker 1: And if thou must speak of it, be not ashamed
• 58:56
  Speaker 1: to stammer about it. Thus speak and stammer. That is
• 59:00
  Speaker 1: my good, that do I love? Thus doth it and
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: please me entirely. Thus only do I desire the good?
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: Not as the law of a god. Do I desire it?
• 59:12
  Speaker 1: Not as a human law or a human need? Do
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: I desire it? It is not to be a guidepost
• 59:18
  Speaker 1: for me to super earths and paradises. An earthly virtue
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: is it which I love? Little prudence is therein, and
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: the least everyday wisdom. But that bird built its nest
• 59:30
  Speaker 1: beside me. Therefore I love and cherish it. Now sitteth
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: it beside me on its golden eggs. Thus shouldst thou
• 59:40
  Speaker 1: stammer and praise thy virtue. Once hadst thou passions and
• 59:45
  Speaker 1: calledst them evil. But now hast thou only thy virtues.
• 59:50
  Speaker 1: They grew out of thy passions. Thou implantedest thy highest
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: aim into the heart of those passions. Then became they
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 1: thy virtues and joys. And though thou wert of the race,
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: of the hot tempered, or of the voluptuous, or of
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 1: the fanatical or the vindictive, all thy passions in the
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: end became virtues, and all thy devils angels. Once hadst
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: thou wild dogs in thy cellar, but they changed at
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 1: last into birds and charming songstresses. Out of thy poisons,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: broodst thou balsam for thyself thy cow affliction milk'st Thou
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: now drinkest thou the sweet milk of her utter. And
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: nothing evil groweth in thee any longer, unless it be
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: the evil that groweth out of the conflict of thy virtues.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: My brother, If thou be fortunate, then wilt thou have
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 1: one virtue and no more. Thus goest thou easier over
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: the bridge. Illustrious is it to have many virtues but
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: a hard lot, and many one hath gone into the
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 1: wilderness and killed himself because he was wary of being
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 1: the battle and battlefield of virtues, My brother, Are war
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 1: and battle evil necessary? However? Is the evil necessary? Are
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: the envy and the distrust and the backbiting among the virtues. Lo,
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 1: how each of thy virtues is covetous of the highest place.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: It wanteth thy whole spirit to be its herald. It
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 1: wanteth thy whole power, and wrath, hatred and love. Jealous
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: is every virtue of the others, And a dreadful thing
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 1: is jealousy. Even virtues may succumb by jealousy. He whom
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: the flame of jealousy encompasseth turneth at last like the scorpion,
• 1:01:50
  Speaker 1: the poisoned sting against himself. Ah, my brother, hast thou
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: never seen a virtue backbite and stab itself. Man is
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 1: something that hath to be surpassed. And therefore shalt thou
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 1: love thy virtues, for thou wilt succumb by them. Thus
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: spake Zarathustra, Part.
• 1:02:12
  Speaker 3: One, Chapter six, the pale criminal. Ye do not mean
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 3: to slay ye judges and sacrificers. Until the animal hath
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 3: bowed its head. Lo, the pale criminal hath bowed his
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 3: head out of his eye, speaketh the great contempt Mine
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: ego is something which is to be surpassed. Mine ego
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 3: is to me the great contempt of man. So speaketh
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 3: it out of that eye when he judged himself. That
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 3: was his supreme moment. Let not the exalted one relapse
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: again into his low estate. There is no salvation for
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 3: him who thus suffereth from himself, unless it be speedy death.
• 1:02:52
  Speaker 3: You are slaying, ye, judges, shall be pity and not revenge.
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 3: And in that ye slay. See to it that ye
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 3: yourselves just by life. It is not enough that ye
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 3: should reconcile with him whom ye slay. Let your sorrow
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 3: be loved to the superman. Thus will ye justify your
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 3: own survival?
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 5: Enemy?
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 3: Shall ye say, but not villain? Invalid? Shall ye say,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: but not wretch?
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 9: Fool?
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 3: Shall ye say, but not sinner? An thou read, judge,
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 3: If thou would say audibly all thou hast done in thought,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 3: then would every one cry away with the nastiness and
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 3: the virulent reptile. But one thing is the thought. Another
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: thing is the deed, and another thing is the idea
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: of the deed. The weal of causality doth not roll
• 1:03:37
  Speaker 3: between them. An idea made this pale man pale adequate
• 1:03:42
  Speaker 3: was he for his deed when he did it, But
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 3: the idea of it he could not endure. When it
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 3: was done. Evermore, did he now see himself as the
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 3: doer of one deed madness? I call this the exception
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: reversed itself to the rule in him. The streak of
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 3: chalk bewitch the hen. The stroke he struck bewitched his
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 3: weak reason madness after the deed. I call this hearken. Ye, judges,
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: there is another madness besides, and it is before the deed. Ah,
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 3: Ye have not gone deep enough into this soul. Thus
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 3: speaketh the red judge. Why did this criminal commit murder?
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 3: He meant to rob? I tell you, however, that his
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: soul wanted blood, not booty. He thirsted for the happiness
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 3: of the knife. But his weak reason understood not this madness,
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: and it persuaded him. What matter about blood? It said,
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: wishest thou not at least to make booty thereby, or
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: take revenge? And he hearkened unto his weak reason like
• 1:04:42
  Speaker 3: lead lay its words upon him. Thereupon he robbed. When
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 3: he murdered. He did not mean to be ashamed of
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 3: his madness. And now once more lieth the lead of
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: his guilt upon him. And once more is his weak
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: reason so benumbed, so paralyzed, and so dull. Could he
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: only shake his head, then would his burden roll off?
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: But who shaketh that head? What is this man? A
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 3: mass of diseases that reach out into the world through
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 3: the spirit. There they wont to get their prey.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 9: What is this man?
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 3: O coil of wild serpents that are seldom at peace
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 3: among themselves, So they go forth apart and seek prey
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 3: in the world. Look at that poor body, what it
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 3: suffered and craved? The poor soul interpreted to itself. It
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 3: interpreted it as murderous desire and eagerness for the happiness
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: of the knife. Him who now turneth sick. The evil overtaketh,
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 3: which is now the evil. He seeketh to cause pain
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 3: with that which causeth him pain. But there have been
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 3: other ages, and another evil and good. Once was doubt,
• 1:05:46
  Speaker 3: evil and the will to self. Then the invalid became
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 3: a heretic or sorcerer. As heretic or sorcerer, he suffered
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 3: and sought to cause suffering. But this will not enter
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: your ears. It hurteth your good people, ye tell me,
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: But what doth it matter to me about your good people?
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 3: Many things in your good people cause me disgust, and
• 1:06:06
  Speaker 3: verily not their evil. I would that they had a
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: madness by which they succumbed like this pale criminal. Verily,
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: I would that their madness were called truth, or fidelity
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 3: or justice. But they have their virtue in order to
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: live long and in wretched self complacency. I am a
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 3: railing alongside the torrent. Whoever is able to grasp me,
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: may grasp me your crutch. However I am not. Thus
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 3: spake Zarathustra. End of Part one, Chapter six, Part one,
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: Chapter seven. Reading and writing of all that is written,
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 3: I love only what a person hath written with his blood.
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: Write with blood, and thou wilt find that blood is spirit.
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 3: It is no easy task to understand unfamiliar blood. I
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: hate the reading idlers. He who knoweth the reader doeth
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 3: nothing more for the reader. Another century of readers, and
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: spirit itself will stink. Every One being allowed to learn
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 3: to read ruineth in the long run, not only writing,
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 3: but also thinking. Once spirit was God, then it became man,
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 3: and now it even becometh populous. He that writeth in
• 1:07:19
  Speaker 3: blood and proverbs doth not want to be read, but
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: learnt by heart. In the mountains, the shortest way is
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: from peak to peak but for that route thou must
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 3: have long legs. Proverbs should be peaks, and those spoken
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: to should be big and tall. The atmosphere rare and pure,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: danger near, and the spirit fall of a joyful wickedness.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 3: Thus are all things well matched. I want to have
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 3: goblins about me, for I am courageous. The courage which
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: scareth away ghosts, createth for itself goblins. It wanteth to laugh.
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 3: I no longer feel in common with you. The very
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: cloud which I see beneath me, the blackness and heaviness
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: at which I laugh, that is your thunder cloud. Ye
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 3: look aloft when ye long for exaltation, and I look
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 3: downward because I am exalted. Who among you can at
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 3: the same time laugh and be exalted? He who climmeth
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: on the highest mountains laugheth at all tragic plays and
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: tragic realities, courageous, unconcerned, scornful, coercive. So wisdom wisheth us.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 3: She is a woman, and ever loveth only a warrior.
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 3: Ye tell me life is hard to bear, But for
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 3: what purpose should you have your pride in the morning
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 3: and your resignation in the evening. Life is hard to bear,
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 3: But do not affect to be so delicate. We are
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 3: all of us fine sumpter asses and asseses. What have
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 3: we in common with the rose bud which trembleth because
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 3: a drop of dew hath formed upon it? It is
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 3: true we love life, not because we are wont to live,
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 3: but because we are wont to love. There is always
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 3: some madness in love, but there is always also some
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: method in madness. And to me also who appreciate life,
• 1:08:57
  Speaker 3: the butterflies and soap bubbles and whatever is life, them
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: amongst us seem most to enjoy happiness. To see these
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 3: light foolish, pretty, lively little sprites flit about that move
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 3: is Zarathustra to tears and songs. I should only believe
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 3: in a god that would know how to dance. And
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 3: when I saw my devil, I found him serious, thorough, profound, solemn.
• 1:09:19
  Speaker 3: He was the spirit of gravity. Through him all things fall,
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: not bry wrath. But by laughter do we slay? Come,
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 3: Let us slay the spirit of gravity. I learned to walk,
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: Since then I have let myself run. I learned to fly.
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: Since then I do not need pushing in order to
• 1:09:34
  Speaker 3: move from a spot. Now I am light. Now do
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: I fly? Now do I see myself under myself. Now
• 1:09:40
  Speaker 3: there danceth the God in me. Thus spake Zarathustra. End
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: of Part one, Chapter seven, Part one.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 4: Chapter eight. The Tree on the hill. Zarathustra's eye had
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 4: perceived that a certain youth avoid him, and as he
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 4: walked alone one evening over the hills surrounding the town
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 4: called the Pied Cow, behold there he found the youth sitting,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 4: leaning against a tree and gazing with a wearied look
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 4: into the valley. Zarathustra thereupon laid hold of the tree
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 4: beside which the youth sat, and spake, Thus, if I
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 4: wished to shake this tree with my hands, I should
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 4: not be able to do so. But the wind, which
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 4: we see not troubleth and bendeth as it listeth. We
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 4: are sorest bent and troubled by invisible hands. Thereupon the
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 4: youth arose disconcerted, and said, I hear Zarathustra, And just
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 4: now was I thinking of him? Zarathustra answered, why art
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: thou frightened on that account? But it is the same
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: with man as with the tree. The more he seeketh
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: to rise into the height and light, the more vigorously
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 4: do his root struggle earthward. Downward into the dark and
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 4: deep into the evil. Yea, into the evil, cried the youth.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 4: How is it possible that thou thou hast discovered my soul?
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: Zarathustra smiled and said, many a soul one will never
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: discover unless one first invent it. Yea, into the evil,
• 1:11:09
  Speaker 4: cried the youth. Once more, thou sayst the truth, Zarathustra,
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 4: I trust myself no longer, since I sought to rise
• 1:11:16
  Speaker 4: into the height, and nobody trusteth me any longer. How
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 4: doth that happen? I changed too quickly? My to day
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 4: refuteth my yesterday. I often overleap the steps when I clamber.
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 4: For so doing, none of the steps pardons me. When aloft,
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 4: I find myself always alone. No one speaketh unto me.
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 4: The frost of solitude maketh me tremble. What do I
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 4: seek on the height? My contempt and longing increase together.
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 4: The higher I clamber, The more do I despise him
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 4: who clambereth? What doth he seek on the height? How
• 1:11:46
  Speaker 4: ashamed am I of my clambering and stumbling? How I
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 4: mock at my violent panting? How I hate him who flieth?
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 4: How tired am I on the height. Here the youth
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 4: was silent, and Zarathustra contemplated the tree beside which they stood,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 4: and spake, Thus this tree standeth lonely up here on
• 1:12:05
  Speaker 4: the hills. It hath grown up high above man and beast,
• 1:12:08
  Speaker 4: And if it wanted to speak, it would have none
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 4: who could understand it. So high hath it grown. Now
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 4: it waiteth and waiteth for what doth it wait It
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 4: dwelleth too close to the seat of the clouds. It waiteth,
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 4: perhaps for the first lightning. When Zarathustra had said this,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 4: the youth called out with violent gestures. Yea, Zarathustra, Thou
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 4: speakest the truth my destruction I longed for when I
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 4: desired to be on the height, And thou art the
• 1:12:35
  Speaker 4: lightning for which I waited. Lo, what have I been
• 1:12:37
  Speaker 4: since thou appeared amongst us? It is mine envy of
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 4: thee that hast destroyed me. Thus spake the youth, and
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 4: wept bitterly. Zarathustra, however, put his arm about him and
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 4: led the youth away with him, And when they had
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 4: walked awhile together, Zarathustra began to speak, Thus it rendeth
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 4: my heart better than thy words. Express it. Thine eyes
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 4: tell me all thy danger. As yet thou art not free,
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 4: Thou still seekest freedom. Too unslept, hath thy seeking made
• 1:13:06
  Speaker 4: thee and too wakeful on the open height? Wouldst thou
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 4: be for the stars? Thirsteth thy soul, but thy bad
• 1:13:13
  Speaker 4: impulses also thirst for freedom. Thy wild dogs want liberty.
• 1:13:17
  Speaker 4: They bark for joy in their cellar. When thy spirit
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 4: endeavoreth to open all prison doors. Still art thou a prisoner?
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 4: It seemeth to me, who deviseth liberty for himself. Ah
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 4: sharp becometh the soul of such prisoners, but also deceitful
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 4: and wicked. To purify himself is still necessary for the
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 4: freedmen of the spirit. Much of the prison and the
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 4: mold still remaineth in him pure hath his eyes still
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 4: to become YEA, I know thy danger, but by my
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 4: love and hope I conjure THEE. Cast not thy love
• 1:13:47
  Speaker 4: and hope away. Noble Thou feelest thyself still, and noble
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 4: others also feel THEE still, though they bear THEE a
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 4: grudge and cast evil looks. Know this that to everybody
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 4: a noble one standeth in the way. Also to the
• 1:14:01
  Speaker 4: good a noble one standeth in the way, and even
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 4: when they call him a good man, they want thereby
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 4: to put him aside. The new would the nobleman create
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 4: and a new virtue. The old wanteth the good man,
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 4: and that the old should be conserved. But it is
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 4: not the danger of the nobleman to turn a good man,
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 4: but lest he should become a blusterer, a scoffer, or
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 4: a destroyer. Ah, I have no noble ones who lost
• 1:14:26
  Speaker 4: their highest hope, and then they disparaged all high hopes.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 4: Then lived they shamelessly in temporary pleasures, and beyond the
• 1:14:34
  Speaker 4: day had hardly an aim. Spirit is also voluptuousness. Said
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 4: they then broke the wings of their spirit, and now
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 4: it creepeth about and defileth where it gnaweth. Once they
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 4: thought of becoming heroes. But sensualists are they now a
• 1:14:48
  Speaker 4: trouble and a terror is a hero to them. But
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 4: by my love and hope I conjure thee cast not
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 4: away the hero in thy soul. Maintain wholly thy highest hope.
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 4: Thus spake Sarath Sustra. End of Part one, Chapter eight.
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: Part one, Chapter nine. The preachers of death. There are
• 1:15:13
  Speaker 3: preachers of death, and the earth is full of those
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 3: to whom desistance from life must be preached. Full is
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 3: the earth of the superfluous. Marred is life by the many,
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 3: too many. May they be decoyed out of this life
• 1:15:26
  Speaker 3: by the life eternal. The yellow ones so are called
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 3: the preachers of death or the black ones, But I
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 3: will show them unto you and other colors. Besides, there
• 1:15:36
  Speaker 3: are the terrible ones, who carry about in themselves the
• 1:15:39
  Speaker 3: beast of prey, and have no choice except lusts or
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 3: self laceration. And even their lusts are self laceration. They
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: have not yet become men. Those terrible ones. May they
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: preach desistance from life and pass away themselves. There are
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 3: the spiritually consumptive ones. Hardly are they born. When they
• 1:15:58
  Speaker 3: begin to die and long for doctrines of lassitude and renunciation,
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 3: they would fain be dead, and we should approve of
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 3: their wish. Let us beware of awakening those dead ones,
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 3: and of damaging those living coffins. They meet an invalid,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: or an old man, or a corpse, and immediately they
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: say life is refuted. But they only are refuted, and
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: their eye which seeth only one aspect of existence, shrouded
• 1:16:22
  Speaker 3: in thick melancholy and eager for the little casualties that
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: bring death. Thus do they wait and clench their teeth,
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 3: or else they grasp at sweetmeats and mock at their childishness.
• 1:16:33
  Speaker 3: Thereby they cling to their straw of life and mock it.
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: Their still clinging to it, their wisdom speaketh, thus a
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: fool he who remaineth alive. But so far are we fools,
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: And that is the foolishest thing in life. Life is
• 1:16:47
  Speaker 3: only suffering, so say others, and lie not. Then see
• 1:16:51
  Speaker 3: to it that ye cease, see to it that the
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 3: life ceaseth which is only suffering. And let this be
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: the teaching of your virtue. Thou shalt slay thyself. Thou
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: shalt steal away from thyself. Lust is sin, so say
• 1:17:04
  Speaker 3: some who preach death. Let us go apart and beget
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: no children. Giving birth is troublesome, say others. Why still
• 1:17:12
  Speaker 3: give birth? One beareth only the unfortunate, And they also
• 1:17:15
  Speaker 3: are preachers of death. Pity is necessary, So saith a
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 3: third party. Take what I have, Take what I am.
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 3: So much less doth life bind me? Were they consistently pitiful,
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 3: then would they make their neighbors sick of life? To
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: be wicked. That would be their true goodness. But they
• 1:17:33
  Speaker 3: want to be rid of life? What care they if
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: they bind others still faster with their chains and gifts.
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 3: And ye also to whom life is rough, labor and disquiet,
• 1:17:42
  Speaker 3: are ye not very tired of life? Are ye not
• 1:17:45
  Speaker 3: very ripe for the sermon of death?
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 8: All?
• 1:17:47
  Speaker 3: Ye to whom rough labor is dear, and the rapid,
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 3: new and strange, ye put up with yourselves badly. Your
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 3: diligence is flight and the will to self forgetfulness. If
• 1:17:57
  Speaker 3: ye believed more in life, then would ye devote yourselves
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: less to the momentary. But for waiting, ye have not
• 1:18:03
  Speaker 3: enough of capacity in you, not even for idling. Everywhere
• 1:18:07
  Speaker 3: resoundeth the voices of those who preach death, And the
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: earth is full of those to whom death hath to
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: be preached, or life eternal. It is all the same
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 3: to me, if only they pass away quickly. Thus spake Zarathustra.
• 1:18:20
  Speaker 3: End of Part one, Chapter nine, Part.
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 4: One, Chapter ten, War and Warriors. By our best enemies,
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 4: we do not want to be spared, nor by those either,
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 4: whom we love from the very heart. So let me
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: tell you the truth, my brethren in more. I love
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 4: you from the very heart. I am and was ever
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: your counterpart, and I am also your best enemy. So
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: let me tell you the truth. I know the hatred
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 4: and envy of your hearts. You are not great enough
• 1:18:56
  Speaker 4: not to know of hatred and envy, then be great
• 1:18:59
  Speaker 4: enough not to be ashamed of them. And if you
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 4: cannot be saints of knowledge, then I pray you be
• 1:19:04
  Speaker 4: at least its warriors. They are the companions and forerunners
• 1:19:08
  Speaker 4: of such saintship. I see many soldiers, could I but
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 4: see many warriors uniform? One calleth what they wear? May
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 4: it not be uniform what they therewith hide. Ye shall
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 4: be those whose eyes ever seek for an enemy, for
• 1:19:22
  Speaker 4: your enemy, and with some of you there is hatred
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 4: at first sight your enemy. Shall you seek your war?
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 4: Shall you wage, and for the sake of your thoughts,
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 4: And if your thoughts succumb, your uprightness shall still shout triumph.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 4: Thereby ye shall love peace as a means to new wars,
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: and the short peace more than the long. You I
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 4: advise not to work but to fight.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 7: You.
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 4: I advise not to peace but to victory. Let your
• 1:19:49
  Speaker 4: work be a fight, Let your peace be a victory.
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 4: One can only be silent and sit peacefully when one
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 4: hath arrow and bow. Otherwise one prayeth and quarreleth. Let
• 1:19:59
  Speaker 4: your peace be of victory. Ye say, it is the
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 4: good cause which halloweth. Even more I say unto you,
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 4: it is the good war which halloweth every cause. War
• 1:20:08
  Speaker 4: and courage have done more great things than charity. Not
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 4: your sympathy, but your bravery hath hitherto saved the victims.
• 1:20:15
  Speaker 4: What is good you ask to be brave is good.
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 4: Let the little girls say, to be good is what
• 1:20:20
  Speaker 4: is pretty and at the same time touching. They call
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 4: you heartless, But your heart is true, and I love
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 4: the bashfulness of your good will. You are ashamed of
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 4: your flow, and others are ashamed of their ebb You
• 1:20:32
  Speaker 4: are ugly, Well, then, my brethren, take the sublime about you,
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 4: the mantle of the ugly. And when your soul becometh great,
• 1:20:39
  Speaker 4: then doth it become haughty? And in your sublimity there
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 4: is wickedness.
• 1:20:44
  Speaker 9: I know you.
• 1:20:45
  Speaker 4: In wickedness, the haughty man and the weakling meet, but
• 1:20:49
  Speaker 4: they misunderstand one another. I know you. You shall have
• 1:20:53
  Speaker 4: only enemies to be hated, but not enemies to be despised.
• 1:20:57
  Speaker 4: You must be proud of your enemies. Then the successes
• 1:21:00
  Speaker 4: of your enemies are also your successes resistance. That is
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 4: the distinction of the slave. Let your distinction be obedience.
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 4: Let your commanding itself be obeying to the good warrior.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 4: Soundeth thou shalt pleasanter than I will, And all that
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 4: is dear unto you, ye shall have it first commanded
• 1:21:19
  Speaker 4: unto you. Let your love to life be loved to
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 4: your highest hope. And let your highest hope be the
• 1:21:24
  Speaker 4: highest thought of life, your highest thought. However, ye shall
• 1:21:28
  Speaker 4: have it commanded unto you by me. And it is
• 1:21:31
  Speaker 4: this man is something that is to be surpassed. So
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 4: live your life of obedience and of war. What matter
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 4: about long life? What warrior wisheth to be spared? I
• 1:21:42
  Speaker 4: spare you not. I love you from my very heart,
• 1:21:45
  Speaker 4: my brethren in war. Thus spake Zarathustra. End of Part one,
• 1:21:51
  Speaker 4: Chapter ten, Part one, Chapter eleven, The New Idol. Somewhere
• 1:22:06
  Speaker 4: there are still peoples and herds, but not with us,
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 4: my brethren. Here there are states, a state. What is that? Well?
• 1:22:17
  Speaker 4: Open now your ears unto me? For now will I
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 4: say unto you my word concerning the death of peoples.
• 1:22:24
  Speaker 4: A state is called the coldest of all cold monsters.
• 1:22:27
  Speaker 4: Coldly lieth it also, and this lie creepeth from its mouth.
• 1:22:31
  Speaker 4: I the state am the people. It is a lie.
• 1:22:36
  Speaker 4: Creators were they who created peoples and hung a faith
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 4: and a love over them. Thus they served life. Destroyers
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 4: are they who lay snares for many and calleth the state.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 4: They hang a sword and a hundred cravings over them
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 4: where there is still a people there. The state is
• 1:22:53
  Speaker 4: not understood, but hated as the evil eye, and as
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 4: sin against law and customs. This sign I give unto you.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 4: Every people speaketh its language of good and evil. This
• 1:23:05
  Speaker 4: its neighbor understandeth not its language. Hath it devised for
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 4: itself in laws and customs. But the state lieth in
• 1:23:13
  Speaker 4: all languages of good and evil. And whatever it saith,
• 1:23:16
  Speaker 4: it lieth. And whatever it hath it hath stolen. False.
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 4: Is everything in it with stolen teeth. It biteth the
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 4: biting one false, even are its bowels. Confusion of language
• 1:23:27
  Speaker 4: of good and evil. This sign I give unto you
• 1:23:29
  Speaker 4: is the sign of the state. Verily the will to
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 4: death indicateth this sign. Verily it beckoneth under the preachers
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 4: of death. Many too many are born for the superfluous
• 1:23:39
  Speaker 4: ones with the state devised. See just how it enticeth
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 4: them to it, the many too many, how it swalloweth
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 4: and cheweth and recheweth them on earth. There is nothing
• 1:23:51
  Speaker 4: greater than I. It is I who am the regulating
• 1:23:53
  Speaker 4: finger of God. Thus roreth the monster, and not only
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 4: the long eard and short sighted fall upon their knee.
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 7: Ah.
• 1:24:01
  Speaker 4: Even in your ears, ye great souls, it whispereth its
• 1:24:03
  Speaker 4: gloomy lies.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 8: Ah.
• 1:24:05
  Speaker 4: It findeth out the rich hearts which willingly lavish themselves. Yea,
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 4: it findeth you out, too, ye conquerors of the old God.
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 4: Weary he became because of the conflict. And now your
• 1:24:16
  Speaker 4: weariness serveth the new Idol. Heroes and honorable ones. It
• 1:24:20
  Speaker 4: would fain set up around it, the new Idol. Gladly
• 1:24:23
  Speaker 4: it basketh in the sunshine of good consciences. The cold monster.
• 1:24:27
  Speaker 4: Everything will it give you if you worship it the
• 1:24:31
  Speaker 4: new Idol. Thus it purchaseth the luster of your virtue
• 1:24:35
  Speaker 4: and the glance of your proud eyes. It seeketh to
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 4: allure by means of you, the many too many yea,
• 1:24:43
  Speaker 4: a hellish artifice. Hath here been devised a death horse,
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 4: jingling with the trappings of divine honors? Yea, A dying
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 4: for many? Hath here been devised which glorifieth itself as life, verily,
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 4: a hearty service unto all preachers of death. The state
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 4: I call it where all are poisoned drinkers, the good
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 4: and the bad. The state where all lose themselves, the
• 1:25:06
  Speaker 4: good and the bad. The state where the slow suicide
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 4: of all is called life. Just see these superfluous ones.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 4: They steal the works of the inventors and the treasures
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 4: of the wise culture. They call their theft, and everything
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 4: becometh sickness and trouble unto them, Just see these superfluous ones.
• 1:25:23
  Speaker 4: Sick are they always? They vomit their bile and call
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 4: it a newspaper. They devour one another and cannot even
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 4: digest themselves. Just see these superfluous ones. Wealth they acquire
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 4: and become poorer. Thereby power they seek for, and above all,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 4: the lever of power much money. These impotent ones. See
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 4: them clamber, these nimble apes. They clamber over one another,
• 1:25:45
  Speaker 4: and then scuffle into the mud and the abyss towards
• 1:25:48
  Speaker 4: the throne. They all strive. It is their madness, as
• 1:25:52
  Speaker 4: if happiness sat on the throne. Ofttimes setteth filth on
• 1:25:55
  Speaker 4: the throne, and ofttimes also the throne on filth. They
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 4: all seem to me, and clambering apes, and too eager
• 1:26:03
  Speaker 4: badly smellth their idle to meet the cold monster. Badly
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 4: they all smell to me, these idolaters, my brethren, Will
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 4: you suffocate in the fumes of their maws and appetites.
• 1:26:13
  Speaker 4: Better break the windows and jump into the open air.
• 1:26:16
  Speaker 4: Do go out of the way of the bad odor,
• 1:26:19
  Speaker 4: withdraw from the idolatry of the superfluous. Do go out
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 4: of the way of the bad odor, withdraw from the
• 1:26:25
  Speaker 4: steam of these human sacrifices. Opens still remaineth the earth
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 4: for great souls. Empty, are still many sights for lone
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 4: ones and twain ones around which floateth the odor of
• 1:26:35
  Speaker 4: tranquil seas. Open still remaineth a free life for great souls. Verily,
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 4: he who possesseth little is so much more the less
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 4: possessed blessed be moderate poverty. There Where the state ceaseth
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 4: Their only commenceth the man who is not superfluous. There
• 1:26:54
  Speaker 4: commenceth the song of the necessary ones, the single and
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 4: irreplaceable melody. There where the state ceaseth. Pray. Look thither,
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 4: my brethren, do you not see it? The rainbow and
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 4: the bridges of the superman. Thus spake Zarathustra. End of
• 1:27:14
  Speaker 4: Part one, Chapter eleven.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 3: Part one, Chapter twelve. The flies in the marketplace flee,
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 3: my friend, into thy solitude. I see thee deafened with
• 1:27:30
  Speaker 3: the noise of the great men, and stung all over
• 1:27:32
  Speaker 3: with the stings of the little ones. Admirably do forest
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 3: and rock know how to be silent with thee? Resemble
• 1:27:39
  Speaker 3: again the tree which thou lovest, the broad branched one,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 3: silently and attentively. It o'er hangeth the sea. Where solitude endeth,
• 1:27:47
  Speaker 3: there beginneth the marketplace. And where the marketplace beginneth, there
• 1:27:50
  Speaker 3: beginneth also the noise of the great actors and the
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 3: buzzing of the poison flies. In the world. Even the
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 3: best things are worthless without those who represent them. Those
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 3: representers the people call great men. Little do the people
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 3: understand what is great, that is to say, the creating agency.
• 1:28:09
  Speaker 3: But they have a taste for all representers and actors
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 3: of great things around the devisers of new values revolveth
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: the world invisibly it revolveth, But around the actors revolve
• 1:28:20
  Speaker 3: the people and the glory. Such is the course of things.
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 3: Spirit hath the actor, but little conscience of the spirit.
• 1:28:27
  Speaker 3: He believeth always in that wherewith he maketh believe most
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 3: strongly in himself. Tomorrow he hath a new belief, and
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 3: the day after one still newer sharp perceptions. Hath he,
• 1:28:38
  Speaker 3: like the people and changeable humors, to upset, That meaneth
• 1:28:43
  Speaker 3: with him to prove, to drive mad, that meaneth with
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 3: him to convince. And blood is counted by him as
• 1:28:48
  Speaker 3: the best of all arguments, a truth which only glideth
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 3: into fine ears. He calleth falsehood and trumpery. Verily, he
• 1:28:56
  Speaker 3: believeth only in gods that make a great noise in
• 1:28:58
  Speaker 3: the world fallow clattering buffoons is the market place, and
• 1:29:02
  Speaker 3: the people glory in their great men. These are for
• 1:29:05
  Speaker 3: them the masters of the hour. But the hour presseth them,
• 1:29:09
  Speaker 3: so they press thee, and also from thee they want
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 3: yea or nay alas thou wouldst set thy chair betwixt
• 1:29:16
  Speaker 3: fore and against on account of those absolute and impatient ones,
• 1:29:20
  Speaker 3: be not jealous, thou lover of truth. Never yet did
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 3: truth cling to the arm of an absolute one. On
• 1:29:27
  Speaker 3: account of those abrupt ones, return into thy security. Only
• 1:29:32
  Speaker 3: in the market place is one assailed by yea or nay.
• 1:29:35
  Speaker 3: Slow is the experience of all deep fountains. Long have
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 3: they to wait until they know what hath fallen into
• 1:29:41
  Speaker 3: their depths. Away from the market place and from fame
• 1:29:45
  Speaker 3: taketh place all that is great. Away from the market
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 3: place and from fame have ever dwelt the devisors of
• 1:29:51
  Speaker 3: new values. Flee, my friend, into thy solitude. I see
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 3: thee stung all over by the poisonous flies. Flee thither
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 3: where a rough, strong breeze blow. Flee into thy solitude.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 3: Thou hast lived too closely to the small and the pitiable.
• 1:30:06
  Speaker 3: Flee from their invisible vengeance towards thee. They have nothing
• 1:30:09
  Speaker 3: but vengeance, raise no longer an arm against them. Innumerable
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 3: are they, and it is not thy lot to be
• 1:30:16
  Speaker 3: a fly flap. Innumerable are the small and pitiable ones,
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 3: and of many a proud structure, rain drops and weeds
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 3: have been the ruin. Thou art not stone, but already
• 1:30:26
  Speaker 3: hast thou become hollow by the numerous drops. Thou wilt
• 1:30:29
  Speaker 3: yet break and burst by the numerous drops. Exhausted, I
• 1:30:33
  Speaker 3: see THEE by poisonous flies, bleeding. I see THEE and
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 3: torn at a hundred spots. And thy pride will not
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 3: even upbraid. Blood they would have from THEE in all innocence.
• 1:30:44
  Speaker 3: Blood their bloodless souls crave for, and they sting therefore
• 1:30:47
  Speaker 3: in all innocence. But thou profound one, Thou sufferest too profoundly,
• 1:30:52
  Speaker 3: even from small wounds. And ere thou hadst recovered the
• 1:30:55
  Speaker 3: same poison worm crawled over thy hand.
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 5: Too.
• 1:30:59
  Speaker 3: Proud art thou kill thee sweet tooths? But take care
• 1:31:02
  Speaker 3: lest it be thy fate to suffer all their poisonous
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 3: and justice. They buzz around THEE also with their praise.
• 1:31:09
  Speaker 3: Obtrusiveness is their praise. They want to be close to
• 1:31:12
  Speaker 3: thy skin and thy blood. They flatter THEE as one
• 1:31:15
  Speaker 3: flattereth a god or devil. They whimper before THEE as
• 1:31:18
  Speaker 3: before a god or devil? What doth it come to flatterers?
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 3: Are they and whimperers? And nothing more? Often? Also do
• 1:31:26
  Speaker 3: they show themselves to THEE as amiable ones. But that
• 1:31:29
  Speaker 3: hath ever been the prudence of the cowardly yea they
• 1:31:32
  Speaker 3: cowardly are wise. They think much about THEE with their
• 1:31:35
  Speaker 3: circumscribed souls. Thou art always suspected by them. Whatever is
• 1:31:39
  Speaker 3: much thought about is at last thought suspicious. They punish
• 1:31:43
  Speaker 3: THEE for all thy virtues. They pardon THEE in their
• 1:31:46
  Speaker 3: inmost hearts only for thine errors. Because thou art gentle
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 3: and of upright character, Thou sayest blameless are they for
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 3: their small existence? But their circumscribed souls think blameable is
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 3: all great existence. Even when thou art gentle towards them,
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 3: they still feel themselves despised by THEE, and they repay
• 1:32:04
  Speaker 3: Thy beneficence with secret maleficence. Thy silent pride is always
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 3: counter to their taste. They rejoice if once thou be
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 3: humble enough to be frivolous, what we recognize in a man,
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 3: we also irritate in him. Therefore, be on your guard
• 1:32:19
  Speaker 3: against the small ones. In thy presence. They feel themselves small,
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 3: and their baseness gleameth and gloweth against THEE in invisible vengeance.
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 3: Sawest thou not how often they became dumb when Thou
• 1:32:29
  Speaker 3: approachest them, and how their energy left them like the
• 1:32:33
  Speaker 3: smoke of an extinguishing fire. Yea, my friend, the bad
• 1:32:36
  Speaker 3: conscience art thou of thy neighbors, For they are unworthy
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 3: of THEE. Therefore they hate THEE, and would fain suck
• 1:32:42
  Speaker 3: thy blood. Thy neighbors will always be poisonous flies. What
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 3: is great in THEE that itself must make them more
• 1:32:48
  Speaker 3: poisonous and always more fly like flee, my friend, into
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 3: thy solitude, and thither where a rough, strong breeze bloweth.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 3: It is not thy lot to be a fly flap.
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 3: Thus spakes Zarathustra. End of Part one, Chapter twelve, Part one,
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 3: Chapter thirteen, Chastity. I love the forest. It is bad
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 3: to live in cities. There there are too many of
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 3: the lustful. Is it not better to fall into the
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 3: hands of a murderer than into the dreams of a
• 1:33:18
  Speaker 3: lustful woman? And just look at these men. Their eye
• 1:33:22
  Speaker 3: saith it they know nothing better on earth than to
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 3: lie with a woman. Filth is at the bottom of
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 3: their souls. And alas if their filth has still spirit
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 3: in it would that you were perfect at least as animals.
• 1:33:34
  Speaker 3: But to animals belongeth innocence. Do I counsel you to
• 1:33:38
  Speaker 3: slay your instincts, I counsel you to innocence. In your instincts,
• 1:33:42
  Speaker 3: do I counsel you to chastity. Chastity is a virtue
• 1:33:45
  Speaker 3: with some, but with many almost device these are continent,
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 3: to be sure, But doggish lust looketh enviously out of
• 1:33:52
  Speaker 3: all that they do, even into the heights of their virtue,
• 1:33:56
  Speaker 3: and into their cold spirit? Doth this creature follow them
• 1:33:59
  Speaker 3: with its discord? And how nicely can doggish lust beg
• 1:34:02
  Speaker 3: for a piece of spirit when a piece of flesh
• 1:34:05
  Speaker 3: is denied it? Ye love tragedies and all that breaketh
• 1:34:08
  Speaker 3: the heart. But I am distrustful of your doggish lust.
• 1:34:12
  Speaker 3: Ye have two cruel eyes, and ye look wantonly toward
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 3: the sufferers. Hath not your lust just disguised itself and
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 3: taking the name of fellow suffering? And also this parable
• 1:34:23
  Speaker 3: give I unto you. Not a few who meant to
• 1:34:25
  Speaker 3: cast out their devil went thereby into the swine themselves.
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 3: To whom chastity is difficult. It is to be dissuaded,
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 3: lest it become the road to hell, to filth and
• 1:34:35
  Speaker 3: lust of soul? Do I speak of filthy things? That
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 3: is not the worst thing for me to do not
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 3: when the truth is filthy, But when it is shallow,
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 3: doth the discerning one go unwillingly into its waters? Verily
• 1:34:48
  Speaker 3: there are chaste ones. From their very nature. They are
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 3: gentler of heart, and laugh better and oftener than you.
• 1:34:54
  Speaker 3: They laugh also at chastity, and ask what is chastity?
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 3: Is chastity not folly? But the the folly came unto us,
• 1:35:01
  Speaker 3: and not we unto it. We offered that guest harbor
• 1:35:04
  Speaker 3: and hart. Now it dwelleth within us. Let it stay
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 3: as long as it will. Thus spake Zarathustra. End of
• 1:35:12
  Speaker 3: Part one, Chapter thirteen.
• 1:35:16
  Speaker 10: Part one, Chapter fourteen. The friend one is always too
• 1:35:22
  Speaker 10: many about me, thinketh the anchor, write, always once one
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 10: that makes two in the long run. I and me
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 10: are always too earnestly in conversation. How could it be
• 1:35:36
  Speaker 10: endured if there were not a friend? The friend of
• 1:35:39
  Speaker 10: the anchor, write, is always the third one. The third
• 1:35:42
  Speaker 10: one is the cork which preventeth the conversation of the
• 1:35:45
  Speaker 10: two sinking into the depths. Ah, there are too many
• 1:35:50
  Speaker 10: depths for all anchorites. Therefore do they long so much
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 10: for a friend and for his elevation? Our faith in
• 1:35:59
  Speaker 10: others betray wherein we would fain have faith in ourselves.
• 1:36:04
  Speaker 10: Our longing for a friend is our betrayer. And often
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 10: with our love we want merely to overleap envy. And
• 1:36:13
  Speaker 10: often we attack and make ourselves enemies to conceal that
• 1:36:17
  Speaker 10: we are vulnerable, be at least mine enemy. Thus speaketh
• 1:36:24
  Speaker 10: the true reverence, which does not venture to solicit friendship.
• 1:36:29
  Speaker 10: If one would have a friend, then must one also
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 10: be willing to wage war for him. And in order
• 1:36:36
  Speaker 10: to wage war, one must be capable of being an enemy.
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 10: One ought still to honor the enemy in one's friend.
• 1:36:45
  Speaker 10: Canst thou go nigh unto thy friend and not go
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 10: over to him? In one's friend, one shall have one's
• 1:36:52
  Speaker 10: best enemy. Thou shalt be closest unto him with thy heart,
• 1:36:56
  Speaker 10: when thou withstandest him, Thou wouldst wear no raiment before
• 1:37:01
  Speaker 10: thy friend. It is in honor of thy friend that
• 1:37:05
  Speaker 10: thou ShoWest thyself to him, as thou art. But he
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 10: wishest thee to the devil. On that account, he who
• 1:37:13
  Speaker 10: maketh no secret of himself shocketh so much reason have
• 1:37:17
  Speaker 10: ye to fear nakedness?
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 9: Aye?
• 1:37:19
  Speaker 10: If ye were gods, ye could then be ashamed of clothing.
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 10: Thou canst not adorn thyself fine enough for thy friend,
• 1:37:28
  Speaker 10: For thou shalt be unto him an arrow and a
• 1:37:31
  Speaker 10: longing for the superman. Sawest thou ever thy friend asleep,
• 1:37:37
  Speaker 10: to know how he looketh? What is usually the countenance
• 1:37:41
  Speaker 10: of thy friend? It is thine own countenance in a
• 1:37:45
  Speaker 10: coarse and imperfect mirror. Sawest thou, ever thy friend asleep.
• 1:37:52
  Speaker 10: Wert thou not dismayed at thy friend looking so o?
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 10: My friend? Man is something that hath to be supposed
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 10: in divining and keeping silence? Shall the friend be a master?
• 1:38:06
  Speaker 10: Not everything must thou wish to see thy dream shall
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 10: disclose unto thee what thy friend doeth when awake. Let
• 1:38:16
  Speaker 10: thy pity be a divining to know first, if thy
• 1:38:20
  Speaker 10: friend wanteth pity, perhaps he loveth in thee the unmoved
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 10: eye and the look of eternity. Let thy pity for
• 1:38:28
  Speaker 10: thy friend be hid under a hard shell. Thou shalt
• 1:38:32
  Speaker 10: bite out a tooth upon it. Thus will it have
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 10: delicacy and sweetness. Art thou pure air and solitude and
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 10: bread and medicine to thy friend. Many a one cannot
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 10: loosen his own fetters, but is nevertheless his friend's emancipator.
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 10: Art thou a slave, then thou canst not be a friend?
• 1:38:56
  Speaker 10: Art thou a tyrant? Then thou canst not have friends?
• 1:39:02
  Speaker 10: For too long has there been a slave and a
• 1:39:05
  Speaker 10: tyrant concealed in woman? On that account, woman is not
• 1:39:09
  Speaker 10: yet capable of friendship. She knoweth only love. In woman's
• 1:39:14
  Speaker 10: love there is injustice and blindness to all she does
• 1:39:18
  Speaker 10: not love. And even in woman's conscious love there is
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 10: still always surprise and lightning at night along with the light.
• 1:39:28
  Speaker 10: As yet, woman is not capable of friendship. Women are
• 1:39:32
  Speaker 10: still cats and birds, or at the best cows. As
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 10: yet woman is not capable of friendship. But tell me,
• 1:39:41
  Speaker 10: ye men, who, if you are capable of friendship, owe
• 1:39:46
  Speaker 10: your poverty, ye men, and your sordidness of soul. As
• 1:39:50
  Speaker 10: much as ye give to your friend, will I give
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 10: even to my foe? And will not have become poorer?
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 10: Thereby there is comradeship. May they be friendship? Thus Spague Zarathustra.
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 10: End of Chapter fourteen, The friend.
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 4: Part one, Chapter fifteen, The thousand and one Goals. Many
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 4: lands saw Zarathustra and many peoples. Thus he discovered the
• 1:40:27
  Speaker 4: good and bad of many peoples. No greater power did
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 4: Zarathustra find on earth than good and bad. No people
• 1:40:36
  Speaker 4: could live without first valuing. If a people will maintain itself, however,
• 1:40:40
  Speaker 4: it must not value as its neighbor valueth. Much that
• 1:40:44
  Speaker 4: passed for good with one people was regarded with scorn
• 1:40:47
  Speaker 4: and contempt by another. Thus I found it much found
• 1:40:51
  Speaker 4: I hear called bad, which was there decked with purple honors.
• 1:40:55
  Speaker 4: Never did the one neighbor understand the other. Ever did
• 1:40:58
  Speaker 4: his sole marvel at his neighbor's illusion and wickedness. A
• 1:41:02
  Speaker 4: table of excellencies hangeth over every people.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 7: Lo.
• 1:41:05
  Speaker 4: It is the table of their triumphs lo. It is
• 1:41:08
  Speaker 4: the voice of their will to power. It is laudable
• 1:41:12
  Speaker 4: what they think hard, what is indispensable and hard they
• 1:41:15
  Speaker 4: call good, And what relieveth in the direst distress, the
• 1:41:19
  Speaker 4: unique and hardest of all they extol as holy, whatever
• 1:41:24
  Speaker 4: maketh them rule and conquer and shine. To the dismay
• 1:41:28
  Speaker 4: and envy of their neighbors, they regard as the high
• 1:41:31
  Speaker 4: and foremost thing, the test and the meaning of all else. Faverily,
• 1:41:36
  Speaker 4: my brother, if thou knewest but a people's need, its land,
• 1:41:39
  Speaker 4: its sky, and its neighbor. Then wouldst thou divine the
• 1:41:43
  Speaker 4: law of its surmountings, and wyat climmeth up that ladder
• 1:41:47
  Speaker 4: to its hope. Always shalt thou be the foremost and
• 1:41:51
  Speaker 4: prominent above others. No one shall thy jealous soul love,
• 1:41:56
  Speaker 4: except a friend that made the soul of a Greek thrill.
• 1:42:00
  Speaker 4: Thereby went he his way to greatness, to speak truth
• 1:42:04
  Speaker 4: and be skillful with bow and arrow. So seemed it
• 1:42:07
  Speaker 4: alike pleasing and hard to the people from whom cometh
• 1:42:10
  Speaker 4: my name, the name which is alike pleasing and hard
• 1:42:12
  Speaker 4: to me. To honor father and mother, and from the
• 1:42:16
  Speaker 4: root of the soul, to do their will. This table
• 1:42:19
  Speaker 4: of surmounting hung another people over them, and became powerful
• 1:42:22
  Speaker 4: and permanent, thereby to have fidelity, and for the sake
• 1:42:26
  Speaker 4: of fidelity, to risk honor and blood, even in evil
• 1:42:29
  Speaker 4: and dangerous courses, teaching itself, so another people mastered itself,
• 1:42:34
  Speaker 4: and thus mastering itself, became pregnant and heavy with great hopes.
• 1:42:39
  Speaker 4: Verily men have given unto themselves all their good and bad.
• 1:42:44
  Speaker 4: Verily they took it not, they found it not. It
• 1:42:47
  Speaker 4: came not unto them, as a voice from heaven. Values
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 4: did man only assign to things in order to maintain himself.
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 4: He created only the significance of things, a human significance.
• 1:43:00
  Speaker 4: Therefore callth he himself man, that is the valuator. Valuing
• 1:43:06
  Speaker 4: is creating. Hear it you creating ones? Valuation itself is
• 1:43:11
  Speaker 4: the treasure and jewel of the valued things. Through valuation
• 1:43:19
  Speaker 4: only is their value. And without valuation, the nut of
• 1:43:23
  Speaker 4: existence would be hollow. Hear it you creating ones? Change
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 4: of values, that is, change of the creating ones? Always
• 1:43:32
  Speaker 4: doth he destroy? Who hath to be a creator? Creating
• 1:43:36
  Speaker 4: ones were first of all peoples, and only in late
• 1:43:39
  Speaker 4: times individuals. Verily, the individual himself is still the latest creation.
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 4: Peoples once hung over them, tables of the good, love
• 1:43:49
  Speaker 4: which would rule, and love which would obey, created for
• 1:43:52
  Speaker 4: themselves such tables. Older is the pleasure in the herd
• 1:43:56
  Speaker 4: than the pleasure in the ego, And as long as
• 1:43:58
  Speaker 4: the good conscience is for the herd, the bad conscience
• 1:44:01
  Speaker 4: only saith ego. Verily, the crafty ego, the loveless one
• 1:44:06
  Speaker 4: that seeketh its advantage in the advantage of many. It
• 1:44:09
  Speaker 4: is not the origin of the herd, but its ruin
• 1:44:12
  Speaker 4: loving ones. Was it always and creating ones that created
• 1:44:16
  Speaker 4: good and bad. Fire of love bloweth in the names
• 1:44:19
  Speaker 4: of all the virtues, and fire of wrath many lands
• 1:44:23
  Speaker 4: saw Zarathustra and many peoples. No greater power did Zarathustra
• 1:44:28
  Speaker 4: find on earth than the creations of the loving ones
• 1:44:32
  Speaker 4: good and bad? Are they called verily a prodigy? Is
• 1:44:36
  Speaker 4: this power of praising and blaming? Tell me, you, brethren,
• 1:44:40
  Speaker 4: who will master it?
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 8: For me?
• 1:44:41
  Speaker 4: Who will put a fetter on the thousand necks of
• 1:44:44
  Speaker 4: this animal? A thousand goals have there been hitherto for
• 1:44:47
  Speaker 4: a thousand peoples have there been? Only the fetter for
• 1:44:51
  Speaker 4: the thousand necks is still lacking? There is lacking the
• 1:44:54
  Speaker 4: one goal. As yet humanity hath not a goal. But pray,
• 1:44:58
  Speaker 4: tell me, my brethren, if the goal all of humanity
• 1:45:00
  Speaker 4: be still lacking, is there not also still lacking humanity itself?
• 1:45:06
  Speaker 4: Thus spake Zarathustra and of Part one, Chapter fifteen.
• 1:45:16
  Speaker 1: Part one, Chapter sixteen. Neighbor love, Ye crowd around your
• 1:45:23
  Speaker 1: neighbor and have fine words for it. But I say,
• 1:45:27
  Speaker 1: unto you your neighbor love is your bad. Love of yourselves.
• 1:45:32
  Speaker 1: Ye flee unto your neighbor from yourselves, and would fain
• 1:45:35
  Speaker 1: make a virtue thereof. But I fathom your unselfishness, that
• 1:45:42
  Speaker 1: thou is older than the eye, that thou hast been consecrated,
• 1:45:47
  Speaker 1: but not yet the eye. So man presseth nigh unto
• 1:45:51
  Speaker 1: his neighbor. Do I advise you to neighbor love? Rather,
• 1:45:55
  Speaker 1: do I advise you to neighbor flight and to furthest.
• 1:45:58
  Speaker 1: Love higher than love to your neighbor is love to
• 1:46:02
  Speaker 1: the furthest and future ones. Higher still than love to
• 1:46:06
  Speaker 1: men is love to things and phantoms. The phantom that
• 1:46:11
  Speaker 1: runneth on before thee my brother, is fairer than thou.
• 1:46:15
  Speaker 1: Why dost thou not give unto it thy flesh and
• 1:46:18
  Speaker 1: thy bones, But thou fearest and runnest unto thy neighbor.
• 1:46:24
  Speaker 1: Ye cannot endure it with yourselves, and do not love
• 1:46:27
  Speaker 1: yourselves sufficiently. So ye seek to mislead your neighbor into love,
• 1:46:32
  Speaker 1: And would fain guild yourselves with his error?
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 7: Would that ye.
• 1:46:37
  Speaker 1: Could not endure it with any kind of near ones
• 1:46:40
  Speaker 1: or their neighbors, Then would ye have to create your
• 1:46:44
  Speaker 1: friend in his overflowing heart out of yourselves. Ye call
• 1:46:49
  Speaker 1: in a witness when ye want to speak well of yourselves,
• 1:46:53
  Speaker 1: and when ye have misled him to think well of you,
• 1:46:56
  Speaker 1: ye also think well of yourselves. Not only doth he
• 1:47:00
  Speaker 1: lie who speaketh contrary to his knowledge, but more so
• 1:47:05
  Speaker 1: he who speaketh contrary to his ignorance. And thus speak
• 1:47:10
  Speaker 1: ye of yourselves in your intercourse, and belie your neighbor
• 1:47:14
  Speaker 1: with yourselves. Thus saith the fool. Association with men spoilt
• 1:47:19
  Speaker 1: the character, especially when one hath none. The one goeth
• 1:47:24
  Speaker 1: to his neighbor because he seeketh himself, and the other
• 1:47:29
  Speaker 1: because he would fain lose himself. Your bad love to
• 1:47:32
  Speaker 1: yourselves maketh solitude a prison to you. The furthest ones
• 1:47:39
  Speaker 1: are they who pay for your love to the near ones.
• 1:47:43
  Speaker 1: And when there are but five of you together, a
• 1:47:46
  Speaker 1: sixth must always die. I do not love your festivals either.
• 1:47:51
  Speaker 1: Too many actors found I there, and even the spectators
• 1:47:55
  Speaker 1: often behaved like actors. Not the neighbor do I teach you,
• 1:48:01
  Speaker 1: but the friend. Let the friend be the festival of
• 1:48:04
  Speaker 1: the earth to you, and a foretaste of the superman.
• 1:48:08
  Speaker 1: I teach you the friend and his overflowing heart. But
• 1:48:11
  Speaker 1: one must know how to be a sponge, if one
• 1:48:14
  Speaker 1: would be loved by overflowing hearts. I teach you the
• 1:48:18
  Speaker 1: friend in whom the world standeth complete, a capsule of
• 1:48:21
  Speaker 1: the good, the creating friend, who hath always a complete
• 1:48:26
  Speaker 1: world to bestow. And as the world unrolled itself for him,
• 1:48:31
  Speaker 1: so rolleth it together again for him in rings, as
• 1:48:35
  Speaker 1: the growth of good through evil, as the growth of
• 1:48:38
  Speaker 1: purpose out of chance. Let the future and the furthest
• 1:48:44
  Speaker 1: be the motive of thy day. In thy friend, thou
• 1:48:47
  Speaker 1: shalt love the Superman as thy motive. My brethren, I
• 1:48:52
  Speaker 1: advise you not to neighbor love. I advise you to
• 1:48:56
  Speaker 1: furthest love. Thus spake Zarathustra end Part one, Chapter sixteen,
• 1:49:07
  Speaker 1: Part one, Chapter seventeen, the way of the creating One,
• 1:49:15
  Speaker 1: wouldst thou go into isolation? My brother? Wouldst thou seek
• 1:49:19
  Speaker 1: the way unto thyself, Tarry yet a little, and hearken
• 1:49:24
  Speaker 1: unto me, He who seeketh may easily get lost himself.
• 1:49:30
  Speaker 1: All isolation is wrong, so say the herd, And long
• 1:49:34
  Speaker 1: didst thou belong to the herd? The voice of the
• 1:49:38
  Speaker 1: herd will still echo in thee. And when thou sayest
• 1:49:42
  Speaker 1: I have no longer a conscience in common with you,
• 1:49:45
  Speaker 1: then will it be a plaint and a pain lo
• 1:49:49
  Speaker 1: that pain itself did the same conscience produce, and the
• 1:49:53
  Speaker 1: last gleam of that conscience still gloweth on thine affliction.
• 1:49:59
  Speaker 1: But thou wouldst the way of thine affliction, which is
• 1:50:02
  Speaker 1: the way unto thyself. Then show me thine authority and
• 1:50:06
  Speaker 1: thy strength to do so? Art thou a new strength
• 1:50:10
  Speaker 1: and a new authority, a first motion, a self rolling wheel,
• 1:50:16
  Speaker 1: canst thou also compel stars to revolve around thee? Alas
• 1:50:21
  Speaker 1: there is so much lusting for loftiness, there are so
• 1:50:25
  Speaker 1: many convolutions of the ambitions. Show me that thou art
• 1:50:29
  Speaker 1: not a lusting and ambitious one. Alas there are so
• 1:50:33
  Speaker 1: many great thoughts that do nothing more than the bellows
• 1:50:37
  Speaker 1: they inflate and make emptier than ever. Free, dost thou
• 1:50:42
  Speaker 1: call thyself thy ruling thought? What I hear of, and
• 1:50:46
  Speaker 1: not that thou hast escaped from a yoke? Art thou
• 1:50:50
  Speaker 1: one entitled to escape from a yoke? Many a one
• 1:50:54
  Speaker 1: hath cast away as final worth, when he hath cast
• 1:50:56
  Speaker 1: away his servitude free from what? What doth that matter
• 1:51:01
  Speaker 1: to Zarathustra? Clearly, however, shall thine eye show unto me? Free?
• 1:51:08
  Speaker 6: For what.
• 1:51:10
  Speaker 1: Canst thou give unto thyself thy bad and thy good,
• 1:51:14
  Speaker 1: and set up thy will as a law over thee.
• 1:51:18
  Speaker 1: Canst thou be judged for thyself and avenger of thy law.
• 1:51:23
  Speaker 1: Terrible is a loneness with the judge and avenger of
• 1:51:26
  Speaker 1: one's own law. Thus is a star projected into desert
• 1:51:31
  Speaker 1: space and into the icy breath of a loneness. Today,
• 1:51:37
  Speaker 1: sufferest thou from the multitude, thou individual. Today, hast thou
• 1:51:42
  Speaker 1: still thy courage unabated and thy hopes. But one day
• 1:51:47
  Speaker 1: will the solitude weary thee? One day will thy pride yield,
• 1:51:51
  Speaker 1: and thy courage quail. Thou wilt one day cry I
• 1:51:55
  Speaker 1: am alone. One day wilt thou see no longer thy law,
• 1:52:01
  Speaker 1: and see too closely thy lowliness, thy sublimity itself will
• 1:52:06
  Speaker 1: frighten thee as a phantom. Thou wilt one day cry
• 1:52:10
  Speaker 1: all is false. There are feelings which seek to slay
• 1:52:14
  Speaker 1: the lonesome one. If they do not succeed, then must
• 1:52:19
  Speaker 1: they themselves die? But art thou capable of it to
• 1:52:24
  Speaker 1: be a murderer? Hast thou ever known, my brother the
• 1:52:28
  Speaker 1: word disdain and the anguish of thy justice? In being
• 1:52:32
  Speaker 1: just to those that disdain thee. Thou forcest many to
• 1:52:36
  Speaker 1: think differently about THEE that charge they heavily to thine account.
• 1:52:42
  Speaker 1: Thou camest nigh unto them, and yet whentest past for
• 1:52:47
  Speaker 1: that they never forgive THEE. Thou goest beyond them. But
• 1:52:52
  Speaker 1: the higher thou risest, the smaller doth the eye of
• 1:52:56
  Speaker 1: envy see THEE. Most of all, however, is the flying
• 1:53:01
  Speaker 1: one hated? How could ye be just unto me? Must
• 1:53:05
  Speaker 1: thou say, I choose your injustice as my allotted portion? Injustice?
• 1:53:11
  Speaker 1: And filth cast they at the lonesome one, But my brother,
• 1:53:17
  Speaker 1: if thou wouldst be a star, thou must shine for
• 1:53:19
  Speaker 1: them none the less on that account, and be on
• 1:53:23
  Speaker 1: thy guard against thy good and just they would fain
• 1:53:27
  Speaker 1: crucify those who devise their own virtue. They hate the
• 1:53:31
  Speaker 1: lonesome ones. Be on thy guard also against holy simplicity.
• 1:53:37
  Speaker 1: All is unholy to it that is not simple, fain
• 1:53:41
  Speaker 1: likewise would it play with the fire of the faggot
• 1:53:45
  Speaker 1: and stake, And be on thy guard also against the
• 1:53:49
  Speaker 1: assaults of thy love. To readily doth the recluse reach
• 1:53:53
  Speaker 1: his hand to anyone who meeteth him. To many a
• 1:53:57
  Speaker 1: one mayst thou not give thy hand, but only thy paw.
• 1:54:01
  Speaker 1: And I wish thy paw also to have clause. But
• 1:54:05
  Speaker 1: the worst enemy thou canst meet, wilt thou thyself always
• 1:54:09
  Speaker 1: be thou waylayest thyself in caverns and forests, Thou lonesome one,
• 1:54:16
  Speaker 1: Thou ghost the way to thyself, and pass thyself, and
• 1:54:20
  Speaker 1: thy seven devils leadeth thy way. A heretic wilt thou
• 1:54:25
  Speaker 1: be to thyself, and a wizard, and a soothsayer, and
• 1:54:28
  Speaker 1: a fool, and a doubter, and a reprobate and a villain.
• 1:54:33
  Speaker 1: Ready must thou be to burn thyself in thine own flame?
• 1:54:37
  Speaker 1: How couldst thou become new if thou have not first
• 1:54:40
  Speaker 1: become ashes? Thou lonesome one, Thou goest the way of
• 1:54:45
  Speaker 1: the creating One. A god wilt thou create for thyself
• 1:54:49
  Speaker 1: out of thy seven devils, Thou lonesome one, Thou ghost
• 1:54:54
  Speaker 1: the way of the loving One. Thou lovest thyself, and
• 1:54:58
  Speaker 1: on that account despises thou thyself, as only the loving
• 1:55:03
  Speaker 1: ones despise to create. Desireth the loving one. Because he
• 1:55:08
  Speaker 1: despiseth what knoweth he of love? Who hath not been
• 1:55:12
  Speaker 1: obliged to despise just what he loved. With thy love,
• 1:55:17
  Speaker 1: go into thine isolation, my brother, And with thy creating
• 1:55:22
  Speaker 1: and late only will justice limp after THEE. With my tears,
• 1:55:27
  Speaker 1: go into thine isolation, My brother. I love him who
• 1:55:30
  Speaker 1: seeketh to create beyond himself, and thus succumbeth. Thus spake Zarathustra.
• 1:55:41
  Speaker 1: End of Part one, Chapter seventeen, Part one, Chapter eighteen,
• 1:55:47
  Speaker 1: Old and young women, Why stealest thou along so furtively
• 1:55:53
  Speaker 1: in the twilight, Zarathustra, And what hidest thou so carefully
• 1:55:58
  Speaker 1: under thy mantle? Is it a treasure that hath been
• 1:56:02
  Speaker 1: given THEE? Or a child that hath been born Thee?
• 1:56:07
  Speaker 1: Or goest thou thyself on a thieve's errand thou friend
• 1:56:10
  Speaker 1: of evil? Verily, my brother said, Zarathustra, it is a
• 1:56:17
  Speaker 1: treasure that hath been given me. It is a little
• 1:56:20
  Speaker 1: truth which I carry. But it is naughty, like a
• 1:56:25
  Speaker 1: young child, and if I hold not its mouth, it
• 1:56:29
  Speaker 1: screameth too loudly. As I went on my way alone today,
• 1:56:35
  Speaker 1: at the hour when the sun declineth, there met me
• 1:56:38
  Speaker 1: an old woman, and she spake thus unto my soul
• 1:56:43
  Speaker 1: much hath Zarathustras spoken also to us women, but never
• 1:56:47
  Speaker 1: spake he unto us concerning women. And I answered her,
• 1:56:53
  Speaker 1: concerning woman, one should only talk unto men. Talk also
• 1:56:58
  Speaker 1: unto me of woman, said she, I am old enough
• 1:57:02
  Speaker 1: to forget it presently. And I oblige the old woman
• 1:57:06
  Speaker 1: and spake thus unto her. Everything in woman is a riddle.
• 1:57:11
  Speaker 1: Everything in woman hath one solution. It is called pregnancy.
• 1:57:17
  Speaker 1: Man is for woman a means the purpose is always
• 1:57:20
  Speaker 1: the child? But what is woman for man? Two different things?
• 1:57:25
  Speaker 1: Wanteth the true man danger and diversion. Therefore wanteth he
• 1:57:31
  Speaker 1: woman as the most dangerous plaything. Man shall be trained
• 1:57:36
  Speaker 1: for war, and woman for the recreation of the warrior.
• 1:57:41
  Speaker 1: All else is folly, two sweet fruits. These the warrior
• 1:57:46
  Speaker 1: liketh not. Therefore liketh he woman. Bitter is even the
• 1:57:53
  Speaker 1: sweetest woman better than man. Doth woman understand children? But
• 1:57:59
  Speaker 1: man is more childish than woman. In the true man
• 1:58:04
  Speaker 1: there is a child hidden it. Wanteth to play up, then, ye, women,
• 1:58:09
  Speaker 1: and discover the child, and man a plaything. Let woman
• 1:58:13
  Speaker 1: be pure and fine, like the precious stone, illuminated with
• 1:58:19
  Speaker 1: the virtues of a world not yet to come. Let
• 1:58:22
  Speaker 1: the beam of a star shine in your love. Let
• 1:58:26
  Speaker 1: your hope. Say, may I bear the superman in your love.
• 1:58:30
  Speaker 1: Let there be valor with your love. Shall ye assail
• 1:58:34
  Speaker 1: him who inspireth you with fear in your love? Be
• 1:58:38
  Speaker 1: your honor. Little doth woman understand otherwise about honor, But
• 1:58:43
  Speaker 1: let this be your honor. Always to love more than
• 1:58:46
  Speaker 1: ye are loved, and never be the second. Let man
• 1:58:51
  Speaker 1: fear woman when she loveth, then maketh she every sacrifice,
• 1:58:56
  Speaker 1: and everything else she regardeth as worthless. Let man fear
• 1:59:01
  Speaker 1: woman when she hateth. For man in his innermost soul
• 1:59:05
  Speaker 1: is merely evil. Woman, however, is mean whom hateth woman most.
• 1:59:14
  Speaker 1: Thus spake the iron to the lodestone. I hate thee most,
• 1:59:18
  Speaker 1: because thou attractest, but art too weak to draw unto thee.
• 1:59:24
  Speaker 1: The happiness of man is I will. The happiness of
• 1:59:28
  Speaker 1: woman is he will lo now hath the world become perfect.
• 1:59:35
  Speaker 1: Thus thinketh every woman, when she obeyeth with all her love.
• 1:59:40
  Speaker 1: Obey must the woman and find a depth for her surface.
• 1:59:45
  Speaker 1: Surface is woman's soul a mobile, stormy film on shallow water.
• 1:59:53
  Speaker 1: Man's soul, however, is deep. Its current gusheth in subterranean caverns.
• 2:00:00
  Speaker 1: Woman surmiseth its force, But comprehendeth it not, then answered me,
• 2:00:07
  Speaker 1: the old woman. Many fine things hath Zarathustra said, especially
• 2:00:13
  Speaker 1: for those who are young enough for them. Strange Zarathustra
• 2:00:19
  Speaker 1: know little about women, and yet he is right about them.
• 2:00:23
  Speaker 1: Doth this happen because with women nothing is impossible? And
• 2:00:28
  Speaker 1: now accept a little truth by way of thanks. I
• 2:00:32
  Speaker 1: am old enough for it. Swaddle it up and hold
• 2:00:36
  Speaker 1: its mouth, otherwise it will scream too loudly the little truth.
• 2:00:43
  Speaker 1: Give me woman, thy little truth, said I, And thus
• 2:00:48
  Speaker 1: spake the old woman. Thou goest to women, do not
• 2:00:54
  Speaker 1: forget thy whip, Thus spake Zarathustra. And of Part one,
• 2:01:06
  Speaker 1: chapter eighteen.
• 2:01:08
  Speaker 6: Part one, chapter nineteen, The Bite of the Adder. One
• 2:01:15
  Speaker 6: day had Zarathustra fallen asleep under a fig tree, owing
• 2:01:20
  Speaker 6: to the heat, with his arms over his face. And
• 2:01:24
  Speaker 6: there came an adder and bit him in the neck,
• 2:01:27
  Speaker 6: so that Zarathustra screamed with pain. When he had taken
• 2:01:32
  Speaker 6: his arm from his face, he looked at the serpent,
• 2:01:35
  Speaker 6: and then did it recognize the eyes of Zarathustra. Wriggled
• 2:01:40
  Speaker 6: awkwardly and tried to get away. Not at all, said Zarathustra,
• 2:01:47
  Speaker 6: as yet hast thou not received my thanks, Thou hast
• 2:01:51
  Speaker 6: awakened me in time. My journey is yet long. Thy
• 2:01:57
  Speaker 6: journey is short, said the adder, Sadly, my poison is fatal.
• 2:02:02
  Speaker 6: Zarathustra smiled. When did ever a dragon die of a
• 2:02:07
  Speaker 6: serpent's poison? Said he, But take thy poison back? Thou
• 2:02:12
  Speaker 6: art not rich enough to present it to me. Then
• 2:02:16
  Speaker 6: fell the adder again on his neck and licked his wound.
• 2:02:21
  Speaker 6: When Zarathustra once told this to his disciples, they asked him,
• 2:02:26
  Speaker 6: and what, o, Zarathustra, is the moral of thy story?
• 2:02:31
  Speaker 6: And Zarathustra answered them, thus, the destroyer of morality the good?
• 2:02:38
  Speaker 6: And just call me my story is immoral. When however
• 2:02:45
  Speaker 6: ye have an enemy, then return him, not good for evil,
• 2:02:50
  Speaker 6: for that would abash him, but prove that he hath
• 2:02:53
  Speaker 6: done something good to you, And rather be angry than
• 2:02:58
  Speaker 6: abash any one. And when ye are cursed, it pleaseth
• 2:03:03
  Speaker 6: me not that ye should then desire to bless, rather
• 2:03:08
  Speaker 6: curse a little also, And should a great injustice before you,
• 2:03:14
  Speaker 6: then do quickly five small ones. Besides hideous to behold
• 2:03:20
  Speaker 6: is he on whom injustice presseth alone? Did ye ever
• 2:03:25
  Speaker 6: know this? Shared injustice is half justice, and he who
• 2:03:30
  Speaker 6: can bear it shall take thee injustice upon himself. A
• 2:03:34
  Speaker 6: small revenge is humaner than no revenge at all. And
• 2:03:39
  Speaker 6: if the punishment be not also a right and an
• 2:03:42
  Speaker 6: honor to the transgressor. I do not like your punishing nobler.
• 2:03:49
  Speaker 6: Is it to own oneself in the wrong than to
• 2:03:52
  Speaker 6: establish one's right, Especially if one be in the right,
• 2:03:57
  Speaker 6: only one must be rich enough to do so. I
• 2:04:01
  Speaker 6: do not like your cold justice. Out of the eye
• 2:04:05
  Speaker 6: of your judges there always glanceth the executioner and his
• 2:04:10
  Speaker 6: cold steel. Tell me where find we justice, which is
• 2:04:16
  Speaker 6: love with seeing eyes. Devise me, then, the love which
• 2:04:21
  Speaker 6: not only beareth all punishment, but also all guilt. Devise me,
• 2:04:26
  Speaker 6: then the justice which acquitteth every one except the judge.
• 2:04:31
  Speaker 6: And would ye hear this likewise to him who seeketh
• 2:04:35
  Speaker 6: to be just from the heart, even the lie becometh philanthropy.
• 2:04:41
  Speaker 6: But how could I be just from the heart? How
• 2:04:44
  Speaker 6: can I give every one his own? Let this be
• 2:04:48
  Speaker 6: enough for me, I give unto every one mine own. Finally,
• 2:04:54
  Speaker 6: my brethren guard against doing wrong to any anchorite. How
• 2:05:00
  Speaker 6: could an anchorite forget? How could he requite like a
• 2:05:06
  Speaker 6: deep well is an anchorite? Easy is it to throw
• 2:05:11
  Speaker 6: in a stone? If it should sink to the bottom, however,
• 2:05:15
  Speaker 6: tell me who will bring it out again? God against
• 2:05:19
  Speaker 6: injuring the anchorite. If ye have done so, however, well
• 2:05:24
  Speaker 6: then kill him also. Thus spake Zarathustra. End of Part one,
• 2:05:31
  Speaker 6: Chapter nineteen, Part.
• 2:05:33
  Speaker 4: One, Section twenty, Child and Marriage. I have a question
• 2:05:39
  Speaker 4: for THEE alone, my brother, like a sounding lead, cast
• 2:05:42
  Speaker 4: I this question into thy soul, that I may know
• 2:05:45
  Speaker 4: its depth. Thou art young and desirous child and marriage.
• 2:05:50
  Speaker 4: But I ask THEE. Art thou a man entitled to
• 2:05:54
  Speaker 4: desire a child? Art thou the victorious one, the self conqueror,
• 2:05:59
  Speaker 4: the ruler of thy passion, the master of thy virtues?
• 2:06:03
  Speaker 4: Thus do I ask THEE? Or doth the animals speak
• 2:06:06
  Speaker 4: in thy wish and necessity or isolation or discord?
• 2:06:10
  Speaker 8: In THEE?
• 2:06:11
  Speaker 4: I would have thy victory and freedom long for a child,
• 2:06:15
  Speaker 4: living monuments. Shalt thou build to thy victory and emancipation.
• 2:06:20
  Speaker 4: Beyond thyself, shalt thou build, But first of all, must
• 2:06:24
  Speaker 4: thou be built thyself rectangular in body and soul. Not
• 2:06:29
  Speaker 4: only onward. Shalt thou propagate thyself but upward. For that purpose,
• 2:06:33
  Speaker 4: May the garden of marriage help thee a higher body.
• 2:06:36
  Speaker 4: Shalt thou create a first movement, a spontaneously rolling wheel,
• 2:06:41
  Speaker 4: a creating one. Shalt thou create marriage? So call I
• 2:06:46
  Speaker 4: the will of the Twain to create the one that
• 2:06:49
  Speaker 4: is more than those who created it, the reverence for
• 2:06:52
  Speaker 4: one another, as those exercising such a will call thy marriage.
• 2:06:57
  Speaker 4: Let this be the significance and truth of thy marriage.
• 2:07:00
  Speaker 4: But that which the many, too many call marriage, those
• 2:07:03
  Speaker 4: superfluous ones Ah, what shall I call it ah? The
• 2:07:07
  Speaker 4: poverty of soul in the Twain Ah, the filth of
• 2:07:10
  Speaker 4: soul in the Twain Ah, the pitiable self complacency in
• 2:07:14
  Speaker 4: the Twain marriage they call it all. And they say
• 2:07:17
  Speaker 4: their marriages are made in heaven. Well, I do not
• 2:07:20
  Speaker 4: like it, that heaven of the superfluous. No, I do
• 2:07:23
  Speaker 4: not like them, those animals tangled in the heavenly toils
• 2:07:28
  Speaker 4: far from me. Also be the God who limpeth thither
• 2:07:30
  Speaker 4: to bless what he hath not matched laugh not at
• 2:07:33
  Speaker 4: such marriages? What child hath not had reason to weep
• 2:07:36
  Speaker 4: over its parents? Worthy? Did this man seem and rite
• 2:07:39
  Speaker 4: for the meaning of the earth. But when I saw
• 2:07:41
  Speaker 4: his wife. The earth seemed to me a home for madcaps. Yea,
• 2:07:45
  Speaker 4: I would that the earth shook with convulsions when a
• 2:07:48
  Speaker 4: saint and a goose mate with one another. This one
• 2:07:51
  Speaker 4: went forth in quest of truth as a hero, and
• 2:07:54
  Speaker 4: at last got himself a small decked up lie. His marriage.
• 2:07:58
  Speaker 4: He calleth it that one was reserved in intercourse, and
• 2:08:01
  Speaker 4: chose choicely. But one time he spoilt his company. For
• 2:08:05
  Speaker 4: all time his marriage, he calleth it another sought a
• 2:08:09
  Speaker 4: handmaid with the virtues of an angel. But all at
• 2:08:12
  Speaker 4: once he became a handmaide of a woman. And now
• 2:08:15
  Speaker 4: would he need also to become an angel? Careful have
• 2:08:18
  Speaker 4: I found all buyers, and all of them have astute eyes.
• 2:08:22
  Speaker 4: But even the astuteth of them buyeth his wife in
• 2:08:25
  Speaker 4: a sack. Many short follies, that is called love by you,
• 2:08:30
  Speaker 4: and your marriage puteth an end to many short follies
• 2:08:33
  Speaker 4: with one long stupidity, your love to woman and woman's
• 2:08:37
  Speaker 4: love to man. Ah would that it were sympathy for
• 2:08:39
  Speaker 4: suffering and veiled deities. But generally two animals alight on
• 2:08:43
  Speaker 4: one another. But even your best love is only an
• 2:08:47
  Speaker 4: enraptured simile and a painful ardor it is a torch
• 2:08:50
  Speaker 4: to light you to loftier paths beyond yourselves. Shall you
• 2:08:54
  Speaker 4: love some day? Then learn first of all to love.
• 2:08:58
  Speaker 4: And on that account he had to drink the bitter
• 2:09:00
  Speaker 4: cup of your love. Bitterness is in the cup even
• 2:09:02
  Speaker 4: of the best love. Thus doth it cause longing for
• 2:09:05
  Speaker 4: the superman? Thus doth it cause thirst in thee the
• 2:09:09
  Speaker 4: creating one, thirst in the creating one arrow and longing
• 2:09:13
  Speaker 4: for the superman? Tell me, my brother, is this thy
• 2:09:16
  Speaker 4: will to marriage? Holy? Call I such a will and
• 2:09:19
  Speaker 4: such a marriage? Thus spake Zarathustra. End of Part one,
• 2:09:24
  Speaker 4: Chapter twenty.
• 2:09:30
  Speaker 6: Part one, Chapter twenty one. Voluntary death. Many die too late,
• 2:09:39
  Speaker 6: and some die too early. Yet strange soundeth the precept.
• 2:09:45
  Speaker 6: Die at the right time, die at the right time.
• 2:09:50
  Speaker 6: So teacheth Zarathustra. To be sure, he who never liveth
• 2:09:56
  Speaker 6: at the right time. How could he ever die at
• 2:09:59
  Speaker 6: the righte time? Would that he might never be born?
• 2:10:04
  Speaker 6: Thus do I advise the superfluous ones. But even the
• 2:10:09
  Speaker 6: superfluous ones make much ado about their death, and even
• 2:10:13
  Speaker 6: the hollowest nut wanteth to be cracked. Every One regardeth
• 2:10:19
  Speaker 6: dying as a great matter. But as yet death is
• 2:10:23
  Speaker 6: not a festival. Not yet have people learned to inaugurate
• 2:10:27
  Speaker 6: the finest festivals. The consummating death I show unto you,
• 2:10:33
  Speaker 6: which becometh a stimulus and promise to the living. His
• 2:10:38
  Speaker 6: death dieth the consummating one triumphantly surrounded by hoping and
• 2:10:44
  Speaker 6: promising ones. Thus should one learn to die, and there
• 2:10:49
  Speaker 6: should be no festival at which such a dying one
• 2:10:53
  Speaker 6: doth not consecrate the oaths of the living. Thus to
• 2:10:58
  Speaker 6: die is best. The next ex best, however, is to
• 2:11:01
  Speaker 6: die in battle and sacrifice a great soul. But to
• 2:11:06
  Speaker 6: the fighter equally hateful as to the victor, is your
• 2:11:10
  Speaker 6: grinning death, which stealeth nigh like a thief, and yet
• 2:11:15
  Speaker 6: cometh as master my death, prays I unto you, the
• 2:11:21
  Speaker 6: voluntary death, which cometh unto me, because I want it,
• 2:11:27
  Speaker 6: And when shall I want it? He that hath a
• 2:11:30
  Speaker 6: goal and an heir, wanteth death at the right time
• 2:11:34
  Speaker 6: for the goal and the heir. And out of reverence
• 2:11:38
  Speaker 6: for the goal and the heir, he will hang up
• 2:11:42
  Speaker 6: no more withered wreaths in the sanctuary of life. Verily,
• 2:11:47
  Speaker 6: not the rope makers will I resemble. They lengthen out
• 2:11:50
  Speaker 6: their cord, and thereby go ever backward. Many a one
• 2:11:55
  Speaker 6: also waxeth too old for his truths and triumphs. A
• 2:12:00
  Speaker 6: toothless mouth hath no longer the right to every truth.
• 2:12:05
  Speaker 6: And whoever wanteth to have fame must take leave of
• 2:12:09
  Speaker 6: honor betimes and practice the difficult art of going at
• 2:12:13
  Speaker 6: the right time. One must discontinue being feasted upon when
• 2:12:19
  Speaker 6: one tasteth best. That is known by those who want
• 2:12:23
  Speaker 6: to be long loved. Sour apples are there no doubt
• 2:12:27
  Speaker 6: whose lot is to wait until the last day of autumn,
• 2:12:32
  Speaker 6: and at the same time they become ripe, yellow, and shriveled.
• 2:12:38
  Speaker 6: In some ageth the heart first, and in others the spirit,
• 2:12:43
  Speaker 6: and some are hoary in youth. But the late young
• 2:12:47
  Speaker 6: keep long young. To many men, life is a failure.
• 2:12:52
  Speaker 6: A poison worm gnaweth at their heart. Then let them
• 2:12:57
  Speaker 6: see to it that their dying is all the more
• 2:13:00
  Speaker 6: or a success. Many never become sweet. They rot even
• 2:13:05
  Speaker 6: in the summer. It is cowardice that holdeth them fast
• 2:13:09
  Speaker 6: to their branches. Far too many live, and far too
• 2:13:14
  Speaker 6: long hang they on their branches. Would that a storm
• 2:13:18
  Speaker 6: came and shook all this rottenness and worm eatenness from
• 2:13:22
  Speaker 6: the tree. Would that there came preachers of speedy death,
• 2:13:28
  Speaker 6: those would be the appropriate storms and agitators of the
• 2:13:32
  Speaker 6: trees of life. But I hear only slow death preached,
• 2:13:37
  Speaker 6: and patience with all that is earthly. Ah, ye preach
• 2:13:44
  Speaker 6: patience with what is earthly? This earthly? Is it that
• 2:13:48
  Speaker 6: hath too much patience with you, ye blasphemers. Verily too
• 2:13:54
  Speaker 6: early died that Hebrew whom the preachers of slow death honor,
• 2:13:59
  Speaker 6: And to many hath it proved a calamity that he
• 2:14:02
  Speaker 6: died too early. As yet, had he known only tears
• 2:14:08
  Speaker 6: and the melancholy of the Hebrews, together with the hatred
• 2:14:12
  Speaker 6: of the good and just the Hebrew Jesus, then was
• 2:14:16
  Speaker 6: he seized with a longing for death. Had he but
• 2:14:20
  Speaker 6: remained in the wilderness and far from the good and just,
• 2:14:24
  Speaker 6: then perhaps would he have learned to live and love
• 2:14:27
  Speaker 6: the earth and laughter. Also believe it, my brethren, he
• 2:14:32
  Speaker 6: died too early. He himself would have disavowed his doctrine
• 2:14:38
  Speaker 6: had he attained to my age. Noble enough was he
• 2:14:41
  Speaker 6: to disavow. But he was still immature. Immaturely loveth the youth,
• 2:14:48
  Speaker 6: and immaturely also hateth he man and earth confined and awkward,
• 2:14:54
  Speaker 6: are still his soul and the wings of his spirit.
• 2:14:58
  Speaker 6: But in man there is more more of the child
• 2:15:00
  Speaker 6: than in the youth, and less of melancholy. Better understandeth
• 2:15:05
  Speaker 6: he about life and death, free for death and free
• 2:15:10
  Speaker 6: in death, a holy naysayer when there is no longer
• 2:15:14
  Speaker 6: time for yea. Thus understandeth he about death and life.
• 2:15:21
  Speaker 6: That your dying may not be a reproach to man
• 2:15:24
  Speaker 6: and the earth, My friends, that do I solicit from
• 2:15:27
  Speaker 6: the honey of your soul in your dying, shall your
• 2:15:31
  Speaker 6: spirit and your virtue still shine like an evening afterglow
• 2:15:37
  Speaker 6: around the earth. Otherwise your dying hath been unsatisfactory. Thus
• 2:15:42
  Speaker 6: will I die myself, that ye friends may love the
• 2:15:47
  Speaker 6: earth more for my sake, and earth will I again
• 2:15:51
  Speaker 6: become to have rest in her that bore me verily
• 2:15:56
  Speaker 6: a goal had Zarathustra he threw his ball. Now, be
• 2:16:02
  Speaker 6: ye friends, the heirs of my goal, to you throw
• 2:16:06
  Speaker 6: I the golden ball. Best of all? Do I see you,
• 2:16:11
  Speaker 6: my friends, throw the golden ball? And so tarry I
• 2:16:17
  Speaker 6: still a little while on the earth. Pardon me for it,
• 2:16:22
  Speaker 6: Thus spake Zarathustra. End of Part one, Chapter twenty one,
• 2:16:28
  Speaker 6: Part one, Chapter twenty two, The bestowing Virtue. One. When
• 2:16:37
  Speaker 6: Zarathustra had taken leave of the town to which his
• 2:16:41
  Speaker 6: heart was attached, the name of which is the Pied Cow,
• 2:16:46
  Speaker 6: there followed him many people, who called themselves his disciples,
• 2:16:51
  Speaker 6: and kept him company. Thus came they to a cross road.
• 2:16:57
  Speaker 6: Then Zarathustra told them that he now wanted to go alone,
• 2:17:02
  Speaker 6: for he was fond of going alone. His disciples, however,
• 2:17:07
  Speaker 6: presented him at his departure with a staff, on the
• 2:17:11
  Speaker 6: golden handle of which a serpent twined round the sun.
• 2:17:18
  Speaker 6: Zarathustra rejoiced on account of the staff, and supported himself thereon.
• 2:17:24
  Speaker 6: Then spake he thus to his disciples, Tell me pray
• 2:17:30
  Speaker 6: how came gold to the highest value? Because it is
• 2:17:35
  Speaker 6: uncommon and unprofiting, and beaming and soft in luster, it
• 2:17:44
  Speaker 6: always bestoweth itself only as image of the highest virtue.
• 2:17:51
  Speaker 6: Came gold to the highest value. Goldlike beameth the glance
• 2:17:57
  Speaker 6: of the bestower. Gold luster maketh peace between moon and sun.
• 2:18:04
  Speaker 6: Uncommon is the highest virtue, and unprofiting, beaming is it,
• 2:18:11
  Speaker 6: and soft of luster. A bestowing virtue is the highest virtue.
• 2:18:18
  Speaker 6: Verily I divine you well, my disciples, Ye strive like
• 2:18:24
  Speaker 6: me for the bestowing virtue. What should ye have in
• 2:18:28
  Speaker 6: common with cats and wolves? It is your thirst to
• 2:18:34
  Speaker 6: become sacrifices and gifts yourselves. And therefore have ye the
• 2:18:41
  Speaker 6: thirst to accumulate all riches in your soul. Insatiably striveth
• 2:18:49
  Speaker 6: your soul for treasures and jewels. Because your virtue is insatiable.
• 2:18:55
  Speaker 6: In desiring to bestow, ye constrain all things things to
• 2:19:00
  Speaker 6: flow towards you and into you, so that they shall
• 2:19:04
  Speaker 6: flow back again out of your fountain as the gifts
• 2:19:09
  Speaker 6: of your love. Verily, an appropriator of all values, must
• 2:19:16
  Speaker 6: such bestowing love become but healthy and holy? Call I
• 2:19:22
  Speaker 6: this selfishness. Another selfishness is there an all too poor
• 2:19:29
  Speaker 6: and hungry kind which would always steal the selfishness of
• 2:19:34
  Speaker 6: the sick, the sickly selfishness with the eye of the thief.
• 2:19:40
  Speaker 6: It looketh upon all that is lustrous, with the craving
• 2:19:44
  Speaker 6: of hunger. It measureth him who hath abundance, and ever
• 2:19:49
  Speaker 6: doth it prowl round the tables of bestowers. Sickness speaketh
• 2:19:55
  Speaker 6: in such craving and invisible degeneration of a sickly body
• 2:20:01
  Speaker 6: speaketh the larcenous craving of this selfishness. Tell me, my brother,
• 2:20:08
  Speaker 6: what do we think? Bad? And worst of all? Is
• 2:20:13
  Speaker 6: it not degeneration? And we always suspect degeneration when the
• 2:20:19
  Speaker 6: bestowing soul is lacking. Upward goeth our course from genera
• 2:20:25
  Speaker 6: onto supergenera. But a horror to us is the degenerating sense,
• 2:20:32
  Speaker 6: which saith all for myself. Upward soareth our sense. Thus
• 2:20:40
  Speaker 6: is it a simile of our body? A simile of
• 2:20:44
  Speaker 6: an elevation. Such similes of elevations are the names of
• 2:20:50
  Speaker 6: the virtues. Thus goeth the body through history of becomer
• 2:20:56
  Speaker 6: and fighter and the spirit. What is it to the body,
• 2:21:02
  Speaker 6: its fights and victories, herald, its companion and echo? Similes
• 2:21:09
  Speaker 6: are all names of good and evil. They do not
• 2:21:13
  Speaker 6: speak out. They only hint a fool who seeketh knowledge
• 2:21:18
  Speaker 6: from them. Give heed, my brethren, to every hour when
• 2:21:23
  Speaker 6: your spirit would speak in similes, there is the origin
• 2:21:28
  Speaker 6: of your virtue. Elevated is then your body and raised
• 2:21:34
  Speaker 6: up with its delight enraptureth it the spirit, so that
• 2:21:39
  Speaker 6: it becometh creator and valuer and lover and everything's benefactor.
• 2:21:46
  Speaker 6: When your heart overfloweth broad and full, like the river,
• 2:21:51
  Speaker 6: a blessing and a danger to the lowlanders. There is
• 2:21:55
  Speaker 6: the origin of your virtue when ye are exalted above
• 2:22:00
  Speaker 6: praise and blame, and your will would command all things
• 2:22:05
  Speaker 6: as a loving one's will. There is the origin of
• 2:22:09
  Speaker 6: your virtue when ye despise pleasant things, and the effeminate couch,
• 2:22:15
  Speaker 6: and cannot couch far enough from the effeminate. There is
• 2:22:20
  Speaker 6: the origin of your virtue when ye are willers of
• 2:22:25
  Speaker 6: one will, and when that change of every need is
• 2:22:29
  Speaker 6: needful to you. There is the origin of your virtue. Verily,
• 2:22:35
  Speaker 6: a new good and evil is it? Verily a new
• 2:22:38
  Speaker 6: deep murmuring, and the voice of a new fountain power
• 2:22:44
  Speaker 6: is it? This new virtue? A ruling thought?
• 2:22:48
  Speaker 3: Is it?
• 2:22:49
  Speaker 6: And around it a subtle soul, a golden sun with
• 2:22:53
  Speaker 6: a serpent of knowledge around it. Two here caused Zarathustra
• 2:23:01
  Speaker 6: awhile and looked lovingly on his disciples. Then he continued
• 2:23:07
  Speaker 6: to speak thus, and his voice had changed. Remain true
• 2:23:13
  Speaker 6: to the earth, my brethren, with the power of your virtue,
• 2:23:18
  Speaker 6: Let your bestowing love and your knowledge be devoted to
• 2:23:22
  Speaker 6: be the meaning of the earth. Thus do I pray
• 2:23:26
  Speaker 6: and conjure you. Let it not fly away from the
• 2:23:30
  Speaker 6: earthly and beat against eternal walls with its wings. Ah,
• 2:23:36
  Speaker 6: there hath always been so much flown away virtue lead
• 2:23:42
  Speaker 6: like me, the flown away virtue back to the earth, yea,
• 2:23:48
  Speaker 6: back to body and life, that it may give to
• 2:23:52
  Speaker 6: the earth its meaning, a human meaning A hundred times
• 2:23:57
  Speaker 6: hitherto hath spirit as well as virtue flown away and blundered,
• 2:24:03
  Speaker 6: alas in our body. Dwelleth still all this delusion and
• 2:24:08
  Speaker 6: blundering body, and will hath it there become a hundred
• 2:24:13
  Speaker 6: times hitherto hath spirit as well as virtue attempted and erred? Yea,
• 2:24:20
  Speaker 6: an attempt hath man been alas much ignorance and error.
• 2:24:26
  Speaker 6: Hath become embodied in us? Not only the rationality of millenniums,
• 2:24:33
  Speaker 6: also their madness breaketh out in us. Dangerous is it
• 2:24:38
  Speaker 6: to be an heir? Still fight we step by step
• 2:24:43
  Speaker 6: with a giant chance, and over all mankind hath hitherto
• 2:24:48
  Speaker 6: ruled nonsense the lack of sense. Let your spirit and
• 2:24:54
  Speaker 6: your virtue be devoted to the sense of the earth,
• 2:24:57
  Speaker 6: my brethren, Let the value of everything be determined anew
• 2:25:02
  Speaker 6: by you. Therefore, shall ye be fighters. Therefore shall ye
• 2:25:08
  Speaker 6: be creators? Intelligently doth the body purify itself, attempting with
• 2:25:14
  Speaker 6: intelligence it exalteth itself to the discerners. All impulses sanctify
• 2:25:20
  Speaker 6: themselves to the exalted. The soul becometh joyful physician. Heal thyself.
• 2:25:30
  Speaker 6: Then wilt thou also heal thy patient. Let it be
• 2:25:33
  Speaker 6: his best cure to see with his eyes him who
• 2:25:37
  Speaker 6: maketh himself whole. A thousand paths are there which have
• 2:25:43
  Speaker 6: never yet been trodden, a thousand salubrities and hidden islands
• 2:25:49
  Speaker 6: of life, unexhausted and undiscovered. Is still man and man's
• 2:25:55
  Speaker 6: world Awake and hearken. Ye lonesome ones from the future,
• 2:26:01
  Speaker 6: come winds with stealthy pinions, and to fine ears, good
• 2:26:06
  Speaker 6: tidings are proclaimed, ye, lonesome ones of to day ye
• 2:26:11
  Speaker 6: seceding ones. Ye shall one day be a people out
• 2:26:16
  Speaker 6: of you who have chosen yourselves. Shall a chosen people arise,
• 2:26:23
  Speaker 6: and out of it the superman verily a place of healing.
• 2:26:29
  Speaker 6: Shall the earth become? And already is a new odor
• 2:26:33
  Speaker 6: diffused around it, a salvation bringing odor and a new hope.
• 2:26:41
  Speaker 6: Three when Zarathustra had spoken these words, He paused, like
• 2:26:46
  Speaker 6: one who had not said his last word. And long
• 2:26:50
  Speaker 6: did he balance the staff doubtfully in his hand. At
• 2:26:54
  Speaker 6: last he spake thus, and his voice had changed. I
• 2:27:00
  Speaker 6: now go alone, my disciples. Ye also now go away
• 2:27:04
  Speaker 6: and alone. So will I have it?
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 10: Verily?
• 2:27:09
  Speaker 6: I advise you depart from me and guard yourselves against Zarathustra,
• 2:27:15
  Speaker 6: and better still be ashamed of him. Perhaps he hath
• 2:27:19
  Speaker 6: deceived you. The man of knowledge must be able not
• 2:27:22
  Speaker 6: only to love his enemies, but also to hate his friends.
• 2:27:27
  Speaker 6: One requiteth a teacher badly if one remain merely a scholar?
• 2:27:33
  Speaker 6: And why will ye not pluck at my wreath? Ye
• 2:27:38
  Speaker 6: venerate me? But what if your veneration should some day collapse?
• 2:27:43
  Speaker 6: Take heed? Lest a statue crush you. Ye say, ye
• 2:27:47
  Speaker 6: believe in Zarathustra. But of what account is Zarathustra? Ye
• 2:27:54
  Speaker 6: are my believers, But of what account are all believers?
• 2:27:58
  Speaker 6: Ye had not yet so yourselves? Then did ye find me?
• 2:28:04
  Speaker 6: So do all believers? Therefore all belief is of so
• 2:28:09
  Speaker 6: little account. Now do I bid you lose me and
• 2:28:14
  Speaker 6: find yourselves. And only when ye have all denied me,
• 2:28:18
  Speaker 6: will I return unto you verily with other eyes, my brethren,
• 2:28:24
  Speaker 6: Shall I then seek my lost ones with another love?
• 2:28:28
  Speaker 6: Shall I then love you? And once again shall ye
• 2:28:33
  Speaker 6: have become friends unto me and children of one hope?
• 2:28:37
  Speaker 6: Then will I be with you for the third time
• 2:28:40
  Speaker 6: to celebrate the Great Noontide with you? And it is
• 2:28:45
  Speaker 6: the Great Noontide when man is in the middle of
• 2:28:49
  Speaker 6: his course between animal and superman, and celebrateth his advance
• 2:28:55
  Speaker 6: to the evening as his highest hope, For it is
• 2:28:58
  Speaker 6: the advance to new morning. At such time will the
• 2:29:03
  Speaker 6: down goer bless himself that he should be an over
• 2:29:07
  Speaker 6: goer and the sun of his knowledge will be at Noontide? Dead?
• 2:29:13
  Speaker 6: Are all the gods? Now? Do we desire the superman
• 2:29:18
  Speaker 6: to live? Let this be our final will at the
• 2:29:22
  Speaker 6: Great Noontide. Thus spake Zarathustra end of Part one, Chapter twenty.
• 2:29:30
  Speaker 9: Two, Part two, Chapter twenty three, The Child with the Mirror.
• 2:29:40
  Speaker 9: After this, Zarathustra returned again into the mountains to the
• 2:29:43
  Speaker 9: solitude of his cave and withdrew himself from men, waiting
• 2:29:47
  Speaker 9: like a sewer who had scattered his seed. His soul, however,
• 2:29:51
  Speaker 9: became impatient, full of longing for those whom he loved,
• 2:29:55
  Speaker 9: because he had still much to give them, for this
• 2:29:58
  Speaker 9: is hardest of all to close the old in hand
• 2:30:00
  Speaker 9: out of love and keep modest as a giver. Thus
• 2:30:05
  Speaker 9: passed with the lonesome one months and years. His wisdom
• 2:30:09
  Speaker 9: meanwhile increased and caused him pain by its abundance. One morning, however,
• 2:30:15
  Speaker 9: he awoke ere the rosy dawn, and, having meditated long
• 2:30:18
  Speaker 9: on his couch, at last spake thus to his heart.
• 2:30:22
  Speaker 9: Why did I startle in my dream so that I awoke?
• 2:30:26
  Speaker 9: Did not a child come to me carrying a mirror? Oh, Zarathustra,
• 2:30:30
  Speaker 9: said the child unto me, look at thyself in the mirror.
• 2:30:35
  Speaker 9: But when I looked into the mirror, I shrieked and
• 2:30:37
  Speaker 9: my heart throbbed, for not myself did I see therein
• 2:30:41
  Speaker 9: but a devil's grimace and derision. Verily, all too well
• 2:30:45
  Speaker 9: do I understand the dreams, portent and monition. My doctrine
• 2:30:50
  Speaker 9: is in danger. Tears wont to be called wheat mine.
• 2:30:54
  Speaker 9: Enemies have grown powerful and have disfigured the likeness of
• 2:30:57
  Speaker 9: my doctrine, so that my dearest ones have to blush
• 2:31:00
  Speaker 9: for the gifts that I gave them. Lost are my friends?
• 2:31:04
  Speaker 9: The hourreth come for me to seek my lost ones.
• 2:31:08
  Speaker 9: With these words, Zarathustra started up, not however, like a
• 2:31:12
  Speaker 9: person in anguish seeking relief, but rather like a seer
• 2:31:15
  Speaker 9: and a singer whom the spirit inspireth with amazement. Did
• 2:31:20
  Speaker 9: his eagle and serpent gaze upon him for a coming
• 2:31:23
  Speaker 9: bliss overspread his countenance like the rosy dawn. What hath
• 2:31:28
  Speaker 9: happened to me? Mine animals, said Zarathustra, Am I not transformed?
• 2:31:33
  Speaker 9: Hath not bliss come unto me like a whirlwind? Foolish
• 2:31:37
  Speaker 9: is my happiness, and foolish things? Will it speak? It
• 2:31:40
  Speaker 9: is still too young, so half patience with it?
• 2:31:43
  Speaker 8: Wounded?
• 2:31:44
  Speaker 9: Am I by my happiness? All sufferers shall be physicians
• 2:31:48
  Speaker 9: unto me? To my friends, can I again go down?
• 2:31:52
  Speaker 9: And also to mine enemies? Zarathustra can again speak and
• 2:31:55
  Speaker 9: bestow and show his best love to his loved ones.
• 2:32:01
  Speaker 9: My impatient love overfloweth in streams down towards sunrise and sunset,
• 2:32:07
  Speaker 9: out of silent mountains and storms of affliction, rusheth my
• 2:32:11
  Speaker 9: soul into the valleys. Too long have I longed and
• 2:32:15
  Speaker 9: looked into the distance? Too long? Hath solitude possessed me?
• 2:32:19
  Speaker 9: Thus I have unlearned to keep silence utterance? Have I
• 2:32:23
  Speaker 9: become altogether and the brawling of a brook from high
• 2:32:26
  Speaker 9: rocks downward into the valleys. Will I hurl my speech
• 2:32:31
  Speaker 9: and let the stream of my love sweep into unfrequented channels?
• 2:32:35
  Speaker 9: How should a stream not finally find its way to
• 2:32:37
  Speaker 9: the sea? Forsooth there is a lake in me, sequestered
• 2:32:42
  Speaker 9: in self sufficing. But the stream of my love beareth
• 2:32:45
  Speaker 9: this all along with it down to the sea. New
• 2:32:51
  Speaker 9: paths do I tread? A new speech cometh unto me? Tired?
• 2:32:55
  Speaker 9: Have I become like all creators of the old tongues?
• 2:32:59
  Speaker 9: No longer? Will my spirit walk on worn out souls
• 2:33:03
  Speaker 9: too slowly runneth all speaking for me into thy chariot.
• 2:33:07
  Speaker 9: Oh storm, do I leap? And even thee will I
• 2:33:10
  Speaker 9: whip with my spite like a cry and a huszah?
• 2:33:14
  Speaker 9: Will I traverse the wide seas till I find the
• 2:33:16
  Speaker 9: happy isles where my friends sojourn, and my enemies amongst them?
• 2:33:21
  Speaker 9: How now I love everyone unto whom I may but speak,
• 2:33:25
  Speaker 9: even mine enemies pertain to my bliss. And when I
• 2:33:28
  Speaker 9: want to mount my wildest horse, then doth my spear
• 2:33:31
  Speaker 9: always help me up? Best? It is my foot's ever
• 2:33:34
  Speaker 9: ready servant, the spear which I hurl at mine enemies.
• 2:33:38
  Speaker 9: How grateful am I to mine enemies, that I may
• 2:33:40
  Speaker 9: at last hurl it?
• 2:33:43
  Speaker 2: Too?
• 2:33:43
  Speaker 9: Great hath been the tension of my cloud TwixT laughters
• 2:33:46
  Speaker 9: of lightning? Will I cast hail showers into the depths violently?
• 2:33:51
  Speaker 9: Will my breast then heave violently? Will it blow its
• 2:33:54
  Speaker 9: storm over the mountains? Thus cometh its assuagement, verily, like
• 2:34:00
  Speaker 9: a storm cometh my happiness and my freedom. But mine
• 2:34:03
  Speaker 9: enemies shall think that the evil one roareth over their heads.
• 2:34:08
  Speaker 9: Yea ye, also my friends will be alarmed by my
• 2:34:11
  Speaker 9: wild wisdom, and perhaps ye will flee therefrom along with
• 2:34:15
  Speaker 9: mine enemies. Ah that I knew how to lure you
• 2:34:18
  Speaker 9: back with shepherd's flutes, Ah that my lioness wisdom would
• 2:34:22
  Speaker 9: learn to roar softly. And much have we already learned
• 2:34:26
  Speaker 9: with one another. My wild wisdom became pregnant on the
• 2:34:31
  Speaker 9: lonesome mountains, on the rough stones did she bear the
• 2:34:34
  Speaker 9: youngest of her young. Now runneth she foolishly in the
• 2:34:37
  Speaker 9: arid wilderness, and seeketh and seeketh the soft sword, mine
• 2:34:42
  Speaker 9: old wild wisdom on the soft sword of your hearts,
• 2:34:46
  Speaker 9: my friends, on your love, would she fain couch her
• 2:34:49
  Speaker 9: dearest one? Thus spake Zarathustra. End of Chapter twenty three,
• 2:35:03
  Speaker 9: Part two, Chapter twenty four. In the Happy Aisles, the
• 2:35:12
  Speaker 9: figs fall far from the trees. They're good and sweet,
• 2:35:15
  Speaker 9: and in falling the red skins of them break a
• 2:35:19
  Speaker 9: north wind. Am I to write figs? Thus? Like figs?
• 2:35:23
  Speaker 9: Did these doctrines fall for you? My friends? Imbibe? Now
• 2:35:27
  Speaker 9: they're juice in their sweet substance. It is autumn all around,
• 2:35:31
  Speaker 9: in clear sky and afternoon. Lo what fullness is around us?
• 2:35:38
  Speaker 9: And out of the midst of superabundance, it is delightful
• 2:35:41
  Speaker 9: to look out upon distant seas. Once did people say
• 2:35:46
  Speaker 9: God when they looked out upon distant seas? Now, however,
• 2:35:51
  Speaker 9: I have taught you to say superman. God is a conjecture.
• 2:35:56
  Speaker 9: But I do not wish your conjecturing to reach beyond
• 2:35:59
  Speaker 9: your creating will. Could ye create a God?
• 2:36:05
  Speaker 6: Then?
• 2:36:05
  Speaker 9: I pray you be silent about all gods, But ye
• 2:36:08
  Speaker 9: could well create the Superman? Not perhaps ye yourselves, my brethren,
• 2:36:14
  Speaker 9: but into fathers and forefathers of the Superman. Could ye
• 2:36:17
  Speaker 9: transform yourselves and let that be your best creating God
• 2:36:23
  Speaker 9: is a conjecture. But I should like your conjecturing restricted
• 2:36:27
  Speaker 9: to the conceivable, Could ye conceive a God? But let
• 2:36:34
  Speaker 9: this mean will to truth unto you, that everything be
• 2:36:37
  Speaker 9: transformed into the humanly conceivable, the humanly visible, the humanly sensible.
• 2:36:44
  Speaker 9: Your own discernment shall ye follow out to the end.
• 2:36:49
  Speaker 9: And what ye have called the world shall but be
• 2:36:51
  Speaker 9: created by you, your reason, your likeness, your will, your love.
• 2:36:57
  Speaker 9: Shall it itself become for your bliss? Ye discerning ones?
• 2:37:04
  Speaker 9: And how would ye endure life without that hope? Ye
• 2:37:07
  Speaker 9: discerning ones? Neither in the inconceivable could ye have been born,
• 2:37:12
  Speaker 9: nor in the irrational, but that I may reveal my
• 2:37:16
  Speaker 9: heart entirely unto you, my friends, if there were gods,
• 2:37:21
  Speaker 9: how could I endure it to be no God? Therefore
• 2:37:25
  Speaker 9: there are no gods? Yea, I have drawn the conclusion. Now,
• 2:37:30
  Speaker 9: however doth it draw me? God is a conjecture? But
• 2:37:35
  Speaker 9: who could drink all the bitterness of this conjecture without dying?
• 2:37:39
  Speaker 9: Shall his faith be taken from the creating One, and
• 2:37:42
  Speaker 9: from the eagle his flights into eagle heights. God is
• 2:37:48
  Speaker 9: a thought. It maketh all the straight crooked, and all
• 2:37:51
  Speaker 9: that standeth real, what time would be gone, and all
• 2:37:55
  Speaker 9: the perishable would be but a lie? To think this
• 2:37:59
  Speaker 9: is giddiness, and to go to human limbs, and even
• 2:38:01
  Speaker 9: vomiting to the stomach. Verily, the reeling sickness do I
• 2:38:05
  Speaker 9: call it? To congesture? Such a thing.
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 7: Evil?
• 2:38:09
  Speaker 9: Do I call it? And misanthropic? All that teaching about
• 2:38:13
  Speaker 9: the one and the planum, and the unmoved, and the
• 2:38:16
  Speaker 9: sufficient and the imperishable, all the imperishable, that's but a simile,
• 2:38:22
  Speaker 9: and the poets lie too much. But of time and
• 2:38:26
  Speaker 9: of becoming, shall the best simile speak? A praise shall
• 2:38:30
  Speaker 9: they be? And a justification of all perishableness. Creating that
• 2:38:36
  Speaker 9: is the great salvation from suffering and life's alleviation. But
• 2:38:42
  Speaker 9: for the Creator to appear suffering itself is needed. And
• 2:38:46
  Speaker 9: much transformation, yea much bitter dying must there be in
• 2:38:51
  Speaker 9: your life, Ye creators. Thus are ye advocates and justifiers
• 2:38:56
  Speaker 9: of all perishableness. For the Creator himself to be the
• 2:39:00
  Speaker 9: newborn child, he must also be willing to be the
• 2:39:03
  Speaker 9: child bearer and endure the pangs of the child bearer. Verily,
• 2:39:09
  Speaker 9: through a hundred souls went I my way, and through
• 2:39:12
  Speaker 9: a hundred cradles in birth throws many a farewell have
• 2:39:16
  Speaker 9: I taken. I know the heartbreaking last hours, But so
• 2:39:21
  Speaker 9: willth that my creating will my fate. Or to tell
• 2:39:26
  Speaker 9: you it more candidly, just such a fate. Willeth my
• 2:39:30
  Speaker 9: will all feeling suffereth in me and is in prison.
• 2:39:36
  Speaker 9: But my willing ever cometh to me as mine emancipator
• 2:39:40
  Speaker 9: and comforter willing emancipateth. This is the true doctrine of
• 2:39:46
  Speaker 9: will and emancipation. So teacheth you Zarathustra, no longer willing,
• 2:39:53
  Speaker 9: and no longer valuing, and no longer creating, Ah, that
• 2:39:57
  Speaker 9: that great debility may never be far from me. And
• 2:40:02
  Speaker 9: also in discerning do I feel only my will's procreating
• 2:40:05
  Speaker 9: and evolving delight? And if there be innocence in my knowledge,
• 2:40:09
  Speaker 9: it is because there is will to procreation in it
• 2:40:14
  Speaker 9: away from God and God's did this will allure me?
• 2:40:18
  Speaker 9: What would there be to create if there were gods?
• 2:40:22
  Speaker 9: But to man? Doth it ever impel me? Anew, my
• 2:40:25
  Speaker 9: fervent creative will thus impelleth it the hammer to the stone.
• 2:40:31
  Speaker 9: Ah Ye, men within the stone slumberth an image for me,
• 2:40:35
  Speaker 9: the image of my visions, Ah, that it should slumber
• 2:40:39
  Speaker 9: in the hardest, ugliest stone. Now rageth my hammer ruthlessly
• 2:40:44
  Speaker 9: against its prison. From the stone, fly the fragments. What's
• 2:40:49
  Speaker 9: that to me? I will complete it? For a shadow
• 2:40:52
  Speaker 9: came unto me, the stillest and lightest of all things
• 2:40:56
  Speaker 9: once came unto me. The beauty of the south came
• 2:41:00
  Speaker 9: unto me as a shadow. Ah, my brethren, of what
• 2:41:04
  Speaker 9: account now are the gods to me? Thus spake Zarathustra.
• 2:41:12
  Speaker 9: End of Chapter twenty four, Part two, Chapter twenty five,
• 2:41:24
  Speaker 9: The pitiful, my friends, there at the risen a satire
• 2:41:32
  Speaker 9: on your friend. Behold, Zarathustra walkes he not amongst us,
• 2:41:38
  Speaker 9: as if amongst animals. But it is better said in
• 2:41:42
  Speaker 9: this wise, the discerning one walketh amongst men as amongst animals.
• 2:41:50
  Speaker 9: Man himself is to the discerning one the animal with
• 2:41:53
  Speaker 9: red cheeks? How had that happened unto him? Is it not?
• 2:41:58
  Speaker 9: Because he hath had to be ashamed? Too? Oft? Oh,
• 2:42:02
  Speaker 9: my friends, thus speaketh the discerning one Shame, shame, shame.
• 2:42:08
  Speaker 9: That is the history of man. And on that account
• 2:42:13
  Speaker 9: doth the noble one enjoin upon himself not to abash bashfulness?
• 2:42:18
  Speaker 9: Doth he enjoin on himself in presence of all sufferers.
• 2:42:23
  Speaker 9: Verily I like them, not the merciful ones, whose bliss
• 2:42:26
  Speaker 9: is in their pity to destitute. Are they of bashfulness?
• 2:42:31
  Speaker 9: If I must be pitiful, I dislike to be called so.
• 2:42:35
  Speaker 9: And if I be so, it is preferably at a distance.
• 2:42:39
  Speaker 9: Preferably Also do I shroud my head and flee before
• 2:42:42
  Speaker 9: being recognized? And thus do I bid you do, my friends,
• 2:42:48
  Speaker 9: May my destiny ever lead unafflicted ones like you across
• 2:42:52
  Speaker 9: my path, and those with whom I may have hope
• 2:42:55
  Speaker 9: and repast and honey in common. Verily I have done
• 2:42:59
  Speaker 9: this and that for the afflicted. But something better did
• 2:43:02
  Speaker 9: I always seem to do when I had learned to
• 2:43:05
  Speaker 9: enjoy myself better. Since humanity came into being, man hath
• 2:43:10
  Speaker 9: enjoyed himself too little. That alone, my brethren, is our
• 2:43:14
  Speaker 9: original sin. And when we learn better to enjoy ourselves,
• 2:43:19
  Speaker 9: then do we unlearn best to give pain unto others
• 2:43:22
  Speaker 9: and to contrive pain. Therefore do I wash the hand
• 2:43:27
  Speaker 9: that helped the sufferer? Therefore do I wipe also my soul,
• 2:43:32
  Speaker 9: For in seeing the sufferer suffering, thereof was I ashamed
• 2:43:36
  Speaker 9: on account of his shame, and in helping him sorely
• 2:43:39
  Speaker 9: did I wound his pride. Great obligations do not make
• 2:43:44
  Speaker 9: grateful but revengeful. And when a small kindness is not forgotten,
• 2:43:48
  Speaker 9: it becometh a gnawing worm. Be shy and accepting distinguished
• 2:43:53
  Speaker 9: by accepting. Thus do I advise those who have naught
• 2:43:57
  Speaker 9: to bestow ay. However, I'm a bestower. Willingly do I
• 2:44:02
  Speaker 9: bestow as friend to friends strangers, however, and the poor
• 2:44:06
  Speaker 9: may pluck for themselves the fruit from my tree. Thus
• 2:44:10
  Speaker 9: doth it cause less shame beggars, However, one should entirely
• 2:44:15
  Speaker 9: do away with Verily, it annoyeth one to give unto them,
• 2:44:20
  Speaker 9: and it annoyeth one not to give unto them. And likewise,
• 2:44:24
  Speaker 9: sinners and bad consciences. Believe me, my friends, the sting
• 2:44:28
  Speaker 9: of conscience teacheth one to sting. The worst things, however,
• 2:44:33
  Speaker 9: are the petty thoughts. Verily better to have done evily
• 2:44:37
  Speaker 9: than to have thought pettily. To be sure, ye say,
• 2:44:42
  Speaker 9: the delight in petty evils spareth one many a great
• 2:44:45
  Speaker 9: evil deed. But here one should not wish to be spary.
• 2:44:50
  Speaker 9: Like a boil. Is the evil deed it itcheth and
• 2:44:53
  Speaker 9: irritateth and breaketh forth. It speaketh honorably. Behold, I I
• 2:45:00
  Speaker 9: am a disease, saith the evil deed that is its honorableness.
• 2:45:07
  Speaker 9: But like infection is the petty thought. It creepeth and hideth,
• 2:45:11
  Speaker 9: and wanteth to be nowhere until the whole body is
• 2:45:15
  Speaker 9: decayed and withered by the petty infection. To him, however,
• 2:45:19
  Speaker 9: who is possessed of a devil, I should whisper this
• 2:45:22
  Speaker 9: word in the ear. Better for THEE to rear up
• 2:45:25
  Speaker 9: thy devil. Even for thee there is still a path
• 2:45:29
  Speaker 9: to greatness. Ah, my brethren, one knoweth a little too
• 2:45:34
  Speaker 9: much about every one, and many a one becometh transparent
• 2:45:38
  Speaker 9: to us. But we still can, by no means penetrate him.
• 2:45:43
  Speaker 9: It is difficult to live among men because silence is
• 2:45:46
  Speaker 9: so difficult. And not to him who is offensive to
• 2:45:50
  Speaker 9: us are we most unfair. But to him who doth
• 2:45:53
  Speaker 9: not concern us at all. If however, thou hast a
• 2:45:58
  Speaker 9: suffering friend, then be arresting place for his suffering, like
• 2:46:02
  Speaker 9: a hard bed. However a camp bed, thus wilt thou
• 2:46:06
  Speaker 9: serve him best. And if a friend doeth THEE wrong,
• 2:46:11
  Speaker 9: then say I forgive thee. What thou hast done unto me,
• 2:46:15
  Speaker 9: that thou hast done it unto thyself? However, how could
• 2:46:18
  Speaker 9: I forgive that? Thus speakest all great love. It surpasseth
• 2:46:24
  Speaker 9: even forgiveness and pity. One should hold fast one's heart,
• 2:46:29
  Speaker 9: for when one letteth it go, how quickly doth one's
• 2:46:33
  Speaker 9: head run away? Ah? Where in the world have there
• 2:46:37
  Speaker 9: been greater follies than with the pitiful? And what in
• 2:46:41
  Speaker 9: the world hath caused more suffering than the follies of
• 2:46:43
  Speaker 9: the pitiful? Woe unto all loving ones who have not
• 2:46:47
  Speaker 9: an elevation which is above their pity. Thus spake the
• 2:46:52
  Speaker 9: devil unto me once on a time. Even God hath
• 2:46:56
  Speaker 9: his hell. It is his love for man. And lately
• 2:47:01
  Speaker 9: did I hear him say these words. God is dead
• 2:47:06
  Speaker 9: of his pity for man hath God died, So be
• 2:47:10
  Speaker 9: ye warned against pity. From thence there yet cometh unto
• 2:47:15
  Speaker 9: men a heavy cloud. Verily I understand whether signs, but
• 2:47:21
  Speaker 9: attend also to this word. All great love is above
• 2:47:25
  Speaker 9: all its pity, for it seeketh to create what is loved.
• 2:47:32
  Speaker 9: Myself do I offer unto my love and my neighbor
• 2:47:35
  Speaker 9: as myself? Such is the language of all creators. All creators, however,
• 2:47:43
  Speaker 9: are hard. Thus spake Zarathustra, end of Chapter twenty five,
• 2:47:58
  Speaker 9: Part two, Chapter twenty six. The priests, And one day
• 2:48:07
  Speaker 9: Zarathustra made a sign to his disciples and spake these
• 2:48:11
  Speaker 9: words unto them. Here are priests, But although they are mine,
• 2:48:16
  Speaker 9: enemies pass them quietly and with sleeping swords. Even among
• 2:48:21
  Speaker 9: them there are heroes. Many of them have suffered too much,
• 2:48:25
  Speaker 9: so they want to make others suffer. Bad enemies are they?
• 2:48:30
  Speaker 9: Nothing is more revengeful than their meekness. And readily doth
• 2:48:34
  Speaker 9: he soil himself who toucheth them. But my blood is
• 2:48:38
  Speaker 9: related to theirs, and I want withal to see my
• 2:48:41
  Speaker 9: blood honored in theirs. And when they had passed, a
• 2:48:45
  Speaker 9: pain attack Zarathustra. But not long had he struggled with
• 2:48:49
  Speaker 9: the pain when he began to speak. Thus it moveth
• 2:48:53
  Speaker 9: my heart for those priests. They also go against my taste.
• 2:48:58
  Speaker 9: But that is the smallest matter unto me, since I
• 2:49:00
  Speaker 9: am among men. But I suffer and have suffered with them.
• 2:49:05
  Speaker 9: Prisoners are they unto me? And stigmatized ones? He whom
• 2:49:10
  Speaker 9: they call savior put them in fetters and fetters are
• 2:49:13
  Speaker 9: false virtues and fatuous words. Oh, that someone would save
• 2:49:18
  Speaker 9: them all from their savior. On an aisle, they once
• 2:49:22
  Speaker 9: thought they had landed when the sea tossed them about.
• 2:49:26
  Speaker 9: But behold it was a slumbering monster. False virtues and
• 2:49:32
  Speaker 9: fatuous words. These are the worst monsters for mortals. Long
• 2:49:37
  Speaker 9: slumbereth and waiteth the faith that is in them. But
• 2:49:41
  Speaker 9: at last it cometh, and awaketh, and devoureth and engulfeth
• 2:49:45
  Speaker 9: whatever hath built tabernacles upon it. Oh, just look at
• 2:49:50
  Speaker 9: those tabernacles which those priests have built themselves churches they
• 2:49:54
  Speaker 9: call their sweet smelling caves. Oh, that falsified light, that mustified,
• 2:50:00
  Speaker 9: where the soul may not fly aloft to its height.
• 2:50:05
  Speaker 9: But so enjoineth their belief on your knees up the stair,
• 2:50:09
  Speaker 9: ye sinners, Verily, rather would I see a shameless one
• 2:50:13
  Speaker 9: than the distorted eyes of their shame and devotion? Who
• 2:50:18
  Speaker 9: created for themselves such caves and penitent stairs? Was it
• 2:50:22
  Speaker 9: not those who sought to conceal themselves and were ashamed
• 2:50:25
  Speaker 9: under the clear sky? And only when the clear sky
• 2:50:29
  Speaker 9: look at again through ruined roofs, and down upon grass
• 2:50:32
  Speaker 9: and red poppies on ruined walls, while I again turn
• 2:50:36
  Speaker 9: my heart to the seats of this God. They called
• 2:50:40
  Speaker 9: God that which opposed and afflicted them. And verily there
• 2:50:44
  Speaker 9: was much hero spirit in their worship, and they knew
• 2:50:48
  Speaker 9: not how to love their God otherwise, And by nailing
• 2:50:51
  Speaker 9: men to the cross as corpses, they thought to live
• 2:50:56
  Speaker 9: in black draped they their corpses. Even in their talk,
• 2:51:00
  Speaker 9: do I still fill the evil flavor of charnel houses?
• 2:51:04
  Speaker 9: And he who liveth nigh unto them, liveth nigh unto blackpools?
• 2:51:08
  Speaker 9: Wherein the toad singeth this song with sweet gravity? Better songs?
• 2:51:13
  Speaker 9: Would they have to sing for me to believe in
• 2:51:16
  Speaker 9: their savior more like save ones? Would his disciples have
• 2:51:20
  Speaker 9: to appear unto me naked? Would I like to see them?
• 2:51:25
  Speaker 9: For beauty alone should preach penitence. But whom would that
• 2:51:29
  Speaker 9: disguised affliction convince? Verily, their saviors themselves came not from
• 2:51:35
  Speaker 9: freedom and from freedom seventh heaven. Verily, they themselves never
• 2:51:40
  Speaker 9: trod the carpets of knowledge of defects. Did the spirit
• 2:51:45
  Speaker 9: of those saviors consist? But into every defect had they
• 2:51:49
  Speaker 9: put their illusion their stock gap, which they called God?
• 2:51:54
  Speaker 9: In their pity was their spirit drowned, And when they
• 2:51:57
  Speaker 9: swelled and overswelled with pity, there always floated to the
• 2:52:01
  Speaker 9: surface a great folly. Eagerly and with shouts drove they
• 2:52:06
  Speaker 9: their flock over their footbridge, as if there were but
• 2:52:09
  Speaker 9: one footbridge to the future. Verily, those shepherds also were
• 2:52:14
  Speaker 9: still of the flock. Small spirits and spacious souls had
• 2:52:19
  Speaker 9: those shepherds. But my brethren, what small domains have even
• 2:52:23
  Speaker 9: the most spacious souls? Hitherto ben characters of blood? Did
• 2:52:29
  Speaker 9: they write on the way they went? And their folly
• 2:52:31
  Speaker 9: taught the truth is proved by blood. But blood is
• 2:52:35
  Speaker 9: the very worst witness to truth. Blood tainteth the purest
• 2:52:39
  Speaker 9: teaching and turneth it into delusion and hatred of heart.
• 2:52:44
  Speaker 9: And when a person goeth through fire for his teaching,
• 2:52:47
  Speaker 9: what doth that prove? It?
• 2:52:50
  Speaker 8: Is?
• 2:52:50
  Speaker 6: More?
• 2:52:50
  Speaker 9: Verily, when out of one's own burning cometh one's own teaching.
• 2:52:55
  Speaker 9: Sultry heart and cold head, where these meet their arise
• 2:53:00
  Speaker 9: the blusterer the savior. Greater ones, verily have there been,
• 2:53:06
  Speaker 9: and higher born ones than those whom the people call saviors,
• 2:53:10
  Speaker 9: those rapturous blusterers, and by still greater ones than any
• 2:53:14
  Speaker 9: of the saviors. Must ye be saved, my brethren, if
• 2:53:18
  Speaker 9: ye would find the way to freedom. Never yet hath
• 2:53:22
  Speaker 9: there been a superman naked? Have I seen both of them?
• 2:53:26
  Speaker 9: The greatest man and the smallest man, all too similar?
• 2:53:31
  Speaker 9: Are they still to each other? Verily, even the greatest
• 2:53:34
  Speaker 9: found I all too human? Thus spake Zarathustra. End of
• 2:53:44
  Speaker 9: Chapter twenty six, Part two, Chapter twenty seven. The virtuous,
• 2:54:00
  Speaker 9: with thunder and heavenly fireworks. Must one speak to indolent
• 2:54:04
  Speaker 9: and somnolent senses. But Beauty's voice speaketh gently. It appealeth
• 2:54:10
  Speaker 9: only to the most awakened souls, gently vibrated and laughed
• 2:54:17
  Speaker 9: unto me to day, my buckler, It was Beauty's holy
• 2:54:20
  Speaker 9: laughing and thrilling at you. Ye virtuous ones laughed my
• 2:54:25
  Speaker 9: beauty to day, and thus came its voice unto me.
• 2:54:30
  Speaker 9: They want to be paid. Besides, ye want to be paid. Besides, ye,
• 2:54:35
  Speaker 9: virtuous ones, ye want reward for virtue, and Heaven for earth,
• 2:54:39
  Speaker 9: and eternity for your to day. And now ye upbraid
• 2:54:44
  Speaker 9: me for teaching that there is no reward giver nor
• 2:54:47
  Speaker 9: pay master. And verily I do not even teach that
• 2:54:50
  Speaker 9: virtue is its own reward. Ah, this is my sorrow.
• 2:54:55
  Speaker 9: Into the basis of things have reward and punishment been insinuated,
• 2:55:00
  Speaker 9: And now even into the basis of your souls, ye,
• 2:55:03
  Speaker 9: virtuous ones. But like the snout of the boar, shall
• 2:55:08
  Speaker 9: my word grub up the basis of your souls? A plowshare?
• 2:55:12
  Speaker 9: Will I be called by you? All the secrets of
• 2:55:16
  Speaker 9: your heart shall be brought to light. And when ye
• 2:55:19
  Speaker 9: line the sun grubbed up and broken, then will also
• 2:55:22
  Speaker 9: your falsehood be separated from your truth? For this is
• 2:55:28
  Speaker 9: your truth. Ye are too pure for the filth of
• 2:55:32
  Speaker 9: the words vengeance, punishment, recompense, retribution. Ye love your virtue
• 2:55:39
  Speaker 9: as a mother loveth her child. But when did one
• 2:55:42
  Speaker 9: hear of a mother wanting to be paid for her love?
• 2:55:46
  Speaker 9: It is your dear self, your virtue. The ring's thirst
• 2:55:50
  Speaker 9: is in you to reach itself again. Struggleth every ring
• 2:55:54
  Speaker 9: and turneth itself. And like the star that goeth out,
• 2:55:58
  Speaker 9: so is every work of your virtue. Ever is its
• 2:56:02
  Speaker 9: light on your way and traveling? And when will it
• 2:56:04
  Speaker 9: cease to be on its way? Thus is the light
• 2:56:08
  Speaker 9: of your virtue still on its way. Even when its
• 2:56:11
  Speaker 9: work is done, be it forgotten and dead? Still its
• 2:56:15
  Speaker 9: ray of light, liveth and traveleth. That your virtue is yourself,
• 2:56:21
  Speaker 9: and not an outward thing, a skin or a cloak.
• 2:56:24
  Speaker 9: That is the truth, from the basis of your souls,
• 2:56:27
  Speaker 9: ye virtuous ones. But sure enough there are those to
• 2:56:31
  Speaker 9: whom virtue meaneth writhing under the lash, and ye have
• 2:56:35
  Speaker 9: hearkened too much onto their crying. And others are there
• 2:56:39
  Speaker 9: who call virtue the slothfulness of their vices. And when
• 2:56:43
  Speaker 9: once their hatred and jealousy relax the limbs, their justice
• 2:56:48
  Speaker 9: becometh lively and rubbeth its sleepy eyes. And others are
• 2:56:53
  Speaker 9: there who are drawn downwards their devils draw them. But
• 2:56:57
  Speaker 9: the more they sink, the more ardently gloweth their eye,
• 2:57:00
  Speaker 9: and the longing for their god Ah. Their crying also
• 2:57:05
  Speaker 9: has reached your ears. The virtuous ones, what I am
• 2:57:10
  Speaker 9: not that that is God to me? And virtue? And
• 2:57:15
  Speaker 9: others are there who go along heavily and creakingly like
• 2:57:19
  Speaker 9: carts taking stones downhill. They talk much of dignity and virtue.
• 2:57:24
  Speaker 9: Their drag they call virtue. And others are there who
• 2:57:29
  Speaker 9: are like eight day clocks. When wound up, they tick
• 2:57:32
  Speaker 9: and want people to call ticking virtue verily in those
• 2:57:38
  Speaker 9: I have mine amusement. Wherever I find such clocks, I
• 2:57:42
  Speaker 9: shall wind them up with my mockery, and they shall
• 2:57:45
  Speaker 9: even wor thereby. And others are proud of their modicum
• 2:57:50
  Speaker 9: of righteousness, and for the sake of it, do violence
• 2:57:53
  Speaker 9: to all things, so that the world is drowned in
• 2:57:56
  Speaker 9: their unrighteousness. Netley cometh the word virtue out of their mouth.
• 2:58:03
  Speaker 9: And when they say I am just, it always soundeth
• 2:58:06
  Speaker 9: like I am just. Revenged with their virtues, they want
• 2:58:12
  Speaker 9: to scratch out the eyes of their enemies, and they
• 2:58:14
  Speaker 9: elevate themselves only that they may lower others. And again
• 2:58:20
  Speaker 9: there are those who would sit in their swamp and
• 2:58:22
  Speaker 9: speak thus from among the bullrushes virtue, that is, to
• 2:58:27
  Speaker 9: sit quietly in the swamp. We bite no one, and
• 2:58:30
  Speaker 9: go out of the way of him who would bite.
• 2:58:33
  Speaker 9: And in all matters we have the opinion that is
• 2:58:35
  Speaker 9: given us. And again there are those who love attitudes
• 2:58:41
  Speaker 9: and think that virtue is a sort of attitude. Their
• 2:58:44
  Speaker 9: knees continually adore in their hands are eulogies of virtue,
• 2:58:49
  Speaker 9: but their heart knoweth not thereof. And again there are
• 2:58:53
  Speaker 9: those who regard it as virtue to say virtue is necessary.
• 2:58:58
  Speaker 9: But after all they believe only that the policemen are necessary.
• 2:59:03
  Speaker 9: And many a one who cannot see men's loftiness calleth
• 2:59:06
  Speaker 9: it virtue to see their baseness far too well. Thus
• 2:59:10
  Speaker 9: calleth he his evil eye virtue. And some want to
• 2:59:16
  Speaker 9: be edified and raised up and call it virtue, and
• 2:59:19
  Speaker 9: others want to be cast down and likewise call it virtue.
• 2:59:24
  Speaker 9: And thus do almost all think that they participate in virtue.
• 2:59:28
  Speaker 9: And at least everyone claimeth to be an authority on
• 2:59:31
  Speaker 9: good and evil. But Zarathustra came not to say, unto
• 2:59:36
  Speaker 9: all those liars and fools, what do ye know of virtue?
• 2:59:40
  Speaker 9: What could ye know of virtue? But that ye, my friends,
• 2:59:44
  Speaker 9: might become weary of the old words which ye have
• 2:59:46
  Speaker 9: learned from the fools and liars, That ye might become
• 2:59:51
  Speaker 9: weary of the words reward, retribution, punishment, righteous vengeance, that
• 2:59:59
  Speaker 9: ye might become weir of saying that an action is
• 3:00:02
  Speaker 9: good is because it is unselfish. Ah, my friends, that
• 3:00:08
  Speaker 9: your very self be in your action, as the mother
• 3:00:11
  Speaker 9: is in the child. Let that be your formula of virtue.
• 3:00:16
  Speaker 9: Verily I have taken upon you one hundred formulae and
• 3:00:19
  Speaker 9: your virtue's favorite playthings. And now ye upbraid me, as
• 3:00:23
  Speaker 9: children upbraid. They played by the sea. Then came their
• 3:00:28
  Speaker 9: wave and swept their playthings into the deep. And now
• 3:00:31
  Speaker 9: do they cry. But the same wave shall bring them
• 3:00:36
  Speaker 9: new playthings, and spread before them new speckled shells. Thus
• 3:00:41
  Speaker 9: will they be comforted, And like them shall ye also,
• 3:00:44
  Speaker 9: my friends, have your comforting and new speckled shells. Thus
• 3:00:49
  Speaker 9: spake Zarathustra. End of Chapter twenty seven, Part two, Chapter
• 3:01:05
  Speaker 9: twenty eight. The rabble life is well of delight. But
• 3:01:13
  Speaker 9: where the rabble also drink, they're all fountains are poisoned
• 3:01:18
  Speaker 9: to everything cleanly. I am well disposed, but I hate
• 3:01:22
  Speaker 9: to see the grinning mouths in the thirst of the unclean.
• 3:01:27
  Speaker 9: They cast their eye down into the fountain, and now
• 3:01:30
  Speaker 9: it glanceth up to me their odious smile out of
• 3:01:33
  Speaker 9: the fountain. The holy water have they poison with their lustfulness.
• 3:01:38
  Speaker 9: And when they called their filthy dreams delight, then poison
• 3:01:42
  Speaker 9: they also The words indignant becometh a flame. When they
• 3:01:48
  Speaker 9: put their damp heart to the fire, the spirit itself
• 3:01:51
  Speaker 9: bubbleth and smoketh. When the rabble approacheth the fire mawkish
• 3:01:57
  Speaker 9: and overmellow, becometh the fruit in their hands, steady and
• 3:02:00
  Speaker 9: withered at the top, doth their look make the fruit tree.
• 3:02:05
  Speaker 9: And many a one who hath turned away from life
• 3:02:08
  Speaker 9: hath only turned away from the rabble. He hated to
• 3:02:11
  Speaker 9: share with them fountain, flame and fruit. And many a
• 3:02:16
  Speaker 9: one who hath gone into the wilderness and suffered thirst
• 3:02:19
  Speaker 9: with beasts of prey, disliked only to sit at the
• 3:02:23
  Speaker 9: cistern with filthy camel drivers. And many a one who
• 3:02:27
  Speaker 9: hath come along as a destroyer and as a hailstorm
• 3:02:31
  Speaker 9: to all corn fields, wanted merely to put his foot
• 3:02:34
  Speaker 9: into the jaws of the rabble, and thus stopped their throat.
• 3:02:38
  Speaker 9: And it is not the mouthful which hath most choked
• 3:02:41
  Speaker 9: me to know that life itself requireth enmity, and death
• 3:02:44
  Speaker 9: and torture crosses. But I asked once, and suffocated almost
• 3:02:50
  Speaker 9: with my question, what is the rabble? Also necessary for life?
• 3:02:56
  Speaker 9: Are poisoned fountains, necessary in stinking fire, in filthy dreams,
• 3:03:01
  Speaker 9: and maggots in the bread of life? Not my hatred,
• 3:03:05
  Speaker 9: but my loathing, not hungrily at my life. Ah ofttimes
• 3:03:11
  Speaker 9: became I weary of spirit when I found even the
• 3:03:14
  Speaker 9: rabble spiritual, and on the rulers turned eye my back
• 3:03:19
  Speaker 9: when I saw what they now call ruling to traffic
• 3:03:22
  Speaker 9: and bargain for power with the rabble amongst peoples of
• 3:03:27
  Speaker 9: a strange language? Did I dwell with stopped ears? So
• 3:03:31
  Speaker 9: that the language of their trafficking might remain strange unto me,
• 3:03:35
  Speaker 9: and their bargaining for power? And holding my nose? I
• 3:03:39
  Speaker 9: went morosely through all yesterdays into days, verily badly smell
• 3:03:44
  Speaker 9: all yesterdays into days of the scribbling rabble, like a cripple,
• 3:03:50
  Speaker 9: become deaf and blind and dumb. Thus have I lived
• 3:03:54
  Speaker 9: long that I might not live with the power rabble,
• 3:03:57
  Speaker 9: the scribe rabble, and the pleasure rabble toilsomely? Did my
• 3:04:02
  Speaker 9: spirit mount stairs? And cautiously alms of delight were its
• 3:04:06
  Speaker 9: refreshment on the staff? Did life creep along with the
• 3:04:11
  Speaker 9: blind one? What hath happened unto me? How have I
• 3:04:15
  Speaker 9: freed myself from loathing? Who hath rejuvenated mine eye? How
• 3:04:21
  Speaker 9: have I flown to the height where no rabble any
• 3:04:24
  Speaker 9: longer sit at the wells? Did my loathing itself create
• 3:04:29
  Speaker 9: for me? Wings and fountain divining powers verily to the
• 3:04:33
  Speaker 9: loftiest height. Had I to fly to find again the
• 3:04:36
  Speaker 9: well of delight? Oh, I have founded my brethren here
• 3:04:42
  Speaker 9: on the loftiest height. Bubbleth up for me the well
• 3:04:45
  Speaker 9: of delight, And there is a life at whose waters
• 3:04:48
  Speaker 9: none of the rabble drink with me? Almost too violently,
• 3:04:53
  Speaker 9: dost thou flow for me, thou fountain of delight? And
• 3:04:56
  Speaker 9: often emptiest thou the goblet again in wanting to feel it?
• 3:05:02
  Speaker 9: And yet I must learn to approach thee more modestly,
• 3:05:06
  Speaker 9: far too violently, doth my heart still flow towards thee,
• 3:05:10
  Speaker 9: my heart on which my summer burneth, my short, hot,
• 3:05:13
  Speaker 9: melancholy over happy summer, How my summer heart longeth for
• 3:05:18
  Speaker 9: thy coolness, past the lingering distress of my spring, past
• 3:05:24
  Speaker 9: the wickedness of my snowflakes. In June summer? Have I
• 3:05:28
  Speaker 9: become entirely and summer noontide a summer on the loftiest height,
• 3:05:35
  Speaker 9: with cold fountains and blissful stillness. Oh come, my friends,
• 3:05:39
  Speaker 9: that the stillness may become more blissful. For this is
• 3:05:43
  Speaker 9: our height and our home. Too high and steep. Do
• 3:05:47
  Speaker 9: we here dwell for all uncleanly ones and their thirst.
• 3:05:52
  Speaker 9: Cast but your pure eyes into the well of my delight,
• 3:05:55
  Speaker 9: my friends, how could it become turbid? Thereby it shall
• 3:05:59
  Speaker 9: last back to you with its purity, on the tree
• 3:06:04
  Speaker 9: of the future. Build we our nest. Eagles shall bring
• 3:06:08
  Speaker 9: us lone one's food in their beaks. Verily, no food
• 3:06:13
  Speaker 9: of which the impure could be fellow partakers fire, would
• 3:06:17
  Speaker 9: they think they devoured and burned their mouths. Verily no
• 3:06:22
  Speaker 9: abodes do we here keep ready for the impure? An
• 3:06:26
  Speaker 9: ice cave to their bodies, would our happiness be? And
• 3:06:29
  Speaker 9: to their spirits? And as strong winds will we live
• 3:06:33
  Speaker 9: above them, neighbors to the eagles, neighbors to the snow,
• 3:06:38
  Speaker 9: neighbors to the sun. Thus live the strong winds. And
• 3:06:43
  Speaker 9: like a wind, will I one day blow amongst them,
• 3:06:47
  Speaker 9: and with my spirit take the breath from their spirit.
• 3:06:50
  Speaker 9: Thus willeth my future. Verily a strong wind is Zarathustra
• 3:06:56
  Speaker 9: to all low places, And this council counselth he to
• 3:07:00
  Speaker 9: his enemies, and to whatever spitteth and speweth, take care
• 3:07:05
  Speaker 9: not to spit against the wind. Thus spake Zarathustra. End
• 3:07:12
  Speaker 9: of Chapter twenty eight, Part two, Chapter twenty nine. The
• 3:07:21
  Speaker 9: tarantulas lo This is the tarantuli's den. Wouldst thou see
• 3:07:29
  Speaker 9: the tarantula itself here hangeth its web, touch this so
• 3:07:34
  Speaker 9: that it may tremble. Here cometh the tarantula willingly welcome. Tarantula.
• 3:07:41
  Speaker 9: Black on thy back is thy triangle and symbol. And
• 3:07:44
  Speaker 9: I know also what is in thy soul. Revenge is
• 3:07:49
  Speaker 9: in thy soul. Wherever if thou bitest, there arise at
• 3:07:53
  Speaker 9: black scab with revenge. Thy poison maketh the soul giddy.
• 3:07:59
  Speaker 9: Thus I speak unto you in parable, ye who make
• 3:08:02
  Speaker 9: the soule giddy? Ye, preachers of equality. Tarantulas are ye
• 3:08:07
  Speaker 9: unto me and secretly revengeful ones. But I will soon
• 3:08:12
  Speaker 9: bring your hiding places to the light. Therefore do I
• 3:08:16
  Speaker 9: laugh in your face, my laughter of the height. Therefore
• 3:08:21
  Speaker 9: do I tear at your web, that your rage may
• 3:08:23
  Speaker 9: lure you out of your den of lies, and that
• 3:08:26
  Speaker 9: your revenge may leap forth from behind your word justice.
• 3:08:31
  Speaker 9: Because for man to be redeemed for revenge, that is
• 3:08:36
  Speaker 9: for me the bridge to the highest hope, and a
• 3:08:38
  Speaker 9: rainbow after long storms. Otherwise, however, would the tarantulas have it?
• 3:08:45
  Speaker 9: Let it be very justice for the world to become
• 3:08:48
  Speaker 9: full of the storms of our vengeance. Thus do they
• 3:08:51
  Speaker 9: talk to one another vengeance, will we use and insult
• 3:08:56
  Speaker 9: against all who are not like us? Thus do the
• 3:09:00
  Speaker 9: RTLA hearts pledge themselves and will to equality, that itself
• 3:09:05
  Speaker 9: shall henceforth be the name of virtue. And against all
• 3:09:09
  Speaker 9: that hath power, will we raise and outcry, ye, preachers
• 3:09:14
  Speaker 9: of equality, The tyrant frenzy of impotence crieth us in
• 3:09:18
  Speaker 9: you for equality, your most secret tyrant longings disguise themselves.
• 3:09:23
  Speaker 9: Thus in virtue words fred it conceit and suppressed envy.
• 3:09:28
  Speaker 9: Perhaps your fathers concede and envy, and you break they
• 3:09:32
  Speaker 9: forth as flame and frenzy of vengeance. What the Father
• 3:09:37
  Speaker 9: hath hid cometh out in the sun, And oft have
• 3:09:40
  Speaker 9: I found in the son The fathers revealed secret inspired
• 3:09:45
  Speaker 9: ones they resemble. But it is not the heart that
• 3:09:48
  Speaker 9: inspireth them, but vengeance. And when they become subtle and cold,
• 3:09:53
  Speaker 9: it is not spirit but envy that maketh them. So
• 3:09:58
  Speaker 9: their jealousy leadeth thing them also into thinkers paths. And
• 3:10:02
  Speaker 9: this is the sign of their jealousy. They always go
• 3:10:05
  Speaker 9: too far, so that their fatigue hath at last to
• 3:10:08
  Speaker 9: go to sleep on the snow, and all their lamentations
• 3:10:13
  Speaker 9: soundeth vengeance, and all their eulogies is maleficence, and being
• 3:10:18
  Speaker 9: judged seemeth to them bliss. But thus do I counsel you,
• 3:10:23
  Speaker 9: my friends, Distrust all in whom the impulse to punish
• 3:10:26
  Speaker 9: is powerful. They are people of bad race and lineage.
• 3:10:31
  Speaker 9: Out of their countenances peer, the hangman and the sleuth hound.
• 3:10:36
  Speaker 9: Distrust all those who talk much of their justice barely
• 3:10:40
  Speaker 9: in their souls. Not only honey is lacking. And when
• 3:10:45
  Speaker 9: they call themselves the good and just, forget not that
• 3:10:48
  Speaker 9: for them to be pharisees. Nothing is lacking but power,
• 3:10:53
  Speaker 9: My friends, I will not be mixed up and confounded
• 3:10:56
  Speaker 9: with others. There are those who preach my doctrine of
• 3:11:00
  Speaker 9: life and are at the same time preachers of equality
• 3:11:04
  Speaker 9: and tarantulas. That they speak in favor of life, though
• 3:11:08
  Speaker 9: they sit in their den, these poisoned spiders and withdrawn
• 3:11:12
  Speaker 9: from life, is because they would thereby due injury to
• 3:11:17
  Speaker 9: those would they thereby do injury who have power at present?
• 3:11:21
  Speaker 9: For with those the preaching of death is still most
• 3:11:24
  Speaker 9: at home. Were it otherwise, than would the tarantulists teach otherwise,
• 3:11:29
  Speaker 9: and they themselves were formerly the best world maligners and
• 3:11:33
  Speaker 9: heretic burners. With these preachers of equality, will I not
• 3:11:39
  Speaker 9: be mixed up and confounded? For thus speaketh justice unto me?
• 3:11:44
  Speaker 9: Men are not equal, and either shall they become? So?
• 3:11:49
  Speaker 9: What would be my love to the Superman? If I
• 3:11:52
  Speaker 9: spake otherwise on a thousand bridges and peers? Shall they
• 3:11:56
  Speaker 9: throng to the future? And always shall there be more
• 3:12:00
  Speaker 9: war and inequality among them? Thus doth my great love
• 3:12:04
  Speaker 9: make me speak in vendors of figures and phantoms? Shall
• 3:12:09
  Speaker 9: they be in their hostilities? And with those figures and phantoms?
• 3:12:13
  Speaker 9: Shall they yet fight with each other? The Supreme fight
• 3:12:17
  Speaker 9: good and evil, and rich and poor, and high and low,
• 3:12:21
  Speaker 9: in all names of values weapons? Shall they be in
• 3:12:25
  Speaker 9: sounding signs that life must again and again surpass itself aloft?
• 3:12:31
  Speaker 9: Will it build itself with columns and stairs? Life itself
• 3:12:36
  Speaker 9: into remote distances? Would it gaze and out towards blissful beauties? Therefore,
• 3:12:42
  Speaker 9: doth it require elevation? And because it requireth elevation, therefore
• 3:12:47
  Speaker 9: doth it requires steps and variants of steps and climbers
• 3:12:52
  Speaker 9: to rise striveth life and in rising to surpass itself.
• 3:12:57
  Speaker 9: And just behold, my friends, where the tarantula's den is
• 3:13:01
  Speaker 9: rise at a loft and ancient temple's ruins. Just behold
• 3:13:05
  Speaker 9: it with enlightened eyes. Verily, he who here towered aloft
• 3:13:10
  Speaker 9: his thoughts in stone knew as well as the wisest
• 3:13:13
  Speaker 9: ones about the secrets of life, that there is struggle
• 3:13:17
  Speaker 9: and inequality even in beauty, and war for power and supremacy.
• 3:13:22
  Speaker 9: That doth he here teach us in the plainest parable,
• 3:13:26
  Speaker 9: how divinely DeVault and art here contrast in the struggle,
• 3:13:30
  Speaker 9: how with light and shade they strive against each other,
• 3:13:34
  Speaker 9: the divinely striving ones. Thus, steadfast and beautiful, let us
• 3:13:39
  Speaker 9: also be enemies, my friends, divinely will we strive against
• 3:13:44
  Speaker 9: one another. Alas there hath the tarantula bit me myself
• 3:13:49
  Speaker 9: mine old enemy, divinely steadfast and beautiful it hath bit
• 3:13:54
  Speaker 9: me on the finger. Punishment must there be, and justice,
• 3:13:59
  Speaker 9: So thinketh it not gratuitously shall hear he sing songs
• 3:14:03
  Speaker 9: in honor of enemity. Yea it hath revenged itself, And
• 3:14:08
  Speaker 9: alas now it will make my soul also dizzy with
• 3:14:11
  Speaker 9: revenge that I may not turn dizzy. However, bind me fast,
• 3:14:16
  Speaker 9: my friends to this pillar. Rather will I be a
• 3:14:20
  Speaker 9: pillar saint than a whirl of vengeance. Verily, no cyclone
• 3:14:25
  Speaker 9: or whirlwind is Zarathustra. And if he be a dancer,
• 3:14:29
  Speaker 9: he is not at all a tarantula dancer. Thus spake Zarathustra.
• 3:14:37
  Speaker 9: End of Chapter twenty nine, Part two, Chapter thirty. The
• 3:14:46
  Speaker 9: famous wise Ones. The people have ye served in the
• 3:14:52
  Speaker 9: people's superstition, not the truth, all, ye famous wise ones.
• 3:14:58
  Speaker 9: And just on that account they pay you reverence. And
• 3:15:02
  Speaker 9: on that account also did they tolerate your unbelief because
• 3:15:06
  Speaker 9: it was a pleasantry and a bypath for the people.
• 3:15:09
  Speaker 9: Thus doth the master give free scope to his slaves,
• 3:15:13
  Speaker 9: and even enjoyeth their presumptuousness. But he who is hated
• 3:15:18
  Speaker 9: by the people as the wolf by the dogs, is
• 3:15:21
  Speaker 9: the free spirit, the enemy of fetters, the non adore
• 3:15:25
  Speaker 9: dweller in the woods, to hunt him out of his
• 3:15:29
  Speaker 9: lair that was always called sense of right by the
• 3:15:32
  Speaker 9: people on him, do they still hound their sharpest toothed dogs,
• 3:15:38
  Speaker 9: For there the truth is where the people are. Woe
• 3:15:41
  Speaker 9: woe to the seeking ones. Thus has it echoed through
• 3:15:44
  Speaker 9: all time. Your people, would ye justify in their reverence
• 3:15:49
  Speaker 9: that called ye wil to truth, Ye famous wise ones,
• 3:15:53
  Speaker 9: And your heart hath always said to itself, From the
• 3:15:57
  Speaker 9: people have I come from? Thence came to me also
• 3:16:00
  Speaker 9: the voice of God. Stiff necked and artful like the
• 3:16:05
  Speaker 9: ass have ye always been as the advocates of the people,
• 3:16:09
  Speaker 9: and many a powerful one who wanted to run well
• 3:16:12
  Speaker 9: with the people. Hath harnessed in front of his horses,
• 3:16:15
  Speaker 9: a donkey, a famous wise man. And now ye, famous
• 3:16:20
  Speaker 9: wise ones, I would have you finally throw off entirely
• 3:16:23
  Speaker 9: the skin of the lion, the skin of the beast
• 3:16:27
  Speaker 9: of prey, the speckled skin, and the disheveled locks of
• 3:16:30
  Speaker 9: the investigator, the searcher, and the conqueror.
• 3:16:34
  Speaker 10: Ah.
• 3:16:35
  Speaker 9: For me to learn to believe in your conscientiousness, ye
• 3:16:38
  Speaker 9: would first have to break your venerating will conscientious. So
• 3:16:43
  Speaker 9: call I him who goeth into god forsaken wildernesses, And
• 3:16:47
  Speaker 9: hath broken his venerating heart in the yellow sands, and
• 3:16:51
  Speaker 9: burnt by the sun. He doubtless peres thirstily at the
• 3:16:55
  Speaker 9: isles rich in fountains, where life reposeth under shady trees.
• 3:17:01
  Speaker 9: But his thirst doth not persuade him to become like
• 3:17:04
  Speaker 9: those comfortable ones. For where there are oases, there are
• 3:17:08
  Speaker 9: also idols, hungry, fierce, lonesome, god forsaken. So doth the
• 3:17:15
  Speaker 9: lion will wish itself free from the happiness of slaves,
• 3:17:20
  Speaker 9: redeemed from deities and adorations, fearless and fear inspiring, grand
• 3:17:25
  Speaker 9: and lonesome. So is the will of the conscientious. In
• 3:17:30
  Speaker 9: the wilderness have ever dwelt the conscientious the free spirits
• 3:17:34
  Speaker 9: as lords of the wilderness. But in the cities dwell
• 3:17:37
  Speaker 9: the well foddered, famous, wise ones, the drought beasts. For
• 3:17:42
  Speaker 9: always do they draw as asses the people's carts, Not
• 3:17:48
  Speaker 9: that I on that account upbraid them. But serving ones
• 3:17:52
  Speaker 9: do they remain and harnessed ones, even though they glitter
• 3:17:56
  Speaker 9: in golden harness. And often have they been good servants
• 3:18:00
  Speaker 9: and worthy of their hire. For thus saith virtue. If
• 3:18:05
  Speaker 9: thou must be a servant, seek him under whom thy
• 3:18:08
  Speaker 9: service is most useful. The spirit and virtue of thy
• 3:18:12
  Speaker 9: master shall advance by thou being his servant. Thus wilt
• 3:18:16
  Speaker 9: thou thy self advance with his spirit and virtue. And verily,
• 3:18:21
  Speaker 9: ye famous, wise ones, ye servants are the people ye
• 3:18:25
  Speaker 9: yourselves have advanced with the people's spirit and virtue, and
• 3:18:28
  Speaker 9: the people by you to your honor, do I say it,
• 3:18:33
  Speaker 9: but the people ye remain for me, even with your virtues,
• 3:18:37
  Speaker 9: the people with purblind eyes, the people who know not
• 3:18:40
  Speaker 9: what spirit is. Spirit is life, which itself cutteth into
• 3:18:45
  Speaker 9: life by its own torture. Doth it increase its own knowledge?
• 3:18:50
  Speaker 9: Did ye know that before and the Spirit's happiness is
• 3:18:54
  Speaker 9: this to be anointed and consecrated with tears as a
• 3:18:59
  Speaker 9: sacrificial victim. Did ye know that before and the blindness
• 3:19:04
  Speaker 9: of the blind one, and his seeking and groping, shall
• 3:19:07
  Speaker 9: yet testify to the power of the sun into which
• 3:19:10
  Speaker 9: ye hath gazed. Did ye know that before and with
• 3:19:14
  Speaker 9: mountain shall the discerning one learn to build? It is
• 3:19:17
  Speaker 9: a small thing for the spirit to remove mountains. Did
• 3:19:20
  Speaker 9: ye know that? Before ye know only the sparks of
• 3:19:24
  Speaker 9: the spirit, But ye do not see the anvil which
• 3:19:27
  Speaker 9: it is, and the cruelty of its hammer. Verily ye
• 3:19:31
  Speaker 9: know not the Spirit's pride. But still less could ye
• 3:19:35
  Speaker 9: endure the spirit's humility should it ever want to speak?
• 3:19:39
  Speaker 9: And never yet could ye cast your spirit into a
• 3:19:42
  Speaker 9: pit of snow year not hot enough for that? Thus
• 3:19:47
  Speaker 9: are ye unaware also of the delight of its coldness?
• 3:19:52
  Speaker 9: In all respects, however, ye make too familiar with the spirit,
• 3:19:56
  Speaker 9: and out of wisdom have ye often made an almshouse
• 3:20:00
  Speaker 9: in a hospital for bad poets? Ye are not eagles?
• 3:20:04
  Speaker 9: Thus have ye never experienced the happiness of the alarm
• 3:20:07
  Speaker 9: of the spirit. And he who was not a bird
• 3:20:10
  Speaker 9: should not camp above abysses? Ye seem to me lukewarm ones,
• 3:20:16
  Speaker 9: but coldly floweth all deep knowledge? Ice cold are the
• 3:20:20
  Speaker 9: innermost wells of the spirit, or a freshmen to hot
• 3:20:22
  Speaker 9: hands and handlers respectable? Do ye there stand and stiff
• 3:20:28
  Speaker 9: and with straight backs, ye famous wise ones? No strong
• 3:20:32
  Speaker 9: wind or will impelleth you. Have ye ne'er seen a
• 3:20:35
  Speaker 9: sail crossing the sea, rounded and inflated, and trembling with
• 3:20:39
  Speaker 9: the violence of the wind. Like the sail trembling with
• 3:20:43
  Speaker 9: the violence of the spirit. Doth my wisdom cross the sea,
• 3:20:46
  Speaker 9: my wild wisdom? But ye servants of the people, ye
• 3:20:51
  Speaker 9: famous wise ones, How could ye go with me? Thus
• 3:20:56
  Speaker 9: spake Zarathustra. End of Chapter thirty Part two, Chapter thirty one.
• 3:21:09
  Speaker 9: The night song tis night. Now do all gushing fountains
• 3:21:15
  Speaker 9: speak louder, and my soul also is a gushing fountain.
• 3:21:21
  Speaker 9: Tis night now only do all songs of the loving
• 3:21:24
  Speaker 9: ones awake, And my soul also is the song of
• 3:21:28
  Speaker 9: a loving one. Something unappeased, unappeasable is within me. It
• 3:21:35
  Speaker 9: longeth to find expression. A craving for love is within me,
• 3:21:39
  Speaker 9: which speaketh itself the language of love. Light am I,
• 3:21:44
  Speaker 9: Ah that I were night? But it is my lonesomeness
• 3:21:48
  Speaker 9: to be begirt with light? Ah, that I were dark
• 3:21:52
  Speaker 9: and nightly? How would I suck at the breasts of
• 3:21:55
  Speaker 9: light and you yourselves? Would I bless ye twinkling starlets,
• 3:22:00
  Speaker 9: worms aloft, and would rejoice in the gifts of your light?
• 3:22:05
  Speaker 9: But I live in my own light. I drink again
• 3:22:08
  Speaker 9: into myself the flames that break forth from me. I
• 3:22:12
  Speaker 9: know not the happiness of the receiver, And oft have
• 3:22:15
  Speaker 9: I dreamt that stealing must be more blessed than receiving.
• 3:22:20
  Speaker 9: It is my poverty that my hand never ceaseth bestowing.
• 3:22:24
  Speaker 9: It is mine envy that I see waiting eyes and
• 3:22:27
  Speaker 9: the brightened nights of longing. Oh the misery of all
• 3:22:32
  Speaker 9: the stowers, Oh the darkening of my sun, Oh the
• 3:22:36
  Speaker 9: craving to crave of the violent hunger and satiety they
• 3:22:42
  Speaker 9: take for me. But do I yet touch their soul?
• 3:22:45
  Speaker 9: There is a gap TwixT giving and receiving, and the
• 3:22:48
  Speaker 9: smallest gap hath finally to be bridged over A hunger
• 3:22:53
  Speaker 9: ariseth out of my beauty. I should like to injure
• 3:22:56
  Speaker 9: those I illumine. I should like to rob those I
• 3:22:59
  Speaker 9: have gifted. Thus do I hunger for wickedness? Withdrawing my
• 3:23:04
  Speaker 9: hand what another hand already stretcheth out to it, hesitating
• 3:23:08
  Speaker 9: like the cascade which hesitateth even in its leap. Thus
• 3:23:12
  Speaker 9: do I hunger for wickedness? Such revenge doth mine abundance?
• 3:23:16
  Speaker 9: Think of such mischief welleth out of my lonesomeness. My
• 3:23:21
  Speaker 9: happiness in bestowing died in bestowing. My virtue became weary
• 3:23:26
  Speaker 9: of itself by its abundance. He whoever bestoweth is in
• 3:23:30
  Speaker 9: danger of losing his shame to him whoever dispenseth. The
• 3:23:35
  Speaker 9: hand and heart become callous by very dispensing. Mine eye
• 3:23:40
  Speaker 9: no longer overfloweth for the shame of suppliance. My hand
• 3:23:44
  Speaker 9: hath become too hard for the trembling of filled hands.
• 3:23:48
  Speaker 9: Whence have gone the tears of mine eye and the
• 3:23:51
  Speaker 9: down of my heart. Oh, the lonesomeness of all bestowers, Oh,
• 3:23:56
  Speaker 9: the silence of all shining ones. Many suns circle in
• 3:24:01
  Speaker 9: desert space to all that is dark, do they speak
• 3:24:05
  Speaker 9: their light? But to me they are silent. Oh, this
• 3:24:10
  Speaker 9: is the hostility of light to the shining one. Unpityingly?
• 3:24:14
  Speaker 9: Doth it pursue its course? Unfair to the shining one
• 3:24:19
  Speaker 9: in its innermost heart? Cold to the sun's Thus traveleth
• 3:24:23
  Speaker 9: every sun like a storm. Do the suns pursue their courses?
• 3:24:29
  Speaker 9: That is their traveling, their inexorable will? Do they follow?
• 3:24:34
  Speaker 9: That is their coldness?
• 3:24:37
  Speaker 7: Oh?
• 3:24:37
  Speaker 9: Ye only is it ye dark nightly ones that extract
• 3:24:41
  Speaker 9: warmth from the shining ones. Oh ye only drink milk
• 3:24:45
  Speaker 9: and refreshment from the lights utters. Ah, there is ice
• 3:24:49
  Speaker 9: around me. My hand burneth with the iciness. Ah, there
• 3:24:53
  Speaker 9: is thirst in me. It panteth after your thirst. Tis night,
• 3:24:59
  Speaker 9: alas that I have to be light and thirst for
• 3:25:03
  Speaker 9: the nightly and lonesomeness. Tis night. Now, doth my longing
• 3:25:08
  Speaker 9: break forth in me as a fountain for speech? Do
• 3:25:11
  Speaker 9: I long? Tis night? Now? Do all gushing fountains speak louder,
• 3:25:18
  Speaker 9: and my soul also is a gushing fountain. Tis night.
• 3:25:24
  Speaker 9: Now do all songs of loving ones awake? And my
• 3:25:28
  Speaker 9: soul also is the song of a loving one. Thus
• 3:25:32
  Speaker 9: sang Zarathustra. End of Chapter thirty one, Part two, Chapter
• 3:25:44
  Speaker 9: thirty two, The Dance Song. One evening went Zarathustra and
• 3:25:50
  Speaker 9: his disciples through the forest, and when he sought for
• 3:25:53
  Speaker 9: a well low he lighted upon a green meadow, peacefully
• 3:25:57
  Speaker 9: surrounded with trees and bushes, where maiden were dancing together.
• 3:26:02
  Speaker 9: As soon as the maidens recognize Zarathustra, they cease dancing. Zarathustra, however,
• 3:26:08
  Speaker 9: reproached them with friendly mien and spake these words, cease
• 3:26:12
  Speaker 9: not your dancing, ye lovely maidens. No game spoiler. Hath
• 3:26:16
  Speaker 9: come to you with evil eye? No enemy of maidens,
• 3:26:21
  Speaker 9: God's advocate? Am I with the devil? He, however, is
• 3:26:24
  Speaker 9: the spirit of gravity. How could I, ye lightfooted ones,
• 3:26:29
  Speaker 9: be hostile to divine dances or to maiden's feet with
• 3:26:32
  Speaker 9: fine ankles? To be sure, I am a forest and
• 3:26:37
  Speaker 9: a knight of dark trees. But he was not afraid
• 3:26:40
  Speaker 9: of my darkness. Will find banks full of roses under
• 3:26:43
  Speaker 9: my sigh presses, and even the little God may he
• 3:26:47
  Speaker 9: find who is dearest to maidens? Beside the well liath
• 3:26:51
  Speaker 9: he quietly with closed eyes, verily in broad daylight? Did
• 3:26:56
  Speaker 9: he fall asleep? The sluggard? Had he perhaps chased butterfly
• 3:27:00
  Speaker 9: too much? Upbraid me not, ye beautiful dancers. When I
• 3:27:04
  Speaker 9: chasten the Little God somewhat, he will cry, certainly and weep,
• 3:27:09
  Speaker 9: but he is laughable even when weeping, And with tears
• 3:27:13
  Speaker 9: in his eyes. Shall he ask you for a dance,
• 3:27:16
  Speaker 9: And I myself will sing a song to his dance,
• 3:27:20
  Speaker 9: a dance song and satire on the spirit of gravity,
• 3:27:23
  Speaker 9: my supremest, powerfulest devil, who is said to be lord
• 3:27:27
  Speaker 9: of the world. And this is the song that Zarathustra
• 3:27:32
  Speaker 9: sang when Cupid and the maidens danced together. Of late,
• 3:27:36
  Speaker 9: did I gaze into thine eye O life, and into
• 3:27:40
  Speaker 9: the unfathomable? Did I there seem to sink? But thou
• 3:27:44
  Speaker 9: pull'dest me out with a golden angle derisively? Didst thou
• 3:27:49
  Speaker 9: laugh when I called the unfathomable? Such is the language
• 3:27:53
  Speaker 9: of all fish, saidest thou. What they do not fathom
• 3:27:57
  Speaker 9: is unfathomable, changeable. Am I only and wild and altogether
• 3:28:02
  Speaker 9: a woman, and no virtuous one, thoughhy be called by
• 3:28:06
  Speaker 9: you men the profound one, or the faithful one, the
• 3:28:10
  Speaker 9: eternal one, the mysterious one. But ye men endow us
• 3:28:15
  Speaker 9: always with your own virtue, alas ye virtuous ones. Thus
• 3:28:20
  Speaker 9: did she laugh, the unbelievable one, But never do I
• 3:28:23
  Speaker 9: believe her and her laughter when she speaketh evil of herself.
• 3:28:28
  Speaker 9: And when I talked face to face with my wild wisdom,
• 3:28:32
  Speaker 9: she said to me angrily, thou willest thou cravest thou
• 3:28:36
  Speaker 9: lovest on that account alone dost thou praise life? Then
• 3:28:42
  Speaker 9: had I almost answered indignantly and told the truth to
• 3:28:45
  Speaker 9: the angry one. And one cannot answer more indignantly than
• 3:28:49
  Speaker 9: when one telleth the truth to one's wisdom. For thus
• 3:28:54
  Speaker 9: do things stand with us? Three in my heart do
• 3:28:58
  Speaker 9: I love only life, and verily most when I hate her,
• 3:29:03
  Speaker 9: But that I am fond of wisdom, and often too fond,
• 3:29:06
  Speaker 9: It is because she remindeth me very strongly of life.
• 3:29:11
  Speaker 9: She hath her eye, her laugh, and even her golden angle.
• 3:29:14
  Speaker 9: Rod Am I responsible for it that both are so alike?
• 3:29:19
  Speaker 9: And when once life asked me who is she? Then
• 3:29:22
  Speaker 9: this wisdom? Then I said eagerly, Ah, Yes, wisdom, one
• 3:29:28
  Speaker 9: thirsteth for her and is not satisfied. One looketh through veils,
• 3:29:32
  Speaker 9: one graspeth through nets. Is she beautiful? What do I know?
• 3:29:38
  Speaker 9: But the oldest carps are still lured by her? Changeable
• 3:29:42
  Speaker 9: is she? And wayward? Often have I seen her bite
• 3:29:45
  Speaker 9: her lip and pass the comb against the grain of
• 3:29:47
  Speaker 9: her hair. Perhaps she is wicked and false, and altogether
• 3:29:51
  Speaker 9: a woman. But when she speaketh ill of herself, just
• 3:29:54
  Speaker 9: then doth she seduced most? When I had said that
• 3:30:00
  Speaker 9: son to life? Then laughed she maliciously and shut her eyes.
• 3:30:04
  Speaker 9: Of whom dost thou speak? Said she? Perhaps of me?
• 3:30:09
  Speaker 9: And if thou wert right, is it proper to say
• 3:30:12
  Speaker 9: that in such wise to my face? But now pray
• 3:30:16
  Speaker 9: speak also of thy wisdom. Ah. And now hast thou
• 3:30:20
  Speaker 9: again open thine eyes, O, beloved life, And into the unfathomable?
• 3:30:25
  Speaker 9: Have I again seemed to sink? Thus sang Zarathustra. But
• 3:30:31
  Speaker 9: when the dance was over and the maidens had departed,
• 3:30:34
  Speaker 9: he became sad. The sun hath been long, said said he.
• 3:30:38
  Speaker 9: At last the meadow is damp, and from the forest
• 3:30:42
  Speaker 9: cometh coolness. An unknown presence is about me, and gaze
• 3:30:46
  Speaker 9: it thoughtfully. What thou livest still, Zarathustra? Why wherefore, whereby whither?
• 3:30:54
  Speaker 7: Where?
• 3:30:55
  Speaker 9: How is it not falling still? To live? My friends?
• 3:31:00
  Speaker 9: The evening is it? Which thus interrogateth in me. Forgive
• 3:31:05
  Speaker 9: me my sadness. Evening hath come on? Forgive me that
• 3:31:09
  Speaker 9: evening hath come on? Thus sang Zarathustra. End of Chapter
• 3:31:16
  Speaker 9: thirty two, Part two, Chapter thirty three. The grave song
• 3:31:29
  Speaker 9: yonder is the grave island, the silent isle yonder also
• 3:31:33
  Speaker 9: are the graves of my youth. Thither will I carry
• 3:31:37
  Speaker 9: an evergreen wreath of life, resolving Thus in my heart
• 3:31:41
  Speaker 9: did I sail over the sea, Oh ye sights and
• 3:31:45
  Speaker 9: scenes of my youth? Oh all ye gleams of love,
• 3:31:49
  Speaker 9: Ye divine fleeting gleams. How could ye perish so soon?
• 3:31:53
  Speaker 9: For me? Think of you today as my dead ones.
• 3:31:59
  Speaker 9: From you, my dearest dead ones, cometh unto me a
• 3:32:02
  Speaker 9: sweet savor, heart opening and melting. Verily it convulseth and
• 3:32:07
  Speaker 9: openeth the heart of the lone seafarer. Still am I
• 3:32:12
  Speaker 9: the richest and most to be envied, I the lonesomest one.
• 3:32:17
  Speaker 9: For I have possessed you and ye possess me still
• 3:32:22
  Speaker 9: tell me to whom hath there ever fallen such rosy
• 3:32:26
  Speaker 9: apples from the tree as have fallen unto me? Still
• 3:32:31
  Speaker 9: am I your love's air and heritage, blooming to your
• 3:32:35
  Speaker 9: memory with many hued, wild growing virtues. Oh, ye dearest ones, Ah,
• 3:32:42
  Speaker 9: we were made to remain nigh unto each other, Ye
• 3:32:45
  Speaker 9: kindly strange marvels, and not like timid birds. Did ye
• 3:32:49
  Speaker 9: come to me in my longing?
• 3:32:51
  Speaker 7: Nay?
• 3:32:51
  Speaker 9: But as trusting ones too? A trusting one, YEA made
• 3:32:56
  Speaker 9: for faithfulness like me and for fond eternities. Must die?
• 3:33:00
  Speaker 10: Now?
• 3:33:01
  Speaker 9: Name you by your faithlessness, ye, divine glances in fleeting gleams.
• 3:33:06
  Speaker 9: No other name have I yet learned? Verily too early?
• 3:33:11
  Speaker 9: Did ye die for me? Ye? Fugitives? Yet did ye
• 3:33:15
  Speaker 9: not flee from me? Nor did I flee from you? Innocent?
• 3:33:19
  Speaker 9: Are we to each other in our faithlessness? To kill me?
• 3:33:24
  Speaker 9: Did they strangle you, ye, singing birds of my hopes?
• 3:33:29
  Speaker 9: Yea at you, Ye, dearest ones? Did malice ever shoot
• 3:33:32
  Speaker 9: its arrows to hit my heart? And they hit it?
• 3:33:37
  Speaker 9: Because ye were always my dearest, My possession and my
• 3:33:40
  Speaker 9: possessiveness on that account had ye to die young, and
• 3:33:44
  Speaker 9: far too early, at my most vulnerable point did they
• 3:33:49
  Speaker 9: shoot the arrow, namely at you, whose skin is like down,
• 3:33:54
  Speaker 9: or more like the smile that dieth at a glance.
• 3:33:57
  Speaker 9: But this word, while I say unto mine? And what
• 3:34:01
  Speaker 9: is all manslaughter in comparison with what ye have done
• 3:34:05
  Speaker 9: unto me? Worse evil did ye do unto me than
• 3:34:09
  Speaker 9: all manslaughter? The irretrievable did ye take from me? Thus?
• 3:34:14
  Speaker 9: Do I speak unto you? Mine enemies? Slew ye not
• 3:34:18
  Speaker 9: my youth's vision, And dearest marvels, my playmates took ye
• 3:34:22
  Speaker 9: from me, the blessed spirits to their memory? Do I
• 3:34:26
  Speaker 9: deposit this wreath and this curse, this curse upon you,
• 3:34:29
  Speaker 9: mine enemies? Have ye not made mine eternal? Short as
• 3:34:33
  Speaker 9: a tone dieth away in a cold night? Scarcely as
• 3:34:37
  Speaker 9: the twinkle of divine eyes? Did it come to me
• 3:34:40
  Speaker 9: as a fleeting gleam? Thus spake once in a happy
• 3:34:44
  Speaker 9: hour my purity divine? Shall everything be unto me? Then
• 3:34:49
  Speaker 9: did ye haunt me with foul phantoms? Whither hath that
• 3:34:54
  Speaker 9: happy hour now fled? All days shall be wholly unto me?
• 3:34:59
  Speaker 9: So spake one the wisdom of my youth. Verily the
• 3:35:03
  Speaker 9: language of a joyous wisdom. But then did ye enemy
• 3:35:07
  Speaker 9: steal my knights and sold them to sleepless torture. Whither
• 3:35:11
  Speaker 9: hath that joyous wisdom now fled? Once did I long
• 3:35:16
  Speaker 9: for happy auspices? Then did ye lead an now a
• 3:35:19
  Speaker 9: monster across my path and adverse sight? Ah? Whither did
• 3:35:23
  Speaker 9: my tender logging then flee all loathing? Did I once
• 3:35:28
  Speaker 9: vow to renounce? Then did ye change mine nigh ones
• 3:35:31
  Speaker 9: and nearest ones into ulcerations? How whither did my noblest
• 3:35:36
  Speaker 9: vow then flee as a blind one? Did I once
• 3:35:40
  Speaker 9: walk in blessed ways? Then did ye cast filth on
• 3:35:43
  Speaker 9: the blind one's course? And now he is disgusted with
• 3:35:47
  Speaker 9: the old footpath. When I performed my hardest task and
• 3:35:52
  Speaker 9: celebrated the triumph my victories, then did ye make those
• 3:35:56
  Speaker 9: who loved me call out? That I then grieved them
• 3:35:59
  Speaker 9: the most fairly? It was always your doing. Ye embittered
• 3:36:03
  Speaker 9: to me my best honey, and the diligence of my
• 3:36:07
  Speaker 9: best bees to my charity? Have ye ever sent the
• 3:36:11
  Speaker 9: most impudent beggars around my sympathy? Have ye ever crowded
• 3:36:15
  Speaker 9: the incurably shameless? Thus have ye wounded the faith of
• 3:36:19
  Speaker 9: my virtue. And when I offered my holiest as a sacrifice,
• 3:36:25
  Speaker 9: immediately did your piety put its fatter gifts beside it,
• 3:36:30
  Speaker 9: so that my holiest suffocated in the fumes of your
• 3:36:33
  Speaker 9: fat And once did I want to dance? As I
• 3:36:36
  Speaker 9: had never yet danced? Beyond all heavens? Did I want
• 3:36:40
  Speaker 9: to dance? Then did ye seduce my favorite minstrel? And
• 3:36:45
  Speaker 9: now hath he struck up an awful, melancholy are alas
• 3:36:49
  Speaker 9: he tooted as a mournful horn to mine ear, murderous minstrel,
• 3:36:54
  Speaker 9: instrument of evil, most innocent instrument. Already did I stand
• 3:36:58
  Speaker 9: prepared for the best dance? Ants, then didst thou slay
• 3:37:02
  Speaker 9: my rapture with thy tones? Only in the dance do
• 3:37:06
  Speaker 9: I know how to speak the parable of the highest things?
• 3:37:10
  Speaker 9: And now hath my grandest parable remained unspoken in my limbs,
• 3:37:15
  Speaker 9: unspoken and unrealized. Hath my highest hope remained? And there
• 3:37:19
  Speaker 9: have perished for me all the visions and consolations of
• 3:37:23
  Speaker 9: my youth. How did I ever bearn How did I
• 3:37:27
  Speaker 9: survive and surmount such wounds? How did my soul rise
• 3:37:31
  Speaker 9: again out of those sepultures? Yea, something invulnerable, unbeariable, is
• 3:37:37
  Speaker 9: with me, something that would rend rocks asunder it is
• 3:37:41
  Speaker 9: called my will? Silently doth it proceed and unchanged throughout
• 3:37:48
  Speaker 9: the years its course? Will it go upon my feet?
• 3:37:53
  Speaker 9: Mine old will, heart of heart is the nature and invulnerable, invulnerable?
• 3:38:01
  Speaker 9: Am I only in my heel ever livest thou there?
• 3:38:05
  Speaker 9: And art like thyself, Thou most patient one ever hast
• 3:38:10
  Speaker 9: thou burst all shackles of the tomb in thee still
• 3:38:14
  Speaker 9: livest also the unrealizedness of my youth. And as life
• 3:38:19
  Speaker 9: and youth sittest thou here hopeful on the yellow ruins
• 3:38:22
  Speaker 9: of graves. Yea, thou art still for me, the demolisher
• 3:38:27
  Speaker 9: of all graves. Hail to thee my will. And only
• 3:38:32
  Speaker 9: where there are graves are their resurrections. Thus sang Zarathustra,
• 3:38:40
  Speaker 9: end of Chapter thirty three, Part two, Chapter thirty four,
• 3:38:50
  Speaker 9: Self surpassing will the truth? Do ye call it? Ye
• 3:38:56
  Speaker 9: wisest ones, that which impelleth you and maketh if you
• 3:39:00
  Speaker 9: ardent will for the thinkableness of all being? Thus do
• 3:39:04
  Speaker 9: I call your will all being? Would ye make thinkable?
• 3:39:09
  Speaker 9: For ye doubt with good reason whether it be already thinkable?
• 3:39:14
  Speaker 9: But it shall accommodate and bend itself to you. So will.
• 3:39:18
  Speaker 9: If your will smooth, shall it become and subject to
• 3:39:22
  Speaker 9: the spirit as its mirror and reflection. That is your
• 3:39:26
  Speaker 9: entire will. Ye wisest Ones, as a will to power.
• 3:39:30
  Speaker 9: And even when ye speak of good and evil, and
• 3:39:33
  Speaker 9: of estimates of value, ye would still create a world
• 3:39:37
  Speaker 9: before which ye can bow the knee, such as your
• 3:39:40
  Speaker 9: ultimate hope and ecstasy. The ignorant to be sure of
• 3:39:45
  Speaker 9: the people, they are like a river on which a
• 3:39:47
  Speaker 9: boat floateth along, and in the boat sits the estimates
• 3:39:51
  Speaker 9: of value, solemn and disguised. Your will and your valuations
• 3:39:56
  Speaker 9: have put ye on the river of becoming. It betrayeth
• 3:40:00
  Speaker 9: unto me an old will to power what is believed
• 3:40:03
  Speaker 9: by the people as good and evil. It was ye,
• 3:40:07
  Speaker 9: ye wisest Ones, who put such guests in this boat,
• 3:40:11
  Speaker 9: and gave them pomp and proud names. Ye and your
• 3:40:14
  Speaker 9: ruling will onward. The river now carrieth your boat. It
• 3:40:19
  Speaker 9: must carry it the small matter if the rough wave
• 3:40:23
  Speaker 9: foamoth and angrily resisteth its keel. It is not the
• 3:40:27
  Speaker 9: river that is your danger and the end of your
• 3:40:30
  Speaker 9: good and evil, Ye wisest Ones, but that will itself,
• 3:40:34
  Speaker 9: the will to power the unexhausted procreating life will But
• 3:40:39
  Speaker 9: that ye may understand my gospel of good and evil.
• 3:40:42
  Speaker 9: For that purpose, will I tell you my gospel of
• 3:40:45
  Speaker 9: life and of the nature of all living things. The
• 3:40:49
  Speaker 9: living thing did I follow? I walked in the broadest
• 3:40:53
  Speaker 9: and narrowest paths to learn its nature. With a hundred
• 3:40:57
  Speaker 9: faced mirror. Did I catch its glance when it's mouth
• 3:41:00
  Speaker 9: was shut, so that its eye might speak unto me?
• 3:41:04
  Speaker 9: And its eye spake unto me? But wherever I found
• 3:41:08
  Speaker 9: living things, there heard I also the language of obedience.
• 3:41:12
  Speaker 9: All living things are obeying things, And this I heard. Secondly,
• 3:41:18
  Speaker 9: whatever cannot obey itself is commanded, such as the nature
• 3:41:23
  Speaker 9: of living things. This, however, is the third thing which
• 3:41:28
  Speaker 9: I heard, namely, that commanding is more difficult than obeying,
• 3:41:33
  Speaker 9: and not only because the commander beareth the burden of
• 3:41:36
  Speaker 9: all obears, and because this burden readily crusheth him. An
• 3:41:40
  Speaker 9: attempt in a risk seemed all commanding unto me. And
• 3:41:43
  Speaker 9: whenever it commandeth, the living thing risketh itself. Thereby yea,
• 3:41:49
  Speaker 9: even when it commandeth itself, then also must it atone
• 3:41:53
  Speaker 9: for its commanding of its own law, must it become
• 3:41:57
  Speaker 9: the judge and avenger and victim? How doth this happen?
• 3:42:01
  Speaker 9: So did I ask myself, what persuadeth the living thing
• 3:42:06
  Speaker 9: to obey and command? And even be obedient in commanding?
• 3:42:11
  Speaker 9: Hearken now unto my word? Ye wisest ones tested seriously?
• 3:42:16
  Speaker 9: Whether I have crept into the heart of life itself
• 3:42:18
  Speaker 9: and into the roots of its heart. Wherever I found
• 3:42:22
  Speaker 9: a living thing, there found I will to power. And
• 3:42:27
  Speaker 9: even in the will of the servant, found I the
• 3:42:29
  Speaker 9: will to be master, that to the stronger the weaker
• 3:42:33
  Speaker 9: shall serve. There too persuadeth he his will, who would
• 3:42:37
  Speaker 9: be master over a still weaker one that delight alone
• 3:42:41
  Speaker 9: he is unwilling to forego, And as the lesser surrenderer
• 3:42:46
  Speaker 9: himself to the greater, that he may have delight in
• 3:42:49
  Speaker 9: power over the least of all. So doth even the
• 3:42:52
  Speaker 9: greatest surrender himself and staketh life for the sake of power.
• 3:42:58
  Speaker 9: It is the surrender of the greatest un risk and
• 3:43:00
  Speaker 9: danger and play dice for death. And where there is
• 3:43:04
  Speaker 9: sacrifice and service and love glances, there also is the
• 3:43:08
  Speaker 9: will to be master. By bye ways doth the weaker,
• 3:43:12
  Speaker 9: then slink into the fortress and into the heart of
• 3:43:15
  Speaker 9: the mightier one, And there stealeth power. And this secret
• 3:43:21
  Speaker 9: spake life herself unto me. Behold, said she, I am
• 3:43:27
  Speaker 9: that which must ever surpass itself. To be sure you
• 3:43:33
  Speaker 9: call it will to appropriation or impulse towards a goal,
• 3:43:36
  Speaker 9: towards the higher remoter and more manifold. But all that
• 3:43:40
  Speaker 9: is one and the same secret. Rather would I succumb
• 3:43:45
  Speaker 9: than disown this one thing. And verily, where there is
• 3:43:49
  Speaker 9: succumbing and leaf falling lo there doth life sacrifice itself
• 3:43:54
  Speaker 9: for power that I have to be struggle and becoming,
• 3:43:59
  Speaker 9: and purpose and cross purpose. Ah, He who divineth my
• 3:44:04
  Speaker 9: will divineth well also on what crooked paths it hath
• 3:44:08
  Speaker 9: to tread whatever I create, And however much I love it,
• 3:44:13
  Speaker 9: soon must I be adverse to it and to my love.
• 3:44:17
  Speaker 9: So willeth my will, And even thou, discerning one art
• 3:44:22
  Speaker 9: only a path and footstep of my will. Verily, my
• 3:44:26
  Speaker 9: will to power walketh even in the feet of thy
• 3:44:29
  Speaker 9: will to truth. He certainly did not hit the truth
• 3:44:34
  Speaker 9: who shot at it the formula will to existence, That
• 3:44:38
  Speaker 9: will doth not exist, for what is not cannot will that, however,
• 3:44:45
  Speaker 9: which is in existence, How could it still strive for existence?
• 3:44:50
  Speaker 9: Only where there is life is there also will not, however,
• 3:44:55
  Speaker 9: will to life. But so teach I thee will to power.
• 3:45:01
  Speaker 9: Much is reckoned higher than life itself by the living one.
• 3:45:05
  Speaker 9: But out of the very reckoning speaketh the will to power.
• 3:45:10
  Speaker 9: Thus did life, Ones teach me, And thereby ye wisest Ones,
• 3:45:14
  Speaker 9: Do I solve you the riddle of your hearts? Verily
• 3:45:19
  Speaker 9: I say unto you good and evil, which would be everlasting?
• 3:45:24
  Speaker 9: It doth not exist of its own accord? Must it
• 3:45:28
  Speaker 9: ever surpass itself anew with your values in formulae of
• 3:45:33
  Speaker 9: good and evil? Ye exercise power, ye, valuing Ones, And
• 3:45:38
  Speaker 9: that is your secret love and the sparkling, trembling and
• 3:45:41
  Speaker 9: overflowing of your souls. But a stronger power groweth out
• 3:45:46
  Speaker 9: of your values, and a new surpassing by it breaketh
• 3:45:51
  Speaker 9: egg and egg shell. And he who hath to be
• 3:45:55
  Speaker 9: a creator in good and evil, verily, he hath first
• 3:45:59
  Speaker 9: to be a destroyer and break values in pieces. Thus
• 3:46:04
  Speaker 9: doth the greatest evil pertain to the greatest good, That, however,
• 3:46:09
  Speaker 9: is the creating good. Let us speak thereof ye wisest ones.
• 3:46:13
  Speaker 9: Even though it be bad to be silent, is worse
• 3:46:17
  Speaker 9: all suppressed truths become poisonous. And let everything break up,
• 3:46:22
  Speaker 9: which can break up by our truths. Many a house
• 3:46:27
  Speaker 9: is still to be built, Thus spake Zarathustra. End of
• 3:46:33
  Speaker 9: Chapter thirty four, Part two, Chapter thirty five. The sublime
• 3:46:42
  Speaker 9: ones calm is the bottom of my sea. Who would
• 3:46:48
  Speaker 9: guess that it hideth droll monsters. Unmoved is my depth,
• 3:46:54
  Speaker 9: but it sparkleth with swimming enigmas and laughters. A sublime
• 3:46:59
  Speaker 9: one unsaw I today, a solemn one, a penitent of
• 3:47:02
  Speaker 9: the spirit. Oh, how my soul laughed at his ugliness
• 3:47:07
  Speaker 9: with upraised breast, and like those who draw in their breath.
• 3:47:10
  Speaker 9: Thus did he stand, the sublime one and in silence,
• 3:47:15
  Speaker 9: or hung with ugly truths, the spoil of his hunting
• 3:47:18
  Speaker 9: and rich and torn raiment. Many thorns also hung on him,
• 3:47:23
  Speaker 9: But I saw no rose. Not yet had he learned
• 3:47:27
  Speaker 9: laughing in beauty gloomy? Did this hunter return from the
• 3:47:31
  Speaker 9: forest of knowledge, from the fight with wild beasts? Returned
• 3:47:36
  Speaker 9: he home? But even yet a wild beast gazeth out
• 3:47:40
  Speaker 9: of his seriousness, an unconquered wild beast as a tiger,
• 3:47:45
  Speaker 9: doth ever he stand on the point of springing. But
• 3:47:48
  Speaker 9: I do not like those strained souls. Ungracious is my
• 3:47:52
  Speaker 9: taste towards all those self engrossed ones. And ye tell me, friends,
• 3:47:59
  Speaker 9: that there is to be no dispute about tastes and tasting.
• 3:48:03
  Speaker 9: But all life is a dispute about tastes and tasting. Taste.
• 3:48:08
  Speaker 9: That is weight at the same time, and scales and where,
• 3:48:12
  Speaker 9: and alast for every living thing that would live without
• 3:48:15
  Speaker 9: dispute about weight and scales and where. Should he become
• 3:48:20
  Speaker 9: weary of his sublimeness, this sublime one, then only will
• 3:48:25
  Speaker 9: his beauty begin. And then only will I taste him
• 3:48:28
  Speaker 9: and find him savory. And only when he turneth away
• 3:48:33
  Speaker 9: from himself will he overlap his own shadow and verily
• 3:48:37
  Speaker 9: into his son. Far too long did he sit in
• 3:48:41
  Speaker 9: the shade, The cheeks of the penitent of the spirit
• 3:48:44
  Speaker 9: become pale. He almost starved on his expectations. Contempt is
• 3:48:50
  Speaker 9: still in his eye, and loathing hideth in his mouth.
• 3:48:54
  Speaker 9: To be sure, he now resteth, but he hath not
• 3:48:56
  Speaker 9: yet taken rest in the sunshine, as the Ox ought
• 3:49:01
  Speaker 9: he to do. And his happiness should smell of the earth,
• 3:49:05
  Speaker 9: and not of contempt for the earth as a white ox.
• 3:49:09
  Speaker 9: Would I like to see him, which, snorting and lowing
• 3:49:12
  Speaker 9: walketh before the plowshare, And his lowing should also laud
• 3:49:16
  Speaker 9: all that is earthly dark? Still is his countenance. The
• 3:49:21
  Speaker 9: shadow of his hand danceth upon it. O'er shadowed is
• 3:49:25
  Speaker 9: still the sense of his eye. His deed itself is
• 3:49:30
  Speaker 9: still the shadow upon him. His doing obscureth the doer.
• 3:49:35
  Speaker 9: Not yet hath he overcome his deed? To be sure,
• 3:49:39
  Speaker 9: I love him in the shoulders of the ox. But
• 3:49:42
  Speaker 9: now do I want to see also the eye of
• 3:49:45
  Speaker 9: the angel also his hero will hath he still to unlearn?
• 3:49:51
  Speaker 9: An exalted one? Shall he be? And not only a
• 3:49:53
  Speaker 9: sublime one? The ether itself should raise him the willless one.
• 3:49:59
  Speaker 9: He hath subdued monsters, he hath solved enigmas. But he
• 3:50:03
  Speaker 9: should also redeem his monsters and enigmas into heavenly children,
• 3:50:08
  Speaker 9: should he transform them. As yet, hath his knowledge not
• 3:50:12
  Speaker 9: learned a smile and to be without jealousy? As yet
• 3:50:16
  Speaker 9: hath his gushing passion not become calm in beauty? Verily
• 3:50:21
  Speaker 9: not in satiety? Shall his longing cease and disappear. But
• 3:50:24
  Speaker 9: in beauty gracefulness belongeth to the munificence of the magnanimous,
• 3:50:32
  Speaker 9: his arm across his head. Thus should the hero repose,
• 3:50:36
  Speaker 9: Thus should he also surmount his repose. But precisely to
• 3:50:42
  Speaker 9: the hero is beauty, the hardest thing of all, unattainable
• 3:50:46
  Speaker 9: as beauty by all ardent wills, A little more, a
• 3:50:50
  Speaker 9: little less precisely, this is much here. It is the
• 3:50:54
  Speaker 9: most here to stand with relaxed muscles and with unharnessed will.
• 3:51:01
  Speaker 9: That is the hardest for all of you, ye sublime ones.
• 3:51:06
  Speaker 9: When power becometh gracious and descendeth than too the visible,
• 3:51:10
  Speaker 9: I call such condescension beauty. And from no one do
• 3:51:15
  Speaker 9: I want beauty so much as from THEE. Thou powerful one.
• 3:51:19
  Speaker 9: Let thy goodness be thy last self conquest all evil?
• 3:51:25
  Speaker 9: Do I a credit to THEE? Therefore do I desire
• 3:51:28
  Speaker 9: of THEE the good? Verily, I have often laughed at
• 3:51:33
  Speaker 9: the weaklings who think themselves good because they have crippled
• 3:51:36
  Speaker 9: pause the virtue of the pillars. Shalt thou strive after
• 3:51:41
  Speaker 9: more beautiful thought that ever become and more graceful, but
• 3:51:45
  Speaker 9: internally harder and more sustaining. The higher it riseth yea
• 3:51:51
  Speaker 9: thou sublime one one day, shalt thou also be beautiful
• 3:51:55
  Speaker 9: and hold up to the mirror thine own beauty. Then
• 3:51:59
  Speaker 9: will thy soul thrill with divine desires, and there will
• 3:52:02
  Speaker 9: be adoration even in thy vanity. For this is the
• 3:52:07
  Speaker 9: secret of the soul. When the hero hath abandoned it,
• 3:52:11
  Speaker 9: then only approacheth it in dreams the superhero Thus spake Zarathustra.
• 3:52:21
  Speaker 9: End of Chapter thirty five, Part three, Chapter thirty six,
• 3:52:27
  Speaker 9: The Land of Culture too far? Did I fly into
• 3:52:32
  Speaker 9: the future, A whrror seized upon me when I looked
• 3:52:37
  Speaker 9: around me lo their time was my soul contemporary? Then
• 3:52:43
  Speaker 9: did I fly backwards, homewards and always faster. Thus did
• 3:52:48
  Speaker 9: I come unto you, ye present day men, and into
• 3:52:51
  Speaker 9: the land of culture for the first time brought iye
• 3:52:55
  Speaker 9: and I to see you and good desire. Fairly with
• 3:52:58
  Speaker 9: longing in my heart, I come. But how did it
• 3:53:02
  Speaker 9: turn out with me? Although so alarmed, I had yet
• 3:53:05
  Speaker 9: to laugh. Never did mine eye see anything so motley colored.
• 3:53:11
  Speaker 9: I laughed and laughed, while my foot still trembled in
• 3:53:14
  Speaker 9: my heart as well. Here, forsooth is the home of
• 3:53:17
  Speaker 9: all the paint pots, said I, with fifty patches painted
• 3:53:22
  Speaker 9: on faces and limbs. So sat ye there to mine astonishment,
• 3:53:25
  Speaker 9: ye present day men, And with fifty mirrors around you,
• 3:53:30
  Speaker 9: which flattered your play of colors and repeated it. Verily,
• 3:53:34
  Speaker 9: ye could wear no better masks, ye, present day men,
• 3:53:37
  Speaker 9: than your own faces, who could recognize you written all
• 3:53:43
  Speaker 9: over with the characters of the past, and these characters
• 3:53:46
  Speaker 9: also penciled over with new characters. Thus have ye concealed
• 3:53:50
  Speaker 9: yourselves well from all decipherers. And though one be a
• 3:53:55
  Speaker 9: trier of the reins, who still believeth that ye have
• 3:53:58
  Speaker 9: reins out of colors, ye seem to be baked and
• 3:54:02
  Speaker 9: out of glued scraps all times, And people gaze divers
• 3:54:08
  Speaker 9: colored out of your veils, all customs and beliefs speak
• 3:54:12
  Speaker 9: divers colored out of your gestures. He who would strip
• 3:54:17
  Speaker 9: you of veils and wrappers and paints and gestures would
• 3:54:20
  Speaker 9: just have enough left to scare the crows. Verily, I
• 3:54:25
  Speaker 9: myself and the sacred crow that once saw you naked
• 3:54:28
  Speaker 9: and without paint, and I flew away when the skeleton
• 3:54:31
  Speaker 9: nobled at me. Rather, would I be a day laborer
• 3:54:35
  Speaker 9: in the nether world and among the shades of the
• 3:54:38
  Speaker 9: bygone fatter and fuller than ye are. Forsooth the nether
• 3:54:42
  Speaker 9: worldlings this, yea, this is bitterness to my bowels that
• 3:54:48
  Speaker 9: I can neither endure you naked nor clothe ye present DayMen.
• 3:54:53
  Speaker 9: All that is unhomelike in the future, and whatever maketh
• 3:54:58
  Speaker 9: strayed birds shiver is verily more homelike and familiar than
• 3:55:02
  Speaker 9: your reality. For thus speak ye real, are we holy
• 3:55:08
  Speaker 9: and without faith and superstition? Thus do ye plume yourselves
• 3:55:12
  Speaker 9: alas even without plumes. Indeed, how would ye be able
• 3:55:18
  Speaker 9: to believe? Ye? Diverse colored ones? Ye, who are pictures
• 3:55:23
  Speaker 9: of all that have ever been believed? Perambulating refutations are
• 3:55:30
  Speaker 9: ye of belief itself, and a dislocation of all thought
• 3:55:35
  Speaker 9: untrustworthy ones. Thus do I call you, ye real ones.
• 3:55:42
  Speaker 9: All periods prayed against one another in your spirits, and
• 3:55:46
  Speaker 9: the dreams and prayings of all periods were even riller
• 3:55:49
  Speaker 9: than your awakeness unfruitful or ye therefore do ye like belief.
• 3:55:57
  Speaker 9: But he who had to create had always presaging dreams
• 3:56:01
  Speaker 9: and astral premonitions, and believed in believing. Half open doors
• 3:56:08
  Speaker 9: are ye at which grave diggers wait and this is
• 3:56:12
  Speaker 9: your reality. Everything deserveth to perish. Alas, how ye stand
• 3:56:18
  Speaker 9: there before me, ye, unfruitful ones, how lean your ribs,
• 3:56:23
  Speaker 9: and many of you surely have had knowledge thereof many
• 3:56:28
  Speaker 9: a one hath said there, hath surely a god filched
• 3:56:33
  Speaker 9: something from me secretly, whilst I slept fairly enough to
• 3:56:37
  Speaker 9: make a girl for himself. Therefrom amazing is the poverty
• 3:56:41
  Speaker 9: of my ribs. Thus hath spoken many a present day man. Yeah,
• 3:56:47
  Speaker 9: you're laughable unto me, ye present DayMen, and especially when
• 3:56:52
  Speaker 9: ye marvel at yourselves, and woe unto me if I
• 3:56:56
  Speaker 9: could not laugh at your marveling and had to swallow
• 3:56:59
  Speaker 9: all that is pugnant in your platters as it is, however,
• 3:57:03
  Speaker 9: I will make lighter of you, since I have to
• 3:57:06
  Speaker 9: carry what is heavy, and what matter, if beetles and
• 3:57:09
  Speaker 9: may bugs also alight on my load, verily, it shall
• 3:57:14
  Speaker 9: not on that account become heavier to me, and not
• 3:57:17
  Speaker 9: from you, ye present day men. Shall my great weariness arise? Ah?
• 3:57:23
  Speaker 9: Whither shall I now ascend with my longing? From all mountains?
• 3:57:27
  Speaker 9: Do I look out for fatherlands and motherlands? But a
• 3:57:31
  Speaker 9: home have I found nowhere? Unsettled am I in all
• 3:57:34
  Speaker 9: cities and decamping at all gates alien to me and
• 3:57:39
  Speaker 9: a mocker are the present day men to whom have
• 3:57:41
  Speaker 9: laid my heart, impelled me, and exiled am I from
• 3:57:45
  Speaker 9: fatherlands and motherlands. Thus do I love only my children's land,
• 3:57:52
  Speaker 9: the undiscovered in the remotest sea. For it do I
• 3:57:55
  Speaker 9: bid my sales, search and search? Unto my children, will
• 3:58:01
  Speaker 9: I make amends for being the child of my father's
• 3:58:04
  Speaker 9: and unto all the future for this present day? Thus
• 3:58:09
  Speaker 9: spake Zarathustra, end of Chapter thirty six, Part two, Chapter
• 3:58:21
  Speaker 9: thirty seven, immaculate perception. When yester eve the moon arose,
• 3:58:28
  Speaker 9: Then did I fancied about to bear a sun so
• 3:58:31
  Speaker 9: broad and teeming did it lie on the horizon, But
• 3:58:35
  Speaker 9: it was a liar with its pregnancy. And sooner will
• 3:58:38
  Speaker 9: I believe in the man in the moon than in
• 3:58:40
  Speaker 9: the woman? To be sure, little of a man is
• 3:58:44
  Speaker 9: he also, that timid night reveler, verily with a bad conscience.
• 3:58:49
  Speaker 9: Doth he stalk over the roofs free, is covetous and jealous,
• 3:58:54
  Speaker 9: the monk and the moon, covetous of the earth and
• 3:58:57
  Speaker 9: all the joys of lovers. And nay I like him,
• 3:59:00
  Speaker 9: not that tom cat of the roofs hateful unto me
• 3:59:04
  Speaker 9: are all that slink around half closed windows piously and silently.
• 3:59:09
  Speaker 9: Doth he stalk along in the star carpets. But I
• 3:59:12
  Speaker 9: like no light treading human feet on which not even
• 3:59:15
  Speaker 9: a spur jingleth every honest one step speaketh cat, however,
• 3:59:23
  Speaker 9: stealeth along over the ground, low catalc. Doth the moon
• 3:59:28
  Speaker 9: come along? And dishonestly this parable speak unto you sentimental dissemblers,
• 3:59:34
  Speaker 9: unto you the pure discerners you do I call covetous ones. Also,
• 3:59:42
  Speaker 9: ye love the earth and the earthly. I have divined
• 3:59:45
  Speaker 9: you well. But shame is in your love and a
• 3:59:48
  Speaker 9: bad conscience. Ye are like the moon to despise the earthly.
• 3:59:53
  Speaker 9: Hath your spirit been persuaded? But not your bowels, These, however,
• 3:59:57
  Speaker 9: are the strongest in you. And now is your spirit
• 4:00:01
  Speaker 9: a shame to be at the service of your bowels,
• 4:00:03
  Speaker 9: and goeth by ways and lying ways to escape its
• 4:00:06
  Speaker 9: own shame. That would be the highest thing for me.
• 4:00:11
  Speaker 9: So saith your lying spirit unto itself, to gaze upon
• 4:00:15
  Speaker 9: life without desire, and not like the dog with hanging
• 4:00:18
  Speaker 9: out tongue, to be happy and gazing with dead will,
• 4:00:21
  Speaker 9: free from the grip and greed of selfishness, cold and ashy,
• 4:00:24
  Speaker 9: gray all over, but with intoxicated moon eyes, that would
• 4:00:29
  Speaker 9: be the dearest thing to me. Thus doth the seduced
• 4:00:32
  Speaker 9: one seduce himself to love the earth as the moon
• 4:00:35
  Speaker 9: loveth it, and with the eye only to feel its beauty.
• 4:00:39
  Speaker 9: And this do I call immaculate perception of all things,
• 4:00:43
  Speaker 9: to want nothing else from them, but to be allowed
• 4:00:45
  Speaker 9: to lie before them as a mirror with a hundred facets. Oh, ye,
• 4:00:50
  Speaker 9: sentimental dissemblers, ye covetous ones, Ye lack innocence in your desire.
• 4:00:55
  Speaker 9: And now do ye defame desiring on that account verily,
• 4:00:59
  Speaker 9: not as creators, as procreators, or as jubilators. Do ye
• 4:01:03
  Speaker 9: love the earth where is innocence, where there is will
• 4:01:08
  Speaker 9: to procreation. And he who seeketh to create beyond himself
• 4:01:12
  Speaker 9: hath for me the purest will, whereas beauty, where I
• 4:01:17
  Speaker 9: must will with my whole will, where I will love
• 4:01:21
  Speaker 9: and perish, that an image may not remain merely an image.
• 4:01:25
  Speaker 9: Loving and perishing. These have rhymed for eternity, will to love,
• 4:01:30
  Speaker 9: that is, to be ready also for death. Thus do
• 4:01:34
  Speaker 9: I speak unto you cowards. But now doth you, or
• 4:01:38
  Speaker 9: emasculated ogling profess to be contemplation? And that which can
• 4:01:42
  Speaker 9: be examined with cowardly eyes is to be christ and beautiful. Oh,
• 4:01:47
  Speaker 9: ye violators of noble names. But it shall be your curse,
• 4:01:51
  Speaker 9: ye immaculate ones, ye pure discerners, that ye shall never
• 4:01:55
  Speaker 9: bring forth, even though ye lie broad and teeming on
• 4:01:58
  Speaker 9: the horizon. Ye fill your mouth with noble words, and
• 4:02:03
  Speaker 9: we are to believe that your heart overfloweth, ye cousiners,
• 4:02:07
  Speaker 9: But my words are poor, contemptible, stammering words. Gladly do
• 4:02:11
  Speaker 9: I pick up what fallen from the table at your repasts?
• 4:02:15
  Speaker 9: It's still? Can I say therewith the truth to dissemblers? Yea,
• 4:02:20
  Speaker 9: My fishbone shells and prickly leaves shall tickle the noses
• 4:02:24
  Speaker 9: of dissemblers. Bad air is always about you and your repasts.
• 4:02:30
  Speaker 9: Your lascivious thoughts, your lies and secrets are indeed in
• 4:02:34
  Speaker 9: the air. Dare only to believe in yourselves, in yourselves
• 4:02:39
  Speaker 9: and in your inward parts. He who doth not believe
• 4:02:42
  Speaker 9: in himself always lieth a god's mask. Have ye hung
• 4:02:48
  Speaker 9: in front of you, ye pure ones, into a God's mask?
• 4:02:51
  Speaker 9: Hath your execrable coiling snake crawled verily, Ye deceive, ye
• 4:02:57
  Speaker 9: contemplative ones. Even ze Zareathustra was once the dupe of
• 4:03:01
  Speaker 9: your godlike exterior. He did not divine the serpent's coil
• 4:03:05
  Speaker 9: with which it was stuffed a god's soul. I once
• 4:03:09
  Speaker 9: thought I saw playing in your game. See pure discerners.
• 4:03:13
  Speaker 9: No better arts that I once dream of than your arts,
• 4:03:17
  Speaker 9: serpent's filth and evil odor. The distance concealed from me,
• 4:03:21
  Speaker 9: and that a lizard's craft prowled thereabouts lasciviously. But I
• 4:03:26
  Speaker 9: came nigh unto you, then came to me the day,
• 4:03:29
  Speaker 9: and now cometh it to you. At the end is
• 4:03:32
  Speaker 9: the moon's love affair. See there, surprised and pale, doth
• 4:03:37
  Speaker 9: it stand before the rosy dawn. For already she cometh
• 4:03:42
  Speaker 9: the glowing one. Her love to the earth cometh innocence
• 4:03:46
  Speaker 9: and creative desire is all soular love. See there, how
• 4:03:51
  Speaker 9: she cometh impatiently over the sea. Do ye not feel
• 4:03:55
  Speaker 9: the thirst and the hot breath of her love? At
• 4:03:59
  Speaker 9: the sea? Would she suck and drink its depths to
• 4:04:02
  Speaker 9: her height? Now riseth the desire of the sea, with
• 4:04:05
  Speaker 9: its thousand breasts kissed and sucked. Would it be by
• 4:04:10
  Speaker 9: the thirst of the sun vapor? Would it become in
• 4:04:13
  Speaker 9: height and path of light and light itself verily like
• 4:04:17
  Speaker 9: the sun? Do I love life in all deep seas?
• 4:04:21
  Speaker 9: And this meaneth to me knowledge All that is deep
• 4:04:25
  Speaker 9: shall ascend to my height. Thus spake Zarathustra. End of
• 4:04:33
  Speaker 9: Chapter thirty seven, Part two, Chapter thirty eight, Scholars. When
• 4:04:44
  Speaker 9: I lay asleep, then did a sheep eat at the
• 4:04:47
  Speaker 9: ivy wreath on my head? It ate and said thereby
• 4:04:51
  Speaker 9: Darathustra is no longer a scholar. It said this and
• 4:04:55
  Speaker 9: went away clumsily and proudly. A child told it to me,
• 4:05:00
  Speaker 9: I like to lie here where the children play, beside
• 4:05:03
  Speaker 9: the ruined wall, among thistles and red poppies. A scholar
• 4:05:08
  Speaker 9: am I still to the children, and also to the
• 4:05:10
  Speaker 9: thistles and red poppies, innocent are they even in their wickedness?
• 4:05:16
  Speaker 9: But to the sheep, I am no longer a scholar.
• 4:05:19
  Speaker 9: So willeth my lot blessings upon it, For this is
• 4:05:23
  Speaker 9: the truth. I have departed from the house of the scholars,
• 4:05:26
  Speaker 9: and the door have I also slammed behind me? Too long?
• 4:05:30
  Speaker 9: Did my soul sit hungry at their table. Not like them?
• 4:05:33
  Speaker 9: Have I got the knack of investigating as the knack
• 4:05:36
  Speaker 9: of nut cracking? Freedom? Do I love in the air
• 4:05:40
  Speaker 9: over fresh soil? Rather would I sleep on ox skins
• 4:05:43
  Speaker 9: than on their honors and dignities? I am too hot
• 4:05:47
  Speaker 9: and scorched with mine own thought? Often is it ready
• 4:05:50
  Speaker 9: to take away my breath? Then have I to go
• 4:05:53
  Speaker 9: into the open air and away from all dusty rooms?
• 4:05:58
  Speaker 9: But they sit cool in the cool shade. They want
• 4:06:01
  Speaker 9: in everything to be merely spectators, and they avoid sitting
• 4:06:06
  Speaker 9: where the sun burneth on the steps, like those who
• 4:06:10
  Speaker 9: stand in the street and gape at the passers by.
• 4:06:13
  Speaker 9: Thus do they also wait and gape at the thoughts
• 4:06:15
  Speaker 9: which others have thought? Should one lay hold of them?
• 4:06:20
  Speaker 9: Then do they raise a dust like flower sacks, and involuntarily?
• 4:06:24
  Speaker 9: But who would divine that their dust came from corn
• 4:06:26
  Speaker 9: and from the yellow delight of the summer fields. When
• 4:06:30
  Speaker 9: they give themselves out as wives, then do their petty
• 4:06:33
  Speaker 9: sayings and truths chill me in their wisdom? There is
• 4:06:36
  Speaker 9: often an odor, as if it came from the swamp,
• 4:06:39
  Speaker 9: And verily I have even heard the frog croak in it.
• 4:06:43
  Speaker 9: Clever are they they have dexterous fingers. What doth my
• 4:06:48
  Speaker 9: simplicity pretend to beside their multiplicity? All threading and knitting
• 4:06:53
  Speaker 9: and weaving do their fingers understand? Thus do they make
• 4:06:57
  Speaker 9: the house of the spirit? Good? Clockworks? Are they only
• 4:07:01
  Speaker 9: be careful to wind them up properly? Then do they
• 4:07:04
  Speaker 9: indicate the hour without mistake? And make a modest noise thereby?
• 4:07:10
  Speaker 9: Like millstones do they work, And like pestles throw only
• 4:07:14
  Speaker 9: seed corn unto them they know well how to grind
• 4:07:17
  Speaker 9: corn small and make white dust out of it. They
• 4:07:20
  Speaker 9: keep a sharp eye on one another, and do not
• 4:07:23
  Speaker 9: trust each other. The best ingenious and little artifices. They
• 4:07:27
  Speaker 9: wait for those whose knowledge walketh on lamb feet. Like
• 4:07:31
  Speaker 9: spiders do they wait? I saw them always prepare their
• 4:07:35
  Speaker 9: poison with precaution, and always did they put glass gloves
• 4:07:38
  Speaker 9: on their fingers in doing so. They also know how
• 4:07:42
  Speaker 9: to play with false dice, And so eagerly did I
• 4:07:45
  Speaker 9: find them playing that they perspired. Thereby we are alien
• 4:07:51
  Speaker 9: to each other, and their virtues are even more repugnant
• 4:07:54
  Speaker 9: to my tastes, and their falsehoods and false dice. And
• 4:07:57
  Speaker 9: when I lived with them, then did I live above them?
• 4:08:01
  Speaker 9: Therefore did they take a dislike to me. They want
• 4:08:05
  Speaker 9: to hear nothing of anyone walking above their heads, And
• 4:08:09
  Speaker 9: so they put wood and earth and rubbish betwixt me
• 4:08:11
  Speaker 9: and their heads. Thus did they deafen the sound of
• 4:08:15
  Speaker 9: my tread? And least have I hitherto been heard by
• 4:08:19
  Speaker 9: the most learned All mankind's faults and weaknesses did they
• 4:08:24
  Speaker 9: put betwixt themselves and me? They call it false ceiling
• 4:08:28
  Speaker 9: in their houses. But nevertheless I walk with my thoughts
• 4:08:33
  Speaker 9: above their heads. And even should I walk on mine
• 4:08:36
  Speaker 9: own air, still would I be above them and their heads?
• 4:08:40
  Speaker 9: For men are not equal. So speaketh justice, and what
• 4:08:45
  Speaker 9: I will, they may not will. Thus spake Zarathustra end
• 4:08:52
  Speaker 9: Chapter thirty eight, Part two, Chapter thirty nine. Poets, since
• 4:09:01
  Speaker 9: I have known the body better, said Zarathustra to one
• 4:09:04
  Speaker 9: of his disciples. The spirit hath only been to me
• 4:09:08
  Speaker 9: symbolically spirit, and all THEE imperishable. That is also but
• 4:09:13
  Speaker 9: a simile. So have I heard THEE say once before,
• 4:09:18
  Speaker 9: answered the disciple. And then thou addest, but the poets
• 4:09:22
  Speaker 9: lie too much? Why didst Thou say that the poets
• 4:09:26
  Speaker 9: lie too much? Why said Zarathustra, thou askest why I
• 4:09:31
  Speaker 9: do not belong to those who may be asked after
• 4:09:35
  Speaker 9: their why is my experience? But of yesterday? It is
• 4:09:39
  Speaker 9: long ago that I experienced the reasons for mine opinions.
• 4:09:43
  Speaker 9: Should I not have to be a cask of memory?
• 4:09:47
  Speaker 9: If I also wanted to have my reasons with me?
• 4:09:50
  Speaker 9: It is already too much for me even to retain
• 4:09:53
  Speaker 9: mine opinions. And many a bird flieth away. And sometimes
• 4:09:58
  Speaker 9: also do I find a fugitive cree c in my dovecote,
• 4:10:01
  Speaker 9: which is alien to me, and trembleth when I lay
• 4:10:04
  Speaker 9: my hand upon it. But what did Zarathustra once say
• 4:10:08
  Speaker 9: unto thee that the poets lie too much? But Zarathustra
• 4:10:13
  Speaker 9: is also a poet. Believest thou that he there spake
• 4:10:18
  Speaker 9: the truth? Why dost thou believe it? The disciple answered,
• 4:10:23
  Speaker 9: I believe in Zarathustra. But Zarathustra shook his head and smiled.
• 4:10:29
  Speaker 9: Belief doth not sanctify me, said he least of all
• 4:10:33
  Speaker 9: the belief in myself. But granting that someone did say
• 4:10:38
  Speaker 9: in all seriousness that the poets lie too much, he
• 4:10:42
  Speaker 9: was right. We do lie too much. We also know
• 4:10:47
  Speaker 9: too little, and are bad learners, so we are obliged
• 4:10:51
  Speaker 9: to lie. And which of us poets hath not adulterated
• 4:10:56
  Speaker 9: his wine? Many a poisonous hotchpotchat evolved in our cellars.
• 4:11:02
  Speaker 9: Many an indescribable thing hath there been done. And because
• 4:11:06
  Speaker 9: we know little, therefore are we pleased from the heart
• 4:11:10
  Speaker 9: with the poor in spirit, especially when they are young women.
• 4:11:14
  Speaker 9: And even of those things are we desirous which old
• 4:11:18
  Speaker 9: women tell one another in the evening. This do we
• 4:11:21
  Speaker 9: call the eternally feminine in us? And as if there
• 4:11:25
  Speaker 9: were a special secret access to knowledge, with choketh up
• 4:11:29
  Speaker 9: for those who learn anything, so do we believe in
• 4:11:33
  Speaker 9: the people and their wisdom. This, however, do all poets
• 4:11:38
  Speaker 9: believe that whoever priketh up his ears, when lying in
• 4:11:42
  Speaker 9: the grass or un lonely slopes, learneth something of the
• 4:11:46
  Speaker 9: things that are betwixt heaven and earth. And if they
• 4:11:50
  Speaker 9: are come unto them tender emotions, then do the poets
• 4:11:53
  Speaker 9: always think that Nature herself is in love with them,
• 4:11:57
  Speaker 9: and that she stealeth to their to whisper her secrets
• 4:12:00
  Speaker 9: into it and amorous flatteries of this do they plume
• 4:12:04
  Speaker 9: and pride themselves before all mortals. Ah there are so
• 4:12:08
  Speaker 9: many things betwixt heaven and earth of which only the
• 4:12:10
  Speaker 9: poets have dreamed, and especially above the heavens. For all
• 4:12:15
  Speaker 9: gods or poets, symbolizations, poets sophistications. Verily, ever, are we
• 4:12:22
  Speaker 9: drawn aloft, that is, to the realm of the clouds.
• 4:12:26
  Speaker 9: On these do we set our gaudy puppets, and then
• 4:12:28
  Speaker 9: call them gods and supermen? Are not they light enough
• 4:12:33
  Speaker 9: for those chairs? Are all these gods and supermen? Ah?
• 4:12:37
  Speaker 9: How I am weary of all the inadequate that is
• 4:12:40
  Speaker 9: insisted on as actual? Ah, how I am weary of
• 4:12:44
  Speaker 9: the poets. When Zarathustra so spake, his disciple resented it,
• 4:12:51
  Speaker 9: but was silent, And Zarathustra also was silent, and his
• 4:12:56
  Speaker 9: eye directed itself inwardly, as if it gazed into the
• 4:12:59
  Speaker 9: far distance. At last he sighed and drew breath. I
• 4:13:05
  Speaker 9: am of today, and heretofore said he thereupon, But something
• 4:13:11
  Speaker 9: is in me, that is of the morrow, and the
• 4:13:13
  Speaker 9: day following, and the hereafter. I became weary of the poets,
• 4:13:19
  Speaker 9: of the old and of the new superficial? Are they
• 4:13:22
  Speaker 9: all unto me in shallow seas they did not think
• 4:13:26
  Speaker 9: sufficiently into the depth therefore their feeling did not reach
• 4:13:30
  Speaker 9: to the bottom. Some sensation of voluptuousness and some sensation
• 4:13:35
  Speaker 9: of tedium. These have as yet been their best contemplation.
• 4:13:41
  Speaker 9: Ghost breathing and ghost whisking seemeth to me. All the
• 4:13:45
  Speaker 9: jingle jangling of their harps. What have they known hitherto
• 4:13:49
  Speaker 9: of the fervor of tones? They are also not pure
• 4:13:54
  Speaker 9: enough for me. They all muddle their waters, that it
• 4:13:57
  Speaker 9: may seem deep and fain. Would they thereby prove themselves reconcilers,
• 4:14:03
  Speaker 9: but mediaries and mixers? Are they unto me? And half
• 4:14:05
  Speaker 9: in half and impure? I cast indeed my net into
• 4:14:10
  Speaker 9: their sea, and meant to catch good fish. But always
• 4:14:14
  Speaker 9: did I draw up the head of some ancient god.
• 4:14:17
  Speaker 9: Thus did the sea give a stone to the hungry one?
• 4:14:21
  Speaker 9: And they themselves may well originate from the sea. Certainly
• 4:14:26
  Speaker 9: one findeth pearls in them. Thereby they are the more
• 4:14:31
  Speaker 9: like hard mollusks. And instead of a soul I have
• 4:14:35
  Speaker 9: often found in them salt slime. They have learned from
• 4:14:40
  Speaker 9: the sea. Also, its vanity is not the sea. The
• 4:14:43
  Speaker 9: peacock of peacocks. Even before the ugliest of all buffaloes,
• 4:14:48
  Speaker 9: doth its bread out its tail. Never doth it tire
• 4:14:51
  Speaker 9: of its lace fan of silver and silk. Disdainfully doth
• 4:14:57
  Speaker 9: the buffalo glance thereat to the sand with its soul
• 4:15:02
  Speaker 9: nigher still to the thicket nighest. However, to the swamp,
• 4:15:08
  Speaker 9: what is beauty and sea in peacock splendor? To it
• 4:15:12
  Speaker 9: this parable I speak unto the poets. Verily, their spirit
• 4:15:17
  Speaker 9: itself is the peacock of peacock's and a sea of vanity.
• 4:15:22
  Speaker 9: Spectators seeketh the spirit of the poet, should they even
• 4:15:26
  Speaker 9: be buffaloes. But of this spirit became I weary, and
• 4:15:31
  Speaker 9: I see the time coming when it will become weary
• 4:15:34
  Speaker 9: of itself. Yea changed have I seen the poets and
• 4:15:39
  Speaker 9: their glance turn towards themselves? Penitents of the spirit have
• 4:15:44
  Speaker 9: I seen appearing? They grew out of the poets. Thus
• 4:15:48
  Speaker 9: spake Zarathustra. End of Chapter thirty nine, Part two, Chapter
• 4:16:01
  Speaker 9: forty Great Events. There is an isle in the sea,
• 4:16:09
  Speaker 9: not far from the happy aisles of Zarathustra, on which
• 4:16:13
  Speaker 9: a volcano ever smoketh. Of which isle the people, and
• 4:16:16
  Speaker 9: especially the old women amongst them, say that it is
• 4:16:20
  Speaker 9: placed as a rock before the gate of the nether world,
• 4:16:23
  Speaker 9: but that through the volcano itself, the narrow way leadeth downwards,
• 4:16:27
  Speaker 9: which conducteth to this gate. Now, about the time that
• 4:16:32
  Speaker 9: Zarathustra so adjourned on the Happy Aisles, it happened that
• 4:16:36
  Speaker 9: a ship anchored at the isle on which standeth the
• 4:16:38
  Speaker 9: smoking Mountain, and the crew went ashore to shoot rabbits
• 4:16:44
  Speaker 9: about the noontide hour. However, when the captain and his
• 4:16:47
  Speaker 9: men were together again, they saw suddenly a man coming
• 4:16:50
  Speaker 9: towards them through the air, and a voice said distinctly,
• 4:16:54
  Speaker 9: it is time. It is the highest time. But when
• 4:16:58
  Speaker 9: the figure was nearest to them, it flew past quickly. However,
• 4:17:02
  Speaker 9: like a shadow in the direction of the volcano. Then
• 4:17:05
  Speaker 9: did they recognize, with the greatest surprise that it was Zarathustra.
• 4:17:10
  Speaker 9: For they had all seen him before, except the captain himself,
• 4:17:13
  Speaker 9: and they loved him as the people loved, in such
• 4:17:16
  Speaker 9: wise that love and awe were combined in equal degree. Behold,
• 4:17:22
  Speaker 9: said the helmsman, there goeth Zarathustra to Hell. About the
• 4:17:27
  Speaker 9: same time that these sailors landed on the fire isisle,
• 4:17:30
  Speaker 9: there was a rumor that Zarathustra had appeared, And when
• 4:17:33
  Speaker 9: his friends were asked about it, they said that he
• 4:17:36
  Speaker 9: had gone on board a ship by night, without saying
• 4:17:39
  Speaker 9: whither he was going. Thus there arose some uneasiness. After
• 4:17:44
  Speaker 9: three days, however, there came the story of the ship's
• 4:17:47
  Speaker 9: crew in addition to this uneasiness. And then did all
• 4:17:51
  Speaker 9: the people say that the devil had taken Zarathustra. His
• 4:17:55
  Speaker 9: disciples laughed sure enough at this talk, and one of
• 4:17:58
  Speaker 9: them said, even soon would I believe that Zarathustra hath
• 4:18:02
  Speaker 9: taken the devil. But at the bottom of their hearts
• 4:18:06
  Speaker 9: they were all full of anxiety and longing. So their
• 4:18:09
  Speaker 9: joy was great when on the fifth day Zarathustra appeared
• 4:18:12
  Speaker 9: amongst them. And this is the account of Zarathustra's interview
• 4:18:17
  Speaker 9: with the fire dog. The earth said he hath a skin,
• 4:18:22
  Speaker 9: and this skin hath diseases. One of these diseases, for example,
• 4:18:27
  Speaker 9: is called man, and another of these diseases is called
• 4:18:32
  Speaker 9: the fire dog. Concerning him, men have greatly deceived themselves,
• 4:18:37
  Speaker 9: and let themselves be deceived to fathom this mystery. Did
• 4:18:42
  Speaker 9: I go o'er the sea, and I have seen the
• 4:18:45
  Speaker 9: truth naked, verily, barefooted up to the neck. Now do
• 4:18:49
  Speaker 9: I know how it is? Concerning the fire dog, and
• 4:18:52
  Speaker 9: likewise concerning all the spouting and subversive devils of which
• 4:18:56
  Speaker 9: not only old women are afraid up with THEE fire dog.
• 4:19:01
  Speaker 9: Out of thy depth, cried I, and confess how deep
• 4:19:04
  Speaker 9: that depth is? Whence cometh that which thou snortestop thou
• 4:19:10
  Speaker 9: drinkest copiously at the sea, that doth thine embittered eloquence
• 4:19:14
  Speaker 9: betray in sooth for a dog of the depth, thou
• 4:19:18
  Speaker 9: takest thy nourishment too much from the surface. At the most,
• 4:19:22
  Speaker 9: I regard THEE as the ventriloquist of the earth. And ever,
• 4:19:27
  Speaker 9: when I have heard subversive and spouting devil speak, I
• 4:19:30
  Speaker 9: have found them like THEE embittered, mendacious, and shallow. Ye
• 4:19:35
  Speaker 9: understand how to roar and obscure with ashes. Ye are
• 4:19:39
  Speaker 9: the best braggarts, and have sufficiently learned the art of
• 4:19:42
  Speaker 9: making dregs boil. Where ye are, there must always be
• 4:19:47
  Speaker 9: dregs at hand, and much that is spongy, hollow and compressed.
• 4:19:51
  Speaker 9: It wontth thou freedom freedom. Ye all roar most eagerly,
• 4:19:56
  Speaker 9: But I have unlearned the belief in great events when
• 4:19:59
  Speaker 9: there is much roaring and smoke about them, and believe me,
• 4:20:03
  Speaker 9: friend hullabaloo. The greatest events are not our noisiest but
• 4:20:08
  Speaker 9: our stillest hours, not around the inventors of new noise,
• 4:20:13
  Speaker 9: but around the inventors of new values. Doth the world
• 4:20:16
  Speaker 9: revolve inaudibly? It revolveth and just own to it. Little
• 4:20:23
  Speaker 9: have never been taken place when thy noise and smoke
• 4:20:26
  Speaker 9: passed away. What if a city did become a mummy
• 4:20:29
  Speaker 9: and a statue lay in the mud. And this do
• 4:20:33
  Speaker 9: I say also to the oer throwers of statues. It
• 4:20:37
  Speaker 9: is certainly the greatest folly to throw salt into the
• 4:20:40
  Speaker 9: sea and statues into the mud. In the mud of
• 4:20:44
  Speaker 9: your contempt lay the statue. But it is just its
• 4:20:48
  Speaker 9: law that out of contempt its life and living beauty
• 4:20:51
  Speaker 9: grow again with diviner features. Doth it now arise, seducing
• 4:20:57
  Speaker 9: by its suffering? And verily it will yet thank you
• 4:21:00
  Speaker 9: for overthrowing it, Ye subverters this council, however, do I
• 4:21:05
  Speaker 9: counsel the kings and churches, and to all that is
• 4:21:08
  Speaker 9: weak with age your virtue. Let yourselves be overthrown, that
• 4:21:12
  Speaker 9: ye may again come to life, and that virtue may
• 4:21:15
  Speaker 9: come to you. Thus spake I before the fire dog
• 4:21:20
  Speaker 9: then did he interrupt me sullenly and ask Church, what
• 4:21:24
  Speaker 9: is that? Church answered I, that is a kind of state,
• 4:21:30
  Speaker 9: and indeed the most mandacious. But remain quiet, thou, dissembling dog.
• 4:21:35
  Speaker 9: Thou surely knowest thine own species best like thyself. The
• 4:21:40
  Speaker 9: state is a dissembling dog, like thee. Doth it like
• 4:21:44
  Speaker 9: to speak with smoke and roaring to make believe, like thee,
• 4:21:48
  Speaker 9: that it speaketh out of the heart of things? For
• 4:21:51
  Speaker 9: it seeketh by all means to be the most important
• 4:21:54
  Speaker 9: creature on earth, the state, and people thinketh so. When
• 4:22:00
  Speaker 9: I had said this, the fire dog acted as if
• 4:22:03
  Speaker 9: mad with envy. What cried he the most important creature
• 4:22:08
  Speaker 9: on earth and people thinketh so? And so much vapor
• 4:22:12
  Speaker 9: and terrible voices came out of his throat that I
• 4:22:14
  Speaker 9: thought he would choke with vexation and envy. At last
• 4:22:18
  Speaker 9: he became calmer, and his panting subsided. As soon however,
• 4:22:23
  Speaker 9: as he was quiet, I said, laughingly, thou art angry
• 4:22:26
  Speaker 9: fire dog. So I am in the right about thee,
• 4:22:30
  Speaker 9: and that I may also maintain the right hear the
• 4:22:32
  Speaker 9: story of another fire dog. He speaketh actually out of
• 4:22:36
  Speaker 9: the heart of the earth. Gold doth his breath exhale
• 4:22:40
  Speaker 9: in golden rain. So doth his heart desire? What are
• 4:22:45
  Speaker 9: ashes and smoke and hot dregs? To him? Laughter flitteth
• 4:22:49
  Speaker 9: from him like a variegated cloud. Adverses he to thy
• 4:22:53
  Speaker 9: gargling and spewing in grips and the bowels. The gold, however,
• 4:22:58
  Speaker 9: and the laughter, these doth he take out of the
• 4:23:00
  Speaker 9: heart of the earth, For that thou mayst know it.
• 4:23:04
  Speaker 9: The heart of the earth is of gold. When the
• 4:23:08
  Speaker 9: fire dog heard this, he could no longer endure to
• 4:23:11
  Speaker 9: listen to me. Abashed did he draw in his tail,
• 4:23:15
  Speaker 9: said bow wow, in a cowed voice, and crept down
• 4:23:18
  Speaker 9: into his cave. Thus told Zarathustra. His disciples, however, hardly
• 4:23:24
  Speaker 9: listened to him, so great was their eagerness to tell
• 4:23:27
  Speaker 9: him about the sailors, the rabbits, and the flying man.
• 4:23:31
  Speaker 9: What am I to think of it, said Zarathustra. Am
• 4:23:34
  Speaker 9: I indeed a ghost, But it may have been my shadow.
• 4:23:39
  Speaker 9: Ye have surely heard something of the wanderer in his shadow.
• 4:23:43
  Speaker 9: One thing, however, is certain. I must keep a tighter
• 4:23:46
  Speaker 9: hold of it, otherwise it will spoil my reputation. And
• 4:23:51
  Speaker 9: once more Zarathustra shook his head, and wondered what am
• 4:23:55
  Speaker 9: I to think of it? Said he once more? Why
• 4:23:59
  Speaker 9: did the ghosts cry? It is time? It is the
• 4:24:02
  Speaker 9: highest time? For what is it? Then? The highest time?
• 4:24:09
  Speaker 9: Thus spake Zarathustra. End of Chapter forty Part two, Chapter
• 4:24:21
  Speaker 9: forty one. The south Sayer and I saw a great
• 4:24:28
  Speaker 9: sadness come over mankind. The best turned weary of their works.
• 4:24:33
  Speaker 9: A doctrine appeared, A faith ran beside it. All is empty,
• 4:24:38
  Speaker 9: all is alike, all hath been. And from all hills
• 4:24:43
  Speaker 9: they're re echoed, all is empty, all is alike, all
• 4:24:48
  Speaker 9: hath been. To be sure, we have harvested. But why
• 4:24:54
  Speaker 9: have all our fruits become rotten and brown? What was it?
• 4:24:58
  Speaker 9: Fell last night from the evil moon in vain? Was
• 4:25:02
  Speaker 9: all our labor poison? Hath our wine become the evil eye?
• 4:25:07
  Speaker 9: Hath singed?
• 4:25:08
  Speaker 7: Yellow?
• 4:25:08
  Speaker 9: Our fields and hearts arid? Have we all become and
• 4:25:14
  Speaker 9: fire falling upon us? Then do we turn dust like ashes? Yea,
• 4:25:20
  Speaker 9: the fire itself have we made a weary? All our
• 4:25:26
  Speaker 9: fountains have dried up. Even the sea hath receded. All
• 4:25:31
  Speaker 9: the ground trieth to gape, But the depth will not swallow.
• 4:25:39
  Speaker 9: Alas where is there still a sea in which one
• 4:25:43
  Speaker 9: could be drowned. So soundeth our plant across shallow swamps. Verily,
• 4:25:52
  Speaker 9: even for dying, have we become too weary? Now do
• 4:25:56
  Speaker 9: we keep awake and live on in sepulcher. Thus did
• 4:26:02
  Speaker 9: Zarathustra hear a soothsayer speak, and the foreboding touched his
• 4:26:07
  Speaker 9: heart and transformed him. Sorrowfully did he go about and wearily,
• 4:26:13
  Speaker 9: and he became like unto those of whom the soothsayer
• 4:26:17
  Speaker 9: had spoken. Verily, said he unto his disciples. A little while,
• 4:26:23
  Speaker 9: and there cometh of the long twilight. Alas, how shall
• 4:26:28
  Speaker 9: I preserve my light through it? That it may not
• 4:26:33
  Speaker 9: smother in this sorrowfulness? To a remoter world? Shall it
• 4:26:38
  Speaker 9: be a light, and also to remotest nights. Thus did
• 4:26:43
  Speaker 9: Zarathustra go about, grieved in his heart, and for three
• 4:26:47
  Speaker 9: days he did not take any meat or drink. He
• 4:26:50
  Speaker 9: had no rest, and lost his speech. At last it
• 4:26:54
  Speaker 9: came to pass that he fell into a deep sleep.
• 4:26:59
  Speaker 9: His disciples, how over, sat around him in long night watches,
• 4:27:03
  Speaker 9: and waited anxiously to see if he would awake and
• 4:27:05
  Speaker 9: speak again and recover from his affliction. And this is
• 4:27:11
  Speaker 9: the discourse that Zarathustra spake when he awoke. His voice, however,
• 4:27:16
  Speaker 9: came unto his disciples as from afar. Here I pray
• 4:27:22
  Speaker 9: you the dream that I dreamed my friends, and helped
• 4:27:27
  Speaker 9: me to divine its meaning A riddle? Is it still
• 4:27:32
  Speaker 9: unto me? This dream? The meaning is hidden in it
• 4:27:35
  Speaker 9: and encaged, and doth not yet fly above it on
• 4:27:39
  Speaker 9: free pinions? All life had I renounced? So I dreamed
• 4:27:47
  Speaker 9: night watchmen, graveguardian? Had I become aloft in the lone
• 4:27:51
  Speaker 9: mountain fortress of death? There did I guard his coffins
• 4:27:57
  Speaker 9: full stood the musty vaults of those trophy of victory
• 4:28:02
  Speaker 9: out of glass coffins, did vanquished life gaze upon me?
• 4:28:07
  Speaker 9: The odor of dust covered eternities. Did I breathe sultry
• 4:28:11
  Speaker 9: and dust covered lay my soul? And who could have
• 4:28:14
  Speaker 9: aired his soul? There? Brightness of midnight was ever around me.
• 4:28:20
  Speaker 9: Lonesomeness cowered beside her, and as the third death rattle
• 4:28:25
  Speaker 9: stillness the worst of my female friends. Keys did I carry,
• 4:28:32
  Speaker 9: the rustiest of all keys, and I knew how to
• 4:28:35
  Speaker 9: open with them? The most creaking of all gates, like
• 4:28:41
  Speaker 9: a bitterly angry croaking, ran the sound through the long corridors.
• 4:28:46
  Speaker 9: When the leaves of the gate opened ungraciously did this
• 4:28:50
  Speaker 9: bird cry? Unwillingly? Was it awakened? But more frightful even,
• 4:28:56
  Speaker 9: and more heart strangling was it when it again became
• 4:29:00
  Speaker 9: silent and still all around, And I alone sat in
• 4:29:04
  Speaker 9: that malignant silence. Thus did time pass with me and
• 4:29:10
  Speaker 9: slip by? If time there still was? What do I
• 4:29:15
  Speaker 9: know thereof? But at last there happened that which awoke me.
• 4:29:23
  Speaker 9: Thrice did there peal peals at the gate like thunders?
• 4:29:27
  Speaker 9: Thrice did the vaults resound and howl again? Then did
• 4:29:32
  Speaker 9: I go to the gate? Alpa cried I who carrieth
• 4:29:37
  Speaker 9: his ashes unto the mountain? Alpa, Alpa, who carrieth his
• 4:29:43
  Speaker 9: ashes unto the mountain? And I pressed the key and
• 4:29:49
  Speaker 9: pulled at the gate, and exerted myself, But not a
• 4:29:52
  Speaker 9: finger's breadth was it yet open. Then did a roaring
• 4:29:57
  Speaker 9: wind tear the folds apart, whistling, whizzing and piercing. It
• 4:30:02
  Speaker 9: threw unto me a black coffin, And the roaring and
• 4:30:07
  Speaker 9: whistling and whizzing, the coffin burst up and spouted out
• 4:30:11
  Speaker 9: a thousand peals of laughter, and a thousand caricatures of children, angels, owls, fools,
• 4:30:19
  Speaker 9: and a child sized butterflies laughed and mocked and roared
• 4:30:24
  Speaker 9: at me fearfully. Was I terrified? Thereby it prostrated me,
• 4:30:31
  Speaker 9: and I cried with horror as never I cried before,
• 4:30:35
  Speaker 9: But mine own crying awoke me, and I came to myself.
• 4:30:41
  Speaker 9: Thus did Zarathustra relate his dream, and then was silent,
• 4:30:45
  Speaker 9: for as yet he knew not the interpretation thereof. But
• 4:30:51
  Speaker 9: the disciple, whom he loved most arose quickly seized Zarathustra's
• 4:30:55
  Speaker 9: hand and said, thy life itself interpreteth unto us this
• 4:31:01
  Speaker 9: dream of Zarathustra. Art thou not thyself the wind with
• 4:31:05
  Speaker 9: shrill whistling, which bursteth open the gates of the fortress
• 4:31:10
  Speaker 9: of death. Art thou not thyself the coffin full of
• 4:31:14
  Speaker 9: many hued malices and angel caricatures of life. Verily like
• 4:31:20
  Speaker 9: a thousand peals, a children's laughter cometh Zarathustra into all sepulchers,
• 4:31:26
  Speaker 9: laughing at those night watchmen and grave guardians, and whoever
• 4:31:31
  Speaker 9: else rattleth with sinister keys with thy laughter, Wilt thou
• 4:31:36
  Speaker 9: frighten and prostrate them, fainting and recovering, will demonstrate thy
• 4:31:41
  Speaker 9: power over them. And when the long twilight cometh and
• 4:31:45
  Speaker 9: the mortal weariness, even then, wilt thou not disappear from
• 4:31:49
  Speaker 9: our firmament, Thou advocate of life new stars, Hast thou
• 4:31:56
  Speaker 9: made us see a new nocturnal glories. Verily, laughter itself,
• 4:32:02
  Speaker 9: Hast thou spread out over us like a many hued canopy.
• 4:32:06
  Speaker 9: Now will children's laughter ever from coffin's flow? Now will
• 4:32:11
  Speaker 9: a stronger wind ever come victoriously unto all mortal weariness?
• 4:32:16
  Speaker 9: Of this? Thou art thyself, the pledge, and the prophet.
• 4:32:20
  Speaker 9: Verily they themselves didst thou dream thine enemies, That was
• 4:32:26
  Speaker 9: thy sorest dream. But as thou wokest from them and
• 4:32:31
  Speaker 9: camest to thyself, so shall they awaken from themselves and
• 4:32:35
  Speaker 9: come unto thee. Thus spake the Disciple and all the others.
• 4:32:40
  Speaker 9: Then thronged around Zarathustra, grasped him by the hands, and
• 4:32:45
  Speaker 9: tried to persuade him to leave his bed in his
• 4:32:48
  Speaker 9: sadness and return unto them. Zarathustra, however, sat upright on
• 4:32:54
  Speaker 9: his couch with an absent look, like one returning from
• 4:32:59
  Speaker 9: long foreign sojourn. Did he look on his disciples and
• 4:33:02
  Speaker 9: examine their features. But still he knew them not. When, however,
• 4:33:08
  Speaker 9: they raised him and set him upon his feet, behold,
• 4:33:12
  Speaker 9: all on a sudden his eye changed. He understood everything
• 4:33:16
  Speaker 9: that had happened, stroked his beard, and said, with a
• 4:33:19
  Speaker 9: strong voice, Well, this hath just its time. But see
• 4:33:25
  Speaker 9: to it, my disciples, that we have a good repast
• 4:33:28
  Speaker 9: and without delay. Thus do I mean to make amends
• 4:33:32
  Speaker 9: for bad dreams. The soothsayer, however, shall eat and drink
• 4:33:36
  Speaker 9: at my side, And verily I will yet show him
• 4:33:39
  Speaker 9: a sea in which he can drown himself. Thus spake Zarathustra.
• 4:33:46
  Speaker 9: Then did he gaze long into the face of the
• 4:33:48
  Speaker 9: disciple who had been the dream interpreter, and shook his head.
• 4:33:55
  Speaker 9: End of Chapter forty one, Part two, Chapter forty two Redemption.
• 4:34:10
  Speaker 9: When Zarathustra went one day over the great bridge, then
• 4:34:15
  Speaker 9: did the cripples and beggars surround him. The hunchback spake
• 4:34:18
  Speaker 9: thus unto him. Behold, Zarathustra. Even the people learn from
• 4:34:24
  Speaker 9: THEE and acquire faith in thy teaching. But for them
• 4:34:28
  Speaker 9: to believe fully in THEE, one thing is still needful.
• 4:34:32
  Speaker 9: Thou must first of all convince us cripples. Here hast
• 4:34:39
  Speaker 9: thou now a fine selection, and verily an opportunity with
• 4:34:43
  Speaker 9: more than one. Forelock the blind, canst thou heal and
• 4:34:48
  Speaker 9: make the lame run? And from him who hath too
• 4:34:53
  Speaker 9: much behind? Couldst thou well also take away a little
• 4:34:58
  Speaker 9: that I think would be the right method to make
• 4:35:01
  Speaker 9: the cripples believe in Zarathustra. Zarathustra, however, answered thus unto
• 4:35:08
  Speaker 9: him who so spake, When one taketh his hump from
• 4:35:12
  Speaker 9: the hunchback, then doth one take from him his spirit?
• 4:35:18
  Speaker 9: So do the people teach. And when one giveth the
• 4:35:22
  Speaker 9: blind man eyes, then doth he see too many bad
• 4:35:26
  Speaker 9: things on the earth, so that he curseth him who
• 4:35:30
  Speaker 9: healed him. He, however, who maketh the lame man run,
• 4:35:35
  Speaker 9: inflicteth upon him the greatest injury, for hardly can he
• 4:35:39
  Speaker 9: run when his vices run away with him. So do
• 4:35:44
  Speaker 9: the people teach concerning cripples, And why should not Zarathustra
• 4:35:48
  Speaker 9: also learn from the people When the people learn from Zarathustra.
• 4:35:55
  Speaker 9: It is, however, the smallest thing unto me, since I
• 4:35:58
  Speaker 9: have been amongst men, to see one person lacking an eye,
• 4:36:03
  Speaker 9: another an ear, and a thirdle leg and that others
• 4:36:06
  Speaker 9: have lost the tongue or the nose or the head.
• 4:36:11
  Speaker 9: I see, and have seen worse things and diverse things,
• 4:36:15
  Speaker 9: so hideous that I should neither like to speak of
• 4:36:19
  Speaker 9: all matters, nor even keep silent about some of them, namely,
• 4:36:24
  Speaker 9: men who lack everything except that they have too much
• 4:36:28
  Speaker 9: of one thing. Men who are nothing more than a
• 4:36:32
  Speaker 9: big eye, or a big mouth, or a big belly,
• 4:36:35
  Speaker 9: or something else, big reversed cripples, I call such men.
• 4:36:41
  Speaker 9: And when I came out of my solitude, and for
• 4:36:44
  Speaker 9: the first time passed over this bridge, then I could
• 4:36:47
  Speaker 9: not trust mine eyes, but looked again and again, and said,
• 4:36:50
  Speaker 9: at last, that is an ear, an ear as big
• 4:36:53
  Speaker 9: as a man. I look still more attentively, and actually
• 4:36:58
  Speaker 9: there did move under the ear, or something that was
• 4:37:01
  Speaker 9: pitiably small and poor and slim. And in truth, this
• 4:37:06
  Speaker 9: immense ear was perched on a small, thin stalk. The stalk, however,
• 4:37:11
  Speaker 9: was a man. A person putting a glass to his
• 4:37:16
  Speaker 9: eyes could even recognize further a small, envious countenance, and
• 4:37:21
  Speaker 9: also that a bloated soult dangled at the stalk. The
• 4:37:25
  Speaker 9: people told me, however, that the big ear was not
• 4:37:29
  Speaker 9: only a man, but a great man, a genius. But
• 4:37:33
  Speaker 9: I never believed in the people when they spake of
• 4:37:35
  Speaker 9: great men. And I hold to my belief that it
• 4:37:39
  Speaker 9: was a reversed cripple who had too little of everything
• 4:37:43
  Speaker 9: and too much of one thing. When Zarathustra had spoken
• 4:37:48
  Speaker 9: thus unto the hunchback, and unto those of whom the
• 4:37:52
  Speaker 9: hunchback was the mouthpiece and advocate, then did he turn
• 4:37:56
  Speaker 9: to his disciples in profound dejection, and said, my friends,
• 4:38:01
  Speaker 9: I walkest amongst men, as amongst the fragments and limbs
• 4:38:04
  Speaker 9: of human beings. This is the terrible thing to mine.
• 4:38:08
  Speaker 9: I that I find man broken up and scattered about
• 4:38:13
  Speaker 9: as on a battle and butcher ground. And when mine
• 4:38:16
  Speaker 9: eye fleeth from the present to the bygone, it findeth
• 4:38:20
  Speaker 9: ever the same fragments and limbs and fearful chances, but
• 4:38:25
  Speaker 9: no men the present and the bygone upon earth. Ah,
• 4:38:30
  Speaker 9: my friends, that is my most unbearable trouble. And I
• 4:38:35
  Speaker 9: should not know how to live if I were not
• 4:38:38
  Speaker 9: a seer of what is to come, a seer, a purposer,
• 4:38:43
  Speaker 9: a creator, a future itself and a bridge to the future.
• 4:38:47
  Speaker 9: And alas also, as it were, a cripple on this
• 4:38:51
  Speaker 9: bridge all that is Zarathustra. And ye also asked yourselves
• 4:38:57
  Speaker 9: often who is Zarathustra to us? What shall he be called?
• 4:39:01
  Speaker 9: By us? And like me, did ye give yourselves questions
• 4:39:05
  Speaker 9: for answers. Is he a promiser or a fulfiller, A
• 4:39:10
  Speaker 9: conqueror or an inheritor, a harvest or a plowshare, A
• 4:39:16
  Speaker 9: physician or a healed one? Is he a poet or
• 4:39:19
  Speaker 9: a genuine one, an emancipator or a subjugator, a good
• 4:39:24
  Speaker 9: one or an evil one? I walk amongst men as
• 4:39:30
  Speaker 9: the fragments of the future, that future which I contemplate.
• 4:39:36
  Speaker 9: And it is all my poetisation, an aspiration to compose
• 4:39:40
  Speaker 9: and collect into unity. What is fragment and riddle and
• 4:39:44
  Speaker 9: fearful chance? And how could I endure to be a
• 4:39:48
  Speaker 9: man if man were not also the composer and riddle
• 4:39:52
  Speaker 9: reader and redeemer of chance, to redeem what is past,
• 4:39:58
  Speaker 9: and to transform every it was into Thus would I
• 4:40:03
  Speaker 9: have it that only do I call redemption will? So
• 4:40:11
  Speaker 9: is the emancipator and joy bringer called Thus have I
• 4:40:15
  Speaker 9: taught you, my friends? But now learn this? Likewise, the
• 4:40:21
  Speaker 9: will itself is still a prisoner, willing emancipateith. But what
• 4:40:29
  Speaker 9: is that called which still putteth the emancipator in chains?
• 4:40:36
  Speaker 9: It was Thus is the will's teeth gnashing and lonesomest
• 4:40:41
  Speaker 9: tribulation called impotent towards what hath been done. It is
• 4:40:47
  Speaker 9: a malicious spectator of all that is passed. Not backward
• 4:40:52
  Speaker 9: can the will will that it cannot break time and
• 4:40:56
  Speaker 9: time's desire, that is the will's lonesomest tribulation. Willing emancipateth
• 4:41:04
  Speaker 9: what doth willing itself devise in order to get free
• 4:41:07
  Speaker 9: from its tribulation and mock at its prison Ah, a
• 4:41:12
  Speaker 9: fool becometh every prisoner foolishly delivereth itself. Also the imprisoned
• 4:41:19
  Speaker 9: will the time doth not run backward, that is its animosity.
• 4:41:27
  Speaker 9: That which was so is the stone which it cannot
• 4:41:31
  Speaker 9: roll called. And thus doth it roll stones out of
• 4:41:37
  Speaker 9: animosity and ill humor, and taketh revenge on whatever doth
• 4:41:41
  Speaker 9: not like it feel rage and ill humor. Thus did
• 4:41:45
  Speaker 9: the will the emancipator become a torturer, and on all
• 4:41:51
  Speaker 9: that is capable of suffering, it taketh revenge because it
• 4:41:55
  Speaker 9: cannot go backward. This yeah, this alone revenge itself, the
• 4:42:02
  Speaker 9: wills antipathy to time and it's It was verily a
• 4:42:09
  Speaker 9: great folly, dwelleth in our will, and it became a
• 4:42:13
  Speaker 9: curse unto all humanity, that this folly acquired spirit, the
• 4:42:18
  Speaker 9: spirit of revenge, my friends, that hath hitherto been man's
• 4:42:23
  Speaker 9: best contemplation. And where there was suffering, it was claimed
• 4:42:28
  Speaker 9: there was always penalty penalty. So calleth itself revenge with
• 4:42:35
  Speaker 9: a lying word. It feigneth a good conscience. And because
• 4:42:40
  Speaker 9: in the willer himself there is suffering, because he cannot
• 4:42:43
  Speaker 9: will backwards. Thus was willing itself and all life claimed
• 4:42:48
  Speaker 9: to be penalty. And then did cloud after cloud roll
• 4:42:53
  Speaker 9: over the spirit, until at last madness preached, everything perisheth.
• 4:42:59
  Speaker 9: Therefore every thing deserveth to perish, And this itself is justice,
• 4:43:06
  Speaker 9: the law of time, that he must devour his children.
• 4:43:10
  Speaker 9: Thus did madness preach, morally, are things ordered according to
• 4:43:15
  Speaker 9: justice and penalty?
• 4:43:18
  Speaker 8: Oh?
• 4:43:18
  Speaker 9: Where is the deliverance from the flux of things and
• 4:43:21
  Speaker 9: from the existence of penalty? Thus did madness preach, can
• 4:43:27
  Speaker 9: there be deliverance when there is eternal justice? Alas unrollable
• 4:43:32
  Speaker 9: is the stone? It was eternal must also be all penalties.
• 4:43:39
  Speaker 9: Thus did madness preach no deed can be annihilated? How
• 4:43:44
  Speaker 9: could it be undone by the penalty? This, this is
• 4:43:48
  Speaker 9: what is eternal in the existence of penalty. That existence
• 4:43:52
  Speaker 9: also must be eternally recurring deed and guilt, unless the
• 4:43:57
  Speaker 9: will should at last deliver itself in willing become non willing.
• 4:44:02
  Speaker 9: But ye know, my brethren, this fabulous song of madness.
• 4:44:07
  Speaker 9: Away from those fabulous songs? Did I lead you? When
• 4:44:10
  Speaker 9: I taught you? The will is a creator? All it
• 4:44:16
  Speaker 9: was is a fragment, a riddle, a fearful chance, until
• 4:44:22
  Speaker 9: the creating will saith there too? But this would I
• 4:44:26
  Speaker 9: have it? Until the creating will saith there too? But
• 4:44:31
  Speaker 9: thus do I will it? Thus shall I will it?
• 4:44:35
  Speaker 9: But did it ever speak? Thus? And when doth this
• 4:44:39
  Speaker 9: take place? Hath the will been unharnessed from its own folly?
• 4:44:44
  Speaker 9: Hath the will become its own deliverer and joy bringer?
• 4:44:48
  Speaker 9: Hath it unlearned the spirit of revenge and all teeth gnashing?
• 4:44:52
  Speaker 9: And who hath taught it? Reconciliation with time? And something
• 4:44:56
  Speaker 9: higher than all reconciliation, something higher than all reconciliation must
• 4:45:02
  Speaker 9: the will will, which is the will to power, But
• 4:45:07
  Speaker 9: how doth that take place? Who hath taught it also
• 4:45:11
  Speaker 9: to will backwards? But at this point in his discourse,
• 4:45:16
  Speaker 9: it chanced that Zarathustra suddenly paused and looked like a
• 4:45:20
  Speaker 9: person in the greatest alarm. With terror in his eyes.
• 4:45:23
  Speaker 9: Did he gaze on his disciples, his glances pierced as
• 4:45:27
  Speaker 9: with arrows, their thoughts and arrear thoughts. But after a
• 4:45:31
  Speaker 9: brief space he again laughed and said, soothingly, it is
• 4:45:36
  Speaker 9: difficult to live amongst men because silence is so difficult,
• 4:45:40
  Speaker 9: especially for a babbler. Thus spake Zarathustra. The hunchback, however,
• 4:45:47
  Speaker 9: had listened to the conversation and had covered his face
• 4:45:51
  Speaker 9: during the time. But when he heard Zarathustra laugh, he
• 4:45:55
  Speaker 9: looked up with curiosity and said, slowly, but why does
• 4:45:59
  Speaker 9: zarathusist speak otherwise unto us? Then unto his disciples? Zarathustra answered,
• 4:46:07
  Speaker 9: what is there to be wondered at? With hunchbacks, one
• 4:46:10
  Speaker 9: may well speak in a hunchbacked way, Very good, said
• 4:46:14
  Speaker 9: the hunchback, And with pupils one may well tell tales
• 4:46:18
  Speaker 9: out of school. But why does Zarathustra speak otherwise unto
• 4:46:23
  Speaker 9: his pupils than unto himself. End of Chapter forty two,
• 4:46:38
  Speaker 9: Part two, Chapter forty three. Manly prudence, not the height.
• 4:46:49
  Speaker 9: It is the declivity that is terrible, the declivity where
• 4:46:54
  Speaker 9: the gaze shooteth downwards and the hand graspeth upwards there
• 4:46:59
  Speaker 9: that the heart become giddy through its double will. Ah, friends,
• 4:47:05
  Speaker 9: do ye divine also my heart's double will? This this
• 4:47:10
  Speaker 9: is my declivity and my danger, that my gaze shooteth
• 4:47:14
  Speaker 9: towards the summit, and my hand would fain clutch and
• 4:47:18
  Speaker 9: lean on the depth to man, clingeth my will with chains?
• 4:47:24
  Speaker 9: Do I bind myself to man? Because I am pulled
• 4:47:27
  Speaker 9: upwards to the superman. For thither doth my other will tend?
• 4:47:35
  Speaker 9: And therefore do I live blindly among men as if
• 4:47:39
  Speaker 9: I knew them, Not that my hand may not entirely
• 4:47:43
  Speaker 9: lose belief in firmness. I know not you men. This
• 4:47:48
  Speaker 9: gloom and consolation is often spread around me. I sit
• 4:47:54
  Speaker 9: at the gateway for every rogue, and ask who wisheth
• 4:47:57
  Speaker 9: to deceive me? This is my first manly prudence, that
• 4:48:02
  Speaker 9: I allow myself to be deceived, so as not to
• 4:48:05
  Speaker 9: be on my guard against deceivers. If I were on
• 4:48:11
  Speaker 9: my guard against man. How could man be an anchor
• 4:48:14
  Speaker 9: to my ball? Too easily would I be pulled upwards
• 4:48:18
  Speaker 9: in a way, this providence is over my fate, that
• 4:48:23
  Speaker 9: I have to be without foresight. And he who would
• 4:48:28
  Speaker 9: not languish amongst men must learn to drink out of
• 4:48:31
  Speaker 9: all glasses. And he who would keep clean amongst men
• 4:48:36
  Speaker 9: must know how to wash himself even with dirty water.
• 4:48:41
  Speaker 9: And thus spake I often to myself for consolation, courage,
• 4:48:46
  Speaker 9: cheer up old heart, and unhappiness hath failed to befall
• 4:48:51
  Speaker 9: thee enjoy that as thy happiness. This, however, is mine.
• 4:48:59
  Speaker 9: Other man prudence, I am more forbearing to the vein
• 4:49:04
  Speaker 9: than to the proud, is not wounded. Vanity the mother
• 4:49:08
  Speaker 9: of all tragedies. Where however pride is wounded, there there
• 4:49:14
  Speaker 9: groweth up something better than pride. But life may be
• 4:49:19
  Speaker 9: fair to behold its game must be well played. For
• 4:49:23
  Speaker 9: that purpose, however, it needeth good actors. Good actors have
• 4:49:29
  Speaker 9: I found all the vein once they play, and wish
• 4:49:33
  Speaker 9: people to be fond of beholding them.
• 4:49:36
  Speaker 6: All.
• 4:49:36
  Speaker 9: Their spirit is in this wish. They represent themselves. They
• 4:49:41
  Speaker 9: invent themselves in their neighborhood. I like to look upon
• 4:49:45
  Speaker 9: life it cureth of melancholy. Therefore am I forbearing to
• 4:49:51
  Speaker 9: the vein, because they are the physicians of my melancholy,
• 4:49:55
  Speaker 9: and keep me attached to man as to a drama.
• 4:50:00
  Speaker 9: If further, who conceiveth the full depth of the modesty
• 4:50:03
  Speaker 9: of the vein man, I am favorable to him and
• 4:50:07
  Speaker 9: sympathetic on account of his modesty. From you? Would he
• 4:50:12
  Speaker 9: learn his belief in himself. He feedeth upon your glances,
• 4:50:17
  Speaker 9: He eateth praise out of your hands your lies. Doth
• 4:50:21
  Speaker 9: even he believe when you lie favorably about him or
• 4:50:25
  Speaker 9: in its depths? Scieth his heart? What am I? And
• 4:50:32
  Speaker 9: if that be the true virtue which is unconscious of itself,
• 4:50:37
  Speaker 9: while the vein man is unconscious of his modesty. This is, however,
• 4:50:42
  Speaker 9: my third manly prudence. I am not put out of
• 4:50:46
  Speaker 9: conceit with the wicked by your timorousness. I am happy
• 4:50:52
  Speaker 9: to see the marvels the warm sun, hatcheth, tigers and
• 4:50:55
  Speaker 9: palms and rattlesnakes. Also among men there is a beautiful
• 4:51:00
  Speaker 9: brood of the warm sun, and much that is marvelous
• 4:51:05
  Speaker 9: in the wicked. In truth, as your wisest did not
• 4:51:10
  Speaker 9: seem to me, so very wise, so found I also
• 4:51:13
  Speaker 9: human wickedness below the fame of it, And oft did
• 4:51:17
  Speaker 9: I ask, with a shake of the head, why still rattle? Ye, rattlesnakes.
• 4:51:23
  Speaker 9: Verily there is still a future even for evil. And
• 4:51:27
  Speaker 9: the warmest south is still undiscovered by man. How many
• 4:51:32
  Speaker 9: things are now called the worst wickedness, which are only
• 4:51:35
  Speaker 9: twelve feet broad and three months long. Some day, however,
• 4:51:39
  Speaker 9: will greater dragons come into the world. For that the
• 4:51:44
  Speaker 9: superman may not lack his dragon, the super dragon that
• 4:51:48
  Speaker 9: is worthy of him. There must still much warm sun
• 4:51:52
  Speaker 9: glow on moist virgin forests. Out of your wild cats,
• 4:51:58
  Speaker 9: must tigers have evolved, and out of your poisoned toads crocodiles.
• 4:52:03
  Speaker 9: For the good hunters shall have a good hunt. And verily,
• 4:52:07
  Speaker 9: ye good and just in you there is much to
• 4:52:10
  Speaker 9: be laughed at, and especially your fear of what hath
• 4:52:13
  Speaker 9: hitherto been called the devil. So alien are ye and
• 4:52:18
  Speaker 9: your souls to what is great that to you the
• 4:52:21
  Speaker 9: superman would be frightful in his goodness, and ye wise
• 4:52:27
  Speaker 9: and knowing ones, ye would flee from the solar glow
• 4:52:30
  Speaker 9: of the wisdom in which the Superman joyfully bathe his
• 4:52:34
  Speaker 9: nakedness ye, highest men who have come within my ken.
• 4:52:40
  Speaker 9: This is my doubt of you, and my secret laughter.
• 4:52:43
  Speaker 9: I suspect you would call my superman a devil. Ah.
• 4:52:49
  Speaker 9: I became tired of those highest and best ones from
• 4:52:53
  Speaker 9: their height, that I long to be up out and
• 4:52:56
  Speaker 9: away to the superman. A horror came over me when
• 4:53:00
  Speaker 9: I saw those best ones naked. Then there grew for
• 4:53:04
  Speaker 9: me the pinions to soar away into distant futures, into
• 4:53:09
  Speaker 9: more distant futures, into more southern souths than ever artists
• 4:53:14
  Speaker 9: dreamed of Thither, where gods are ashamed of all clothes
• 4:53:21
  Speaker 9: but disguise. Do I want to see you, ye, neighbors
• 4:53:24
  Speaker 9: and fellow men, and well attired, and vain and estimable
• 4:53:28
  Speaker 9: as the good and just, and disguise, while I myself
• 4:53:33
  Speaker 9: sit amongst you, that I may mistake you and myself,
• 4:53:37
  Speaker 9: For that is my last manly prudence. Thus spake Zarathustra.
• 4:53:46
  Speaker 9: End of Chapter forty three, Part two, Chapter forty four,
• 4:53:58
  Speaker 9: The stillest hour? What hath happened unto me? My friends?
• 4:54:04
  Speaker 9: Ye see me troubled, driven forth, unwillingly obedient, ready to
• 4:54:10
  Speaker 9: go alas to go away from you? Yea once more
• 4:54:15
  Speaker 9: must Zarathustra retire to his solitude, but unjoyously this time
• 4:54:20
  Speaker 9: doth the bear go back to his cave? What hath happened?
• 4:54:26
  Speaker 9: Unto me? Who ordereth this? Ah? Mine angry mistress? Wisheth it?
• 4:54:33
  Speaker 9: So she spake unto me? Have I ever named her name?
• 4:54:38
  Speaker 9: To you? Yesterday towards evening there spake unto me my
• 4:54:43
  Speaker 9: stillest hour, that is the name of my terrible mistress?
• 4:54:50
  Speaker 9: And thus did it happen? For everything? Must I tell
• 4:54:54
  Speaker 9: you that your heart may not harden against the suddenly
• 4:54:58
  Speaker 9: departing one. Do ye know the terror of him who
• 4:55:02
  Speaker 9: followeth asleep to the very toes? He is terrified because
• 4:55:08
  Speaker 9: the ground giveth way under him, and the dream beginneth
• 4:55:13
  Speaker 9: This do I speak unto you in parable? Yesterday? At
• 4:55:17
  Speaker 9: the stillest hour? Did the ground give way under me?
• 4:55:20
  Speaker 9: The dream began? The hour hand moved on the time
• 4:55:25
  Speaker 9: piece of my life drew breath. Never did I hear
• 4:55:29
  Speaker 9: such stillness around me, so that my heart was terrified.
• 4:55:35
  Speaker 9: Then was there spoken unto me without voice? Thou knowest it, Zarathustra.
• 4:55:42
  Speaker 9: And I cried in terror at this whispering, and the
• 4:55:45
  Speaker 9: blood left my face. But I was silent. Then was
• 4:55:50
  Speaker 9: there once more spoken unto me without voice, Thou.
• 4:55:54
  Speaker 8: Knowest it, Zarathustra, but thou dost not speak it?
• 4:56:00
  Speaker 9: And at last I answered, like one defiant YEA, I know,
• 4:56:04
  Speaker 9: but I will not speak it. Then was there again
• 4:56:09
  Speaker 9: spoken unto me, without voice.
• 4:56:12
  Speaker 8: Thou wilt not, Zarathustra, is this true? Conceal thyself? Not
• 4:56:19
  Speaker 8: behind thy defiance?
• 4:56:23
  Speaker 9: And I wept and trembled like a child, and said, ah,
• 4:56:27
  Speaker 9: I would, indeed, But how can I do it? Exempt
• 4:56:31
  Speaker 9: me only from this? It is beyond my power. Then
• 4:56:36
  Speaker 9: was there again spoken unto me without voice, What matter
• 4:56:41
  Speaker 9: about thyself? Zarathustra, speak thy word and succumb? And I answered, ah,
• 4:56:50
  Speaker 9: is it my word? Who am I? I await the
• 4:56:55
  Speaker 9: worthier one? I am not worthy even to succumb by it.
• 4:57:01
  Speaker 9: Then was there again spoken unto me without voice, what
• 4:57:05
  Speaker 9: matter about thyself?
• 4:57:09
  Speaker 8: Thou art not yet umble enough for me?
• 4:57:13
  Speaker 9: Humility hath the hardest skin? And I answered, what hath not?
• 4:57:21
  Speaker 9: The skin of my humility endured at the foot of
• 4:57:25
  Speaker 9: my height? Do I dwell how high are my summits?
• 4:57:29
  Speaker 9: No one hath yet told me, but well do I
• 4:57:32
  Speaker 9: know my valleys? Then was there again spoken unto me
• 4:57:38
  Speaker 9: without voice, Oh Zarathustra, he who hath to remove mountains,
• 4:57:46
  Speaker 9: removeth also valleys and plains. And I answered, as yet
• 4:57:54
  Speaker 9: hath my word not removed mountains? And what I have
• 4:57:57
  Speaker 9: spoken hath not reached man. I went indeed unto men,
• 4:58:02
  Speaker 9: But not yet have I attained unto them? Then was
• 4:58:07
  Speaker 9: there again spoken unto me without voice?
• 4:58:11
  Speaker 8: What knowest thou thereof.
• 4:58:15
  Speaker 9: The dew falleth on.
• 4:58:17
  Speaker 8: The grass when the night is most silent?
• 4:58:22
  Speaker 9: And I answered, they mocked me when I found and
• 4:58:26
  Speaker 9: walked in mine own path, and certainly did my feet
• 4:58:31
  Speaker 9: then tremble? And thus did they speak unto me? Thou
• 4:58:35
  Speaker 9: forgottest the path before? Now dost thou also forget how
• 4:58:39
  Speaker 9: to walk? Then was there again spoken unto me without voice?
• 4:58:46
  Speaker 8: What matter about their mockery? Thou art one who hast
• 4:58:51
  Speaker 8: unlearned to obey? Now shalt thou command? Knowest thou not?
• 4:58:59
  Speaker 8: Who is more is needed by all? He commanded great things.
• 4:59:06
  Speaker 8: To execute great things is difficult, But the more difficult
• 4:59:11
  Speaker 8: task is to command great things.
• 4:59:15
  Speaker 9: This is thy.
• 4:59:16
  Speaker 8: Most unpardonable obstinacy. Thou hast the power, and thou wilt
• 4:59:23
  Speaker 8: not roll.
• 4:59:26
  Speaker 9: And I answered, I lack the lion's voice for all commanding.
• 4:59:33
  Speaker 9: Then was there again spoken unto me, as a whispering.
• 4:59:39
  Speaker 8: It is the stellest words which bring the storm. Thoughts
• 4:59:45
  Speaker 8: that come with dove's footsteps guide the world. Oh Zarathustra,
• 4:59:53
  Speaker 8: thou shalt go as a shadow of that which is
• 4:59:55
  Speaker 8: to come. Thus wilt thou command, and in command go foremost.
• 5:00:04
  Speaker 8: And I answered, I am ashamed. Then was there again
• 5:00:11
  Speaker 8: spoken unto me, without voice, Thou must yet become a
• 5:00:17
  Speaker 8: child and be without shame. The bride of youth is
• 5:00:23
  Speaker 8: still upon thee. Late hast thou become young? But he
• 5:00:29
  Speaker 8: who had become a child must surmount even his youth.
• 5:00:36
  Speaker 9: And I considered a long while and trembled. At last, However,
• 5:00:41
  Speaker 9: did I say what I had said at first? I
• 5:00:45
  Speaker 9: will not. Then did the laughing take place all around me,
• 5:00:51
  Speaker 9: alas how that laughing lacerated my bowels and cut into
• 5:00:55
  Speaker 9: my heart. And there was spoken unto me for the
• 5:01:00
  Speaker 9: last time, Oh Zarathustra, thy fruits are ripe, but thou
• 5:01:08
  Speaker 9: art not ripe for thy fruits. So must thou go
• 5:01:14
  Speaker 9: again into solitude, for thou shalt yet become mellow. And
• 5:01:23
  Speaker 9: again was there laughing, and it fled. Then did it
• 5:01:28
  Speaker 9: become still around me, as with a double stillness. I lay, however,
• 5:01:34
  Speaker 9: on the ground, and the sweat flowed from my limbs.
• 5:01:39
  Speaker 9: Now have ye heard all? And why I have to
• 5:01:42
  Speaker 9: return into my solitude? Nothing have I kept hidden from you,
• 5:01:47
  Speaker 9: my friends? But even this have ye heard from me?
• 5:01:53
  Speaker 9: Who is still the most reserved of men? And will
• 5:01:56
  Speaker 9: be so? Ah, my friends, I should have something more
• 5:02:02
  Speaker 9: to say unto you. I should have something more to
• 5:02:06
  Speaker 9: give unto you. Why do I not give it? My
• 5:02:11
  Speaker 9: then an neggard. When, however, Zarathustra had spoken these words,
• 5:02:18
  Speaker 9: the violence of his pain and a sense of the
• 5:02:21
  Speaker 9: nearness of his departure from his friends came over him,
• 5:02:25
  Speaker 9: so that he wept aloud, and no one knew how
• 5:02:28
  Speaker 9: to console him. In the night, however, he went away
• 5:02:32
  Speaker 9: alone and left his friends. End of chapter forty four.
• 5:02:43
  Speaker 10: Third part. He look aloft when he longed for exaltation,
• 5:02:49
  Speaker 10: and I look downward because I am exalted. Who among
• 5:02:54
  Speaker 10: you can at the same time laugh and be exalted?
• 5:02:59
  Speaker 10: He who climbed on the highest mountains laughs at all
• 5:03:02
  Speaker 10: the tragic plays and tragic realities. Zarathustra Part one reading
• 5:03:10
  Speaker 10: and writing chapter forty five The Wanderer. Then, when it
• 5:03:19
  Speaker 10: was about midnight, Zarathustra went on his way over the
• 5:03:22
  Speaker 10: ridge of the Isle, that he might arrive early in
• 5:03:25
  Speaker 10: the morning at the other coast, because there he meant
• 5:03:29
  Speaker 10: to embark, For there was a good roadstead there in
• 5:03:33
  Speaker 10: which foreign ships also liked to anchor. Those ships took
• 5:03:37
  Speaker 10: many people with them who wished to cross over from
• 5:03:40
  Speaker 10: the Happy Isles. So when Zarathustra thus ascended the mountain,
• 5:03:46
  Speaker 10: he sought on the way of his many solitary wanderings
• 5:03:49
  Speaker 10: from youth onwards, and how many mountains and ridges and
• 5:03:53
  Speaker 10: summits he had already climbed. I am a wanderer, and
• 5:03:58
  Speaker 10: mountain climber heat to his heart. I love not the plains,
• 5:04:03
  Speaker 10: and it seemeth I cannot long sit still, And whatever
• 5:04:08
  Speaker 10: may still overtake me as fate and experience a wandering
• 5:04:12
  Speaker 10: will be therein and a mountain climbing. In the end,
• 5:04:16
  Speaker 10: one experienceth only oneself. The time is now past when
• 5:04:24
  Speaker 10: accidents could befall me, And what could now fall to
• 5:04:27
  Speaker 10: my lot which would not already be mine own? It
• 5:04:32
  Speaker 10: if returneth only it cometh here to me at last
• 5:04:36
  Speaker 10: mine own self, and such of it as has been
• 5:04:39
  Speaker 10: long abroad and scattered among things and accidents. And one
• 5:04:45
  Speaker 10: thing more do I know? I stand now before my
• 5:04:48
  Speaker 10: last summit, and before that which has been longest reserved
• 5:04:52
  Speaker 10: for me. Ah, my hardest pass must I ascend. Ah,
• 5:04:58
  Speaker 10: I have begun my lonesomest wandering. He, however, who is
• 5:05:04
  Speaker 10: of my nature, dost not avoid such an hour, the
• 5:05:07
  Speaker 10: hour that saith unto him. Now only dost thou go
• 5:05:11
  Speaker 10: the way to thy greatness summit an abyss. These are
• 5:05:15
  Speaker 10: now comprised together. Thou goest the way to thy greatness.
• 5:05:22
  Speaker 10: Now hath it become thy last refuge? What was hitherto
• 5:05:26
  Speaker 10: thy last danger? Thou goest the way to thy greatness.
• 5:05:30
  Speaker 10: It must now be thy best courage. That there is
• 5:05:33
  Speaker 10: no longer any path behind thee. Thou goest the way
• 5:05:37
  Speaker 10: to thy greatness. Here shall no one steal after thee.
• 5:05:41
  Speaker 10: Thy foot itself has effaced the path behind thee, and
• 5:05:45
  Speaker 10: ever it st undeth threaten impossibility. And if all ladders
• 5:05:52
  Speaker 10: henceforth fail thee, then thou must learn to mount upon
• 5:05:55
  Speaker 10: thine own head. How couldst thou mount upward otherwise upon
• 5:06:01
  Speaker 10: thine own head? And beyond thine own heart. Now must
• 5:06:06
  Speaker 10: the gentlest in thee become the hardest. He who hath
• 5:06:11
  Speaker 10: always much indulged himself sickness. At last, by his much indulgence,
• 5:06:18
  Speaker 10: praises on what maketh hardy. I do not praise the
• 5:06:21
  Speaker 10: land where butter and honey flow. To learn to look
• 5:06:26
  Speaker 10: away from oneself is necessary in order to see many things.
• 5:06:32
  Speaker 10: This hardness is needed by every mountain climber. He, however,
• 5:06:39
  Speaker 10: who is obtrusive with his eyes as a discerner, how
• 5:06:43
  Speaker 10: can he ever see more of anything than its foreground.
• 5:06:48
  Speaker 10: But thou, o Zarathustra, wouldst view the ground of everything
• 5:06:53
  Speaker 10: and its background. Thus must thou mount even above thyself
• 5:06:59
  Speaker 10: up woods, until thou hast even thy stars under thee
• 5:07:05
  Speaker 10: yea to look down upon myself and even upon my stars.
• 5:07:10
  Speaker 10: That only would I call my summit that hath remained
• 5:07:13
  Speaker 10: for me as my last summit. Thus spake Zarathustra to himself,
• 5:07:21
  Speaker 10: while ascending, comforting his heart with harsh maxims. For he
• 5:07:26
  Speaker 10: was sore at heart as he had never been before.
• 5:07:31
  Speaker 10: And when he had reached the top of the mountain ridge,
• 5:07:34
  Speaker 10: behold there lay the other sea spread out before him,
• 5:07:38
  Speaker 10: and he stood still and was long silent. The night, however,
• 5:07:43
  Speaker 10: was cold at this height and clear and starry. I
• 5:07:50
  Speaker 10: recognize my destiny, said he at last, sadly. Well, I
• 5:07:55
  Speaker 10: am ready. Now hath my last lonesomeness begun? Ah, this somber,
• 5:08:02
  Speaker 10: sad sea below me. Ah, this somber nocturnal vexation our
• 5:08:09
  Speaker 10: fate and sea to you? Must I now go down?
• 5:08:16
  Speaker 10: Before my highest mountain do I stand, and before my
• 5:08:19
  Speaker 10: longest wandering Therefore must I go deeper down than I
• 5:08:24
  Speaker 10: ever ascend? It, deeper down into pane than I ever ascended,
• 5:08:29
  Speaker 10: even into its darkest flood. So willeth my fate. Well,
• 5:08:35
  Speaker 10: I am ready. Whence came the highest mountains, so did
• 5:08:41
  Speaker 10: I once ask? Then did I learn that they came
• 5:08:45
  Speaker 10: out of the sea. That testimony is inscribed on their
• 5:08:50
  Speaker 10: stones and on the walls of their summits. Out of
• 5:08:54
  Speaker 10: the deepest. Must the highest come to its height? Thus
• 5:09:00
  Speaker 10: spake Zarathustra on the ridge of the mountain, where it
• 5:09:02
  Speaker 10: was cold. When, however, he came into the vicinity of
• 5:09:06
  Speaker 10: the sea and at last stood alone amongst the cliffs.
• 5:09:11
  Speaker 10: Then he had become weary on his way, and eagerer
• 5:09:15
  Speaker 10: than ever before everything as yet sleepeth, said he. Even
• 5:09:22
  Speaker 10: the sea sleepeth drowsily, and strangely doth its eye gaze
• 5:09:27
  Speaker 10: upon me, But it breatheth warmly. I feel it, and
• 5:09:33
  Speaker 10: I feel also that it dreameth. It tosseth about dreamily
• 5:09:38
  Speaker 10: on hard pillows, hark, hark, how it groaneth with evil
• 5:09:45
  Speaker 10: recollections or evil expectations. Ah, I am sad along with thee,
• 5:09:53
  Speaker 10: thou dusky monster, and angry with myself, even for thy sake,
• 5:09:59
  Speaker 10: are that my and hast not strength enough? Gladly indeed
• 5:10:03
  Speaker 10: would I free thee from evil dreams? And while Zarathustra
• 5:10:08
  Speaker 10: thus spake, he laughed at himself with melancholy and bitterness.
• 5:10:15
  Speaker 10: What Zarathustra said, he wilt thou even sing consolation to
• 5:10:20
  Speaker 10: the sea. Ah thou amiable fool. Zarathustra, thou too blindly
• 5:10:27
  Speaker 10: confiding one. But thus hast thou ever been, ever, hast
• 5:10:33
  Speaker 10: thou approached confidently all that is terrible? Every monster? Wouldst
• 5:10:39
  Speaker 10: thou caress a whiff of warm breath, a little soft
• 5:10:44
  Speaker 10: tuft on its poor and immediately wert thou ready to
• 5:10:48
  Speaker 10: love and lure it. Love is the danger of the
• 5:10:53
  Speaker 10: lonesomest one. Love to anything, if it only live loveable
• 5:11:00
  Speaker 10: verily is my folly and my modesty in love. Thus
• 5:11:06
  Speaker 10: spake Zarathustra and laughed thereby a second time. Then, however,
• 5:11:12
  Speaker 10: he thought of his abandoned friends, and as if he
• 5:11:16
  Speaker 10: had done them wrong with his thoughts, he upbraided himself
• 5:11:20
  Speaker 10: because of his thoughts, and forthwith it came to pass
• 5:11:25
  Speaker 10: that the laughter wept with anger and longing wept Zarathustra bitterly.
• 5:11:34
  Speaker 10: End of chapter forty five Chapter forty six, The Vision
• 5:11:44
  Speaker 10: and the Enigma one. When it got abroad, among the
• 5:11:50
  Speaker 10: sailors that Zarathustra was on board the ship, for a
• 5:11:55
  Speaker 10: man who came from the Happy Isles had gone on
• 5:11:57
  Speaker 10: board along with him, there was great curiosity and expectation.
• 5:12:04
  Speaker 10: But Zarathustra kept silent for two days and was cold
• 5:12:08
  Speaker 10: and deaf with sadness, so that he neither answered looks
• 5:12:13
  Speaker 10: nor questions. On the evening of the second day, however,
• 5:12:19
  Speaker 10: he again opened his ears, though he still kept silent,
• 5:12:24
  Speaker 10: for there were many curious and dangerous things to be
• 5:12:26
  Speaker 10: heard on board the ship, which came from Afar and
• 5:12:31
  Speaker 10: was to go still further. Zarathustra, however, was fond of
• 5:12:36
  Speaker 10: all those who make distant voyages and disliked to live
• 5:12:39
  Speaker 10: without danger. And behold, when listening his own tongue was
• 5:12:44
  Speaker 10: at last loostened, and the eyes of his heart broke.
• 5:12:48
  Speaker 10: Then did he begin to speak Thus to you, the daring,
• 5:12:53
  Speaker 10: venturous and adventurous, and whoever has embarked with cunning sails
• 5:12:58
  Speaker 10: upon frightful sea, to you, the enigma intoxicated, the twilight enjoyers,
• 5:13:06
  Speaker 10: whose souls are allured by flutes, to every treacherous gulf.
• 5:13:12
  Speaker 10: For ye dislike to grope at a thread with cowardly hand,
• 5:13:16
  Speaker 10: and where ye can divine there do ye hate to calculate?
• 5:13:22
  Speaker 10: To you, only do I tell the enigma that I
• 5:13:25
  Speaker 10: saw the vision of the lonesomest one, gloomily walked ire
• 5:13:31
  Speaker 10: lately in corpse colored twilight, gloomily and sternly with compressed lips.
• 5:13:38
  Speaker 10: Not only one's sun had set for me a path
• 5:13:43
  Speaker 10: which ascended daringly among boulders, an evil, lonesome path which
• 5:13:48
  Speaker 10: neither herb nor shrub any longer cheered, A mountain path
• 5:13:53
  Speaker 10: crunched under the daring of my foot, mutely marching over
• 5:13:58
  Speaker 10: the scornful clinking of pepper trampling the stone that let
• 5:14:02
  Speaker 10: it slip. Thus did my foot force its way upwards, upwards,
• 5:14:08
  Speaker 10: in spite of the spirit that drew it downwards towards
• 5:14:12
  Speaker 10: the abyss, the spirit of gravity, my devil and arch enemy, upwards,
• 5:14:19
  Speaker 10: although it sat upon me half dwarf, half mole, paralyzed, paralyzing,
• 5:14:24
  Speaker 10: dripping lead in mine ear, and thoughts like drops of
• 5:14:28
  Speaker 10: lead into my brain. O Zarathustra, it whispered, scornfully syllable
• 5:14:34
  Speaker 10: by syllable, Thou stone of wisdom, Thou throwest thyself high,
• 5:14:41
  Speaker 10: but every throne stone must fall, O Zarathustra, Thou stone
• 5:14:48
  Speaker 10: of wisdom, thou slingstone, Thou stardest trial thyself. Throwest thou
• 5:14:55
  Speaker 10: so high, but every throne stone must fall, condemned of
• 5:15:02
  Speaker 10: thyself and to thine own stoning. O Zarathustra. Far indeed,
• 5:15:08
  Speaker 10: throwest thou thy stone, but upon thyself will it recoil?
• 5:15:16
  Speaker 10: Then was the dwarf silent, and it lasted long. The silence, however,
• 5:15:22
  Speaker 10: oppressed me. And to be thus in pairs one is
• 5:15:26
  Speaker 10: verily lonesomer than when alone I ascended, I ascended, I dreamt,
• 5:15:33
  Speaker 10: I thought, but everything oppressed me. A sick one did
• 5:15:38
  Speaker 10: I resemble whom bad torture wearieth, and a worse dream
• 5:15:43
  Speaker 10: reawakeneth out of his first sleep. But there is something
• 5:15:49
  Speaker 10: in me which I call courage. It hath hitherto slain
• 5:15:53
  Speaker 10: for me every dejection. This courage at last bade me
• 5:15:58
  Speaker 10: stand still and say, dwarf thou or I. For courage
• 5:16:04
  Speaker 10: is the best slayer courage which attacketh. For in every
• 5:16:09
  Speaker 10: attack there is sound of triumph. Man, however, is the
• 5:16:15
  Speaker 10: most courageous animal. Thereby has he overcome every animal with
• 5:16:21
  Speaker 10: sound of triumph? Has he overcome every pain? Human pain, however,
• 5:16:26
  Speaker 10: is the sorest pain. Courage slayeth also giddiness at abysses.
• 5:16:33
  Speaker 10: And where does man not stand at abysses? Is not
• 5:16:37
  Speaker 10: seeing itself seeing abysses. Courage is the best slayer. Courage
• 5:16:45
  Speaker 10: slayeth also fellow suffering. Fellow suffering, however, is the deepest
• 5:16:50
  Speaker 10: abyss As deeply as man looketh into life, so deeply
• 5:16:55
  Speaker 10: also does he look into suffering. Courage, how however, is
• 5:17:00
  Speaker 10: the best slayer courage which attacketh. It slayeth even death itself,
• 5:17:07
  Speaker 10: for it saith was that life well once more, in
• 5:17:14
  Speaker 10: such speech, however, there is much sound of triumph. He
• 5:17:19
  Speaker 10: who hath ears to hear, let him hear two halt,
• 5:17:27
  Speaker 10: Dwarf said, I, either I or thou. I, however, am
• 5:17:33
  Speaker 10: the stronger of the two. Thou knowest not mine abysmal
• 5:17:37
  Speaker 10: thought it couldst thou not endure. Then happened that which
• 5:17:44
  Speaker 10: made me lighter. For the dwarf sprang from my shoulder,
• 5:17:48
  Speaker 10: the prying sprite, and it squatted on a stone in
• 5:17:52
  Speaker 10: front of me. There was, however, a gateway just where
• 5:17:56
  Speaker 10: we halted. Look at this gate way, dwarf, I continued,
• 5:18:03
  Speaker 10: It has two faces, two roads come together here these
• 5:18:08
  Speaker 10: has no one yet gone to the end of this
• 5:18:13
  Speaker 10: long lane backwards it continues for an eternity, and that
• 5:18:18
  Speaker 10: long lane forward that is another eternity. They are antithetical
• 5:18:24
  Speaker 10: to one another. These roads. They directly abut on one another.
• 5:18:29
  Speaker 10: And it is here, at this gateway that they come together.
• 5:18:35
  Speaker 10: The name of the gateway is inscribed above this moment.
• 5:18:41
  Speaker 10: But should one follow them further and even further and
• 5:18:44
  Speaker 10: further on, thinkest thou, Dwarf, that these roads would be
• 5:18:48
  Speaker 10: eternally antithetical everything straight, Lith murmured the dwarf contemptuously. All
• 5:18:57
  Speaker 10: truth is crooked. Time itself a circle, Thou spirit of gravity,
• 5:19:04
  Speaker 10: said I wrathfully. Do not take it too lightly, or
• 5:19:09
  Speaker 10: I shall let thee squat where thou squattest, haltfoot, and
• 5:19:13
  Speaker 10: I carry thee high observe continued I this moment from
• 5:19:21
  Speaker 10: the gateway, this moment there runneth a long eternal lane
• 5:19:26
  Speaker 10: backwards behind us lieth an eternity. Must not whatever can
• 5:19:33
  Speaker 10: run its course of all things have already run along
• 5:19:37
  Speaker 10: that lane. Must not whatever can happen of all things
• 5:19:41
  Speaker 10: have already happened, resulted and gone by. And if everything
• 5:19:47
  Speaker 10: have already existed, what thinkest thou dwarf of this moment?
• 5:19:54
  Speaker 10: Must not this gateway also have already existed? And are
• 5:19:59
  Speaker 10: not all things closely bound together in such wise that
• 5:20:04
  Speaker 10: this moment draw us all coming things after it? Consequently
• 5:20:11
  Speaker 10: itself also, for whatever can run its course of all
• 5:20:16
  Speaker 10: things also in this long lane outward, must it once
• 5:20:21
  Speaker 10: more run? And this slow spider which creepeth in the moonlight,
• 5:20:28
  Speaker 10: and this moonlight itself, and thou and I in this gateway,
• 5:20:31
  Speaker 10: whispering together whispering of eternal things, must we not all
• 5:20:35
  Speaker 10: have already existed? And must we not return and run
• 5:20:41
  Speaker 10: in that other lane out before us that long, weird lane.
• 5:20:46
  Speaker 10: Must we not eternally return? Thus did I speak, and
• 5:20:52
  Speaker 10: always more softly, for I was afraid of mine own
• 5:20:55
  Speaker 10: thoughts and ar rear sorts. Then suddenly did a hero
• 5:21:00
  Speaker 10: a dog howl near me? Had I ever heard a
• 5:21:05
  Speaker 10: dog howl? Thus my thoughts ran back, yes, when I
• 5:21:11
  Speaker 10: was a child, in my most distant childhood. Then did
• 5:21:17
  Speaker 10: a hero dog howl? Thus, and saw it also with
• 5:21:21
  Speaker 10: hair bristling its head upwards, trembling in the stillest midnight,
• 5:21:27
  Speaker 10: when even dogs believe in ghosts, so that it excited
• 5:21:32
  Speaker 10: my commiseration. For just then went the full moon, silent
• 5:21:37
  Speaker 10: as death over the house. Just then did it stand still,
• 5:21:41
  Speaker 10: a glowing globe at rest from the flat roof, as
• 5:21:46
  Speaker 10: if on someone's property. There had the dog been terrified?
• 5:21:52
  Speaker 10: For dogs believe in thieves and ghosts? And when I
• 5:21:56
  Speaker 10: again heard such howling, then did it excite my commiseration
• 5:22:01
  Speaker 10: once more? Where was now the dwarf and the gateway,
• 5:22:07
  Speaker 10: and the spider and all the whispering? Had I dreamt?
• 5:22:12
  Speaker 10: Had I awakened TwixT rugged rocks? Did I suddenly stand alone,
• 5:22:18
  Speaker 10: dreary in the dreariest moonlight? But there lay a man,
• 5:22:24
  Speaker 10: And there the dog leaping, bristling, whining. Now did it
• 5:22:29
  Speaker 10: see me coming? Then did it howl again? Then did
• 5:22:33
  Speaker 10: it cry? Had I ever heard a dog cry so
• 5:22:36
  Speaker 10: for help? And verily what I saw the like? Had
• 5:22:43
  Speaker 10: I never seen a young shepherd? Did I see rising, choking,
• 5:22:48
  Speaker 10: quivering with distorted countenance, and with a heavy black serpent
• 5:22:53
  Speaker 10: hanging out of his mouth? Had I ever seen so
• 5:22:58
  Speaker 10: much loathing and pale horror on one countenance? He had
• 5:23:03
  Speaker 10: perhaps gone to sleep? Then had the serpent crawled into
• 5:23:07
  Speaker 10: his throat? There? Had it bitten itself fast? My hand
• 5:23:14
  Speaker 10: pulled at the serpent and pulled in vain. I failed
• 5:23:18
  Speaker 10: to pull the serpent out of his throat. Then there
• 5:23:22
  Speaker 10: cried out of me, bite, bite it's head off. Bite,
• 5:23:30
  Speaker 10: So cried it out of me. My horror, my hatred,
• 5:23:34
  Speaker 10: my loathing, my pity, all my good and my bad,
• 5:23:37
  Speaker 10: cried with one voice out of me. He daring ones
• 5:23:42
  Speaker 10: around me, he venturous and adventurous. And whoever of you
• 5:23:47
  Speaker 10: have embarked with cunning sails on unexplored seas, he enigma
• 5:23:53
  Speaker 10: enjoyers solve unto me the enigma that I then beheld,
• 5:23:59
  Speaker 10: interpret unto me the vision of the lonesomest one, For
• 5:24:05
  Speaker 10: it was a vision and a foresight. What did I
• 5:24:09
  Speaker 10: then behold in parable? And who is it that must
• 5:24:13
  Speaker 10: come some day? Who is the shepherd into whose throat
• 5:24:18
  Speaker 10: the serpent thus crawled? Who is the man into whose throat?
• 5:24:22
  Speaker 10: Or the heaviest and blackest will thus crawl the shepherd? However,
• 5:24:29
  Speaker 10: bit as my cry had admonished him, he bit with
• 5:24:32
  Speaker 10: a strong bite. Far away did he spit the head
• 5:24:36
  Speaker 10: of the serpent, and sprang up. No longer shepherd, no
• 5:24:41
  Speaker 10: longer man, a transfigured being, a light surrounded being that laughed.
• 5:24:47
  Speaker 10: Never on earth laughed man as he laughed, O, my brethren,
• 5:24:53
  Speaker 10: I heard a laughter which was no human laughter, And
• 5:24:57
  Speaker 10: now gnawsed a thirst at me, a longing that is
• 5:25:00
  Speaker 10: never allayed. My longing for that laughter? Know was that me? Oh,
• 5:25:07
  Speaker 10: how can I still endure to live? And how could
• 5:25:10
  Speaker 10: I endure to die? At present? Thus spake Zarathustra, end
• 5:25:19
  Speaker 10: of Chapter forty.
• 5:25:20
  Speaker 5: Six, third part, Chapter forty seven, involuntary bliss, With such
• 5:25:32
  Speaker 5: enigmas and bitterness in his heart, did Zarathustra sail over
• 5:25:36
  Speaker 5: the sea, When, however, he was four day journeys from
• 5:25:40
  Speaker 5: the Happy Isles, and from his friends. Then had he
• 5:25:43
  Speaker 5: surmounted all his pain triumphantly and with firm foot, did
• 5:25:48
  Speaker 5: he again accept his fate? And then talked to Zarathustra
• 5:25:51
  Speaker 5: in this wise to his exulting conscience. Alone am I
• 5:25:57
  Speaker 5: again and like to be so alone with the pure
• 5:26:00
  Speaker 5: heaven and the open sea? And again is the afternoon
• 5:26:04
  Speaker 5: around me? On an afternoon? Did I find my friends
• 5:26:09
  Speaker 5: for the first time on an afternoon? Also did I
• 5:26:13
  Speaker 5: find them a second time? At the hour when all
• 5:26:16
  Speaker 5: light becometh stiller? For whatever happiness is still on its
• 5:26:20
  Speaker 5: way TwixT heaven and earth, now seeketh for lodging A
• 5:26:24
  Speaker 5: luminous soul with happiness hath all light now become stiller?
• 5:26:29
  Speaker 5: Oh afternoon of my life? Once did my happiness also
• 5:26:34
  Speaker 5: descend to the valley, that it might seek a lodging?
• 5:26:38
  Speaker 5: Then did it find those open, hospitable souls, Oh afternoon
• 5:26:43
  Speaker 5: of my life? What did I not surrender that I
• 5:26:47
  Speaker 5: might have one thing, this living plantation of my thoughts,
• 5:26:52
  Speaker 5: and this dawn of my highest hope? Companions? Did the
• 5:26:56
  Speaker 5: creating one once seek and children of his hope? And
• 5:27:00
  Speaker 5: Lo it turned out that he could not find them,
• 5:27:03
  Speaker 5: except he himself should first create them. Thus am I,
• 5:27:09
  Speaker 5: in the midst of my work to my children, going
• 5:27:12
  Speaker 5: and from them returning for the sake of his children,
• 5:27:16
  Speaker 5: must Zarathustra perfect himself. For in one's heart one loveth
• 5:27:22
  Speaker 5: only one's child and one's work. And where there is
• 5:27:26
  Speaker 5: great love to one's self, then is it the sign
• 5:27:29
  Speaker 5: of pregnancy. So have I found it. Still are my
• 5:27:34
  Speaker 5: children verdant in their first spring, standing nigh one another,
• 5:27:38
  Speaker 5: and shaken in common by the winds the trees of
• 5:27:42
  Speaker 5: my garden and of my best soil. And verily, where
• 5:27:47
  Speaker 5: such trees stand beside one another there are happy isle.
• 5:27:51
  Speaker 5: But one day I will take them up and put
• 5:27:54
  Speaker 5: each by itself alone, that it may learn lonesomeness and
• 5:27:58
  Speaker 5: defiance and prudence. Gnarled and crooked and with flexible hardness,
• 5:28:03
  Speaker 5: Shall it then stand by the sea a living lighthouse
• 5:28:07
  Speaker 5: of unconquerable life yonder, with the storms rush down into
• 5:28:11
  Speaker 5: the sea, and the snout of the mountain drinketh water.
• 5:28:15
  Speaker 5: Shall each on a time have his day and night
• 5:28:18
  Speaker 5: watches for his testing and recognition. Recognized and tested, shall
• 5:28:24
  Speaker 5: each be to see if he be of my type
• 5:28:27
  Speaker 5: and lineage, if he be master of a long will, silent,
• 5:28:32
  Speaker 5: even when he speaketh and giving in such wise that
• 5:28:35
  Speaker 5: he taketh in giving, so that he may one day
• 5:28:39
  Speaker 5: become my companion, my fellow creator, and fellow enjoyer. With Zarathustra,
• 5:28:45
  Speaker 5: such a one as righteth my will on my tables,
• 5:28:49
  Speaker 5: for the fuller perfection of all things, and for his
• 5:28:52
  Speaker 5: sake and for those like him, I must perfect myself.
• 5:28:56
  Speaker 5: Therefore do I now avoid my happiness, and present myself
• 5:29:00
  Speaker 5: to every misfortune for my final testing and recognition. And
• 5:29:05
  Speaker 5: verily it were time that I went away, And the
• 5:29:09
  Speaker 5: wanderer's shadow, and the longest tedium and the stillest hour
• 5:29:13
  Speaker 5: have all said unto me, it is the highest time.
• 5:29:18
  Speaker 5: The word blew to me through the keyhole and said come.
• 5:29:22
  Speaker 5: The door sprang subtly open to me, and said go.
• 5:29:26
  Speaker 5: But I lay in chain to my love for my children.
• 5:29:29
  Speaker 5: Desire spread this snare for me, the desire for love,
• 5:29:34
  Speaker 5: that I should become the prey of my children and
• 5:29:37
  Speaker 5: lose myself in them, desiring that is now for me
• 5:29:41
  Speaker 5: to have lost myself. I possess you, my children. In
• 5:29:46
  Speaker 5: this possessing shall everything be assurance, and nothing desire but brooding.
• 5:29:51
  Speaker 5: Lay the son of my love upon me in his
• 5:29:54
  Speaker 5: own juice to Zarathustra. Then did shadows and doubts fly
• 5:29:58
  Speaker 5: past me for frost and winter. I now longed, oh
• 5:30:03
  Speaker 5: that frost and winter would again make me crack and
• 5:30:06
  Speaker 5: crunch sighed. I then arose icy mist out of me,
• 5:30:11
  Speaker 5: My past burst its tomb, my pains buried alive, woke
• 5:30:15
  Speaker 5: up fully slept, had they merely concealed in corpse clothes,
• 5:30:21
  Speaker 5: so called everything unto me in signs it is time.
• 5:30:26
  Speaker 5: But I heard not until at last mine abyss moved,
• 5:30:30
  Speaker 5: and my thought bit me, Ah abysmal thought, which art
• 5:30:35
  Speaker 5: my thought? When shall I find strength to hear thee burrowing?
• 5:30:40
  Speaker 5: And no longer tremble to my very throat throbbeth my heart?
• 5:30:44
  Speaker 5: When I hear thee burrowing? Thy muteness even is like
• 5:30:49
  Speaker 5: to strangle me, thou abysmal mute one. As yet have
• 5:30:53
  Speaker 5: I never ventured to call thee up?
• 5:30:56
  Speaker 8: It?
• 5:30:56
  Speaker 5: Hath been enough that I have carried thee about with me?
• 5:31:00
  Speaker 5: As yet have I not been strong enough for my
• 5:31:03
  Speaker 5: final lie in wantonness and playfulness sufficiently formidable under me?
• 5:31:09
  Speaker 5: Hath my weight ever been? But one day shall I
• 5:31:13
  Speaker 5: find the strength and the lion's voice which will call
• 5:31:16
  Speaker 5: THEE up when I shall have surmounted myself therein. Then
• 5:31:21
  Speaker 5: will I surmount myself also in that which is greater,
• 5:31:25
  Speaker 5: and a victory shall be the seal of my perfection. Meanwhile,
• 5:31:31
  Speaker 5: do I sail along on uncertain seas? Chance flattereth me,
• 5:31:36
  Speaker 5: smooth tongued chance? Forward and backward? Do I gaze still?
• 5:31:41
  Speaker 5: I see no end? As yet hath the hour of
• 5:31:44
  Speaker 5: my final struggle not come to me? Or doth it
• 5:31:48
  Speaker 5: come to me? Perhaps just now? Verily? With insidious beauty?
• 5:31:53
  Speaker 5: Do sea and life gaze upon me round about, Oh
• 5:31:56
  Speaker 5: afternoon of my life, Oh happiness before even tide, Oh
• 5:32:01
  Speaker 5: even upon high seas, O peace in uncertainty? Thou I
• 5:32:06
  Speaker 5: distrust all of you verily, Distrustful am I of your
• 5:32:10
  Speaker 5: insidious beauty? Like the lover am I who distrusteth too sleek,
• 5:32:15
  Speaker 5: smiling as he pusheth the best loved before him, tender
• 5:32:20
  Speaker 5: even in severity the jealous one. So do I push
• 5:32:24
  Speaker 5: this blissful hour before me away with THEE? Thou blissful
• 5:32:28
  Speaker 5: hour with THEE? Hath there come to me an involuntary
• 5:32:32
  Speaker 5: bliss ready for my severest pain? Do I here stand
• 5:32:38
  Speaker 5: at the wrong time? Hast thou come away with thee
• 5:32:42
  Speaker 5: thou blissful hour, Rather harbor there with my children, hasten
• 5:32:48
  Speaker 5: and bless them before eventide, with my happiness there already
• 5:32:53
  Speaker 5: approacheth Eventide the sun sinketh away. My happiness thus spakes
• 5:32:59
  Speaker 5: there Eustra. And he waited for his misfortune the whole night.
• 5:33:04
  Speaker 5: But he waited in vain. The night remained clear and calm,
• 5:33:08
  Speaker 5: and happiness itself came nigher and nigher unto him. Towards morning, however,
• 5:33:15
  Speaker 5: Zarathustra laughed to his heart and said, mockingly, happiness runneth
• 5:33:21
  Speaker 5: after me. That is because they do not run after women. Happiness, however,
• 5:33:27
  Speaker 5: is a woman. End of Chapter forty seven.
• 5:33:37
  Speaker 10: Part forty eight. Before sunrise, O heaven above me, thou
• 5:33:43
  Speaker 10: pure thou, deep heaven, thou abyss of light. Gazing on thee,
• 5:33:49
  Speaker 10: I tremble with divine desires up to thy height, to
• 5:33:53
  Speaker 10: toss myself, that is my depths in thy purity, to
• 5:33:57
  Speaker 10: hide myself, that is mine innocence. The God veileth his beauty.
• 5:34:04
  Speaker 10: Thus hidest thou thy stars. Thou speakest not thus proclaimest
• 5:34:10
  Speaker 10: thou thy wisdom unto me mute o'er the raging sea.
• 5:34:15
  Speaker 10: Hast thou risen for me to day? Thy love and
• 5:34:18
  Speaker 10: thy modesty make a revelation unto my raging soul, in
• 5:34:23
  Speaker 10: that thou camest unto me, beautiful veiled in thy beauty,
• 5:34:28
  Speaker 10: in that thou spakest unto me mutely obvious in thy wisdom. Oh,
• 5:34:34
  Speaker 10: how could I fail to divine all the modesty of
• 5:34:36
  Speaker 10: thy soul? Before the sun didst thou come unto me
• 5:34:41
  Speaker 10: the lonesomest one. We have been friends from the beginning.
• 5:34:46
  Speaker 10: To us, our grief, gruesomeness, and ground common even the
• 5:34:50
  Speaker 10: sun is common to us. We do not speak to
• 5:34:54
  Speaker 10: each other because we know too much. We keep silent
• 5:34:57
  Speaker 10: to each other. We smile all not to each other.
• 5:35:02
  Speaker 10: Art thou not the light of my fire? Hast thou
• 5:35:05
  Speaker 10: not the sister soul of mine?
• 5:35:06
  Speaker 9: In sight?
• 5:35:08
  Speaker 10: Together? Did we learn everything together, to be learned to
• 5:35:11
  Speaker 10: ascend beyond ourselves to ourselves, and to smile uncloudedly, uncloudedly,
• 5:35:18
  Speaker 10: to smile down out of luminous eyes and out of
• 5:35:21
  Speaker 10: miles of distance. When under us constraint and purpose and guilt,
• 5:35:26
  Speaker 10: steam like rain, and wandered I alone, for what did
• 5:35:31
  Speaker 10: my soul hunger by night, and in labyrinthine paths, and
• 5:35:36
  Speaker 10: climbed thy mountains. Whom did I ever seek if not THEE?
• 5:35:39
  Speaker 10: Upon mountains, and all my wandering and mountain climbing a necessity,
• 5:35:46
  Speaker 10: was it merely and a makeshift of the unhandy one?
• 5:35:50
  Speaker 5: To fly?
• 5:35:50
  Speaker 10: Only wanteth mine entire will to fly into THEE. And
• 5:35:56
  Speaker 10: what have I hated more than passing clouds? And whatever
• 5:35:59
  Speaker 10: taint is THEE and mine own hatred? Have I even
• 5:36:03
  Speaker 10: hated because it tainted THEE? The passing clouds. I detest
• 5:36:10
  Speaker 10: those stealthy cats of prey. They take from THEE and
• 5:36:14
  Speaker 10: me what is common to us, the vast, unbounded. Yea
• 5:36:17
  Speaker 10: and amen, saying, these mediators and mixers, we detest the
• 5:36:23
  Speaker 10: passing clouds, those half and half ones that have neither
• 5:36:27
  Speaker 10: learned to bless nor to curse from the heart. Rather
• 5:36:32
  Speaker 10: will I sit in a tub under a closed heaven?
• 5:36:35
  Speaker 10: Rather will I sit in the abyss without heaven? Than
• 5:36:38
  Speaker 10: see THEE? Thou luminous heaven taint it with passing clouds?
• 5:36:44
  Speaker 10: And oft have I longed to pin them fast with
• 5:36:47
  Speaker 10: the jagged gold wires of lightning, that I might like
• 5:36:50
  Speaker 10: the thunder beat the drum upon their kettle bellies, an
• 5:36:57
  Speaker 10: angry drummer, because they rob me of thy yea, And amen,
• 5:37:01
  Speaker 10: thou heaven above me, thou pure, Thou luminous Heaven, Thou
• 5:37:05
  Speaker 10: abyss of light, because they rob thee of my yea,
• 5:37:09
  Speaker 10: and Amen. For rather will I have noise and thunders
• 5:37:14
  Speaker 10: and tempest blasts than this discreet, doubting, cut repose. And
• 5:37:20
  Speaker 10: also amongst men do I hate most of the soft
• 5:37:23
  Speaker 10: treaders and half and half ones, and the doubting, hesitating
• 5:37:26
  Speaker 10: passing clouds. And he who cannot bless shall learn to
• 5:37:32
  Speaker 10: curse this clear teaching dropped unto me from the clear heaven.
• 5:37:37
  Speaker 10: This star standeth in my heaven even in dark nights. I, however,
• 5:37:44
  Speaker 10: am a blesser and a yaysayer. If thou be but
• 5:37:47
  Speaker 10: around me, thou pure, thou luminous Heaven, thou abyss of light,
• 5:37:53
  Speaker 10: into all abysses? Do I then carry my beneficent yea,
• 5:37:56
  Speaker 10: saying a blesser have I become and a yeasayer? And
• 5:38:01
  Speaker 10: therefore strove along and was a striver that I might
• 5:38:05
  Speaker 10: one day get my hands free for blessing. This, however,
• 5:38:10
  Speaker 10: is my blessing, to stand above everything as its own heaven,
• 5:38:14
  Speaker 10: its round roof, its asure, belle and eternal security. And
• 5:38:19
  Speaker 10: blessed is he who thus blesseth, for all things are
• 5:38:23
  Speaker 10: baptized at the front of eternity, and beyond good and evil.
• 5:38:28
  Speaker 10: Good and evil themselves, however, are but fudative shadows and
• 5:38:32
  Speaker 10: damp afflictions and passing clouds. Verily, it is a blessing
• 5:38:37
  Speaker 10: and not a blasphemy when I teach that above all
• 5:38:41
  Speaker 10: things there standeth the heaven of chance, the heaven of innocence,
• 5:38:45
  Speaker 10: the heaven of hazard, the heaven of wantonness of hazard.
• 5:38:51
  Speaker 10: That is the oldest nobility in the world, that gave
• 5:38:54
  Speaker 10: us back to all things. I emancipated them from bondage
• 5:38:59
  Speaker 10: under purpose this freedom and celestial serenity. Did I put
• 5:39:05
  Speaker 10: like an azure bell above all things when are taught
• 5:39:08
  Speaker 10: that over them and through them no eternal will willeth
• 5:39:15
  Speaker 10: This wantonness and folly? Did I put in place of
• 5:39:18
  Speaker 10: that will? When I taught that in everything there is
• 5:39:21
  Speaker 10: one thing impossible, rationality, a little reason to be sure,
• 5:39:28
  Speaker 10: a germ of wisdom scattered from star to star. This
• 5:39:31
  Speaker 10: heaven is mixed in all things for the sake of folly.
• 5:39:34
  Speaker 10: Wisdom is mixed in all things. A little wisdom is
• 5:39:39
  Speaker 10: indeed possible. But this blessed security have I found in
• 5:39:43
  Speaker 10: all things? That they prefer to dance on the feet
• 5:39:46
  Speaker 10: of trance? O Heaven above me, thou pure, thou lofty heaven.
• 5:39:53
  Speaker 10: This is now thy purity, unto me that there is
• 5:39:56
  Speaker 10: no eternal reason, spider and reason cobweb. That thou art
• 5:40:01
  Speaker 10: to me dancing floor for divine chances. That thou art
• 5:40:05
  Speaker 10: to me a table of the gods for divine dice
• 5:40:08
  Speaker 10: and dice players. But thou blushest have I spoken unspeakable things?
• 5:40:14
  Speaker 10: Have I abused when I meant to bless thee? Or
• 5:40:18
  Speaker 10: is it the shame of being two of us that
• 5:40:20
  Speaker 10: maketh thee blush? Dost thou bid me go and be silent,
• 5:40:24
  Speaker 10: Because now day cometh. The world is deep and deeper
• 5:40:30
  Speaker 10: than e'er the day could read. Not everything may be
• 5:40:34
  Speaker 10: uttered in presence of day, but day cometh. So let
• 5:40:39
  Speaker 10: us part, O Heaven above me, thou modest one, thou
• 5:40:44
  Speaker 10: glowing one, O thou my happiness before sunrise the day cometh.
• 5:40:50
  Speaker 10: So let us part. Thus spake Zarathustra. End of Part
• 5:40:57
  Speaker 10: forty eight, Part forty nine, The Bedwarfing Virtue One. When
• 5:41:06
  Speaker 10: Zarathustra was again on the continent, he did not go
• 5:41:09
  Speaker 10: straightway to his mountains and his cave, but made many
• 5:41:13
  Speaker 10: wonderings and questionings, and ascertained this and that, so that
• 5:41:18
  Speaker 10: he said of himself jestingly, low a river that floweth
• 5:41:23
  Speaker 10: back unto its source in many windings. For he wanted
• 5:41:28
  Speaker 10: to learn what had taken place among men during the interval,
• 5:41:32
  Speaker 10: whether they had become greater or smaller. And once, when
• 5:41:37
  Speaker 10: he saw a row of new houses, he marveled and said,
• 5:41:41
  Speaker 10: what do these houses mean? Verily, no great soul put
• 5:41:45
  Speaker 10: them up, as it simile? Did Perhaps a silly child
• 5:41:50
  Speaker 10: take them out of its toy box. Would that another
• 5:41:53
  Speaker 10: child put them again into the box. And these rooms
• 5:41:58
  Speaker 10: and chambers can men go out? And in there? They
• 5:42:02
  Speaker 10: seem to be made for silk dolls, or for dainty eaters,
• 5:42:06
  Speaker 10: who perhaps let others eat with them. And Zarathustra stood
• 5:42:11
  Speaker 10: still and meditated. At last, he said, sorrowfully, there hath
• 5:42:16
  Speaker 10: everything become smaller? Everywhere? Do I see lower doorways? He
• 5:42:22
  Speaker 10: who is of my type can still go there through,
• 5:42:25
  Speaker 10: but he must stoop. Oh, when shall I arrive again
• 5:42:29
  Speaker 10: at my home, where I shall no longer have to stoop,
• 5:42:33
  Speaker 10: shall no longer have to stoop before the small ones.
• 5:42:37
  Speaker 10: And Zarathustra sighed and gazed into the distance. The same day, however,
• 5:42:43
  Speaker 10: he gave his discourse on the bedwarfing virtue. Two. I
• 5:42:50
  Speaker 10: passed through this people and keep mine eyes open. They
• 5:42:54
  Speaker 10: do not forgive me for not envying their virtues. They
• 5:42:58
  Speaker 10: bite at me because I say unto them that for
• 5:43:00
  Speaker 10: small people, small virtues are necessary, and because it is
• 5:43:04
  Speaker 10: hard for me to understand that small people are necessary.
• 5:43:10
  Speaker 10: Here I am still a cock in a strange farm
• 5:43:12
  Speaker 10: yard at which even the hens peck. But on that
• 5:43:16
  Speaker 10: account I am not unfriendly to the hens. I am
• 5:43:19
  Speaker 10: courteous towards them, as towards all small annoyances. To be
• 5:43:24
  Speaker 10: prickly towards what is small seemeth to me wisdom for hedgehogs.
• 5:43:29
  Speaker 10: They all speak of me when they sit around their
• 5:43:31
  Speaker 10: fire in the evening. They speak of me, but no
• 5:43:34
  Speaker 10: one thinks of me. This is the new stillness which
• 5:43:39
  Speaker 10: I have experienced. Their noise around me spread is a
• 5:43:42
  Speaker 10: mantle over my thoughts. They shout to one another, what
• 5:43:48
  Speaker 10: is this gloomy cloud? About to do to us. Let
• 5:43:51
  Speaker 10: us see that it does not bring a plague upon us.
• 5:43:55
  Speaker 10: And recently did a woman seize upon her child that
• 5:43:58
  Speaker 10: was coming unto me? Take the children away? Cried she.
• 5:44:02
  Speaker 10: Such eyes scorch children's souls. They cough when I speak.
• 5:44:08
  Speaker 10: They think coughing an objection to strong winds. They divine
• 5:44:13
  Speaker 10: nothing of the boisterousness of my happiness. We have not
• 5:44:17
  Speaker 10: yet time for Zarathustra, so they object. But what matter
• 5:44:21
  Speaker 10: about a time that hath no time for Zarathustra? And
• 5:44:26
  Speaker 10: if they should altogether praise me, how could I get
• 5:44:29
  Speaker 10: to sleep on their praise? A girdle of spines is
• 5:44:34
  Speaker 10: their praise unto me? It scratches me even when I
• 5:44:37
  Speaker 10: take it off. And this also did I learn among
• 5:44:41
  Speaker 10: them the praiser doeth as if he gave back in truth.
• 5:44:45
  Speaker 10: However he wanteth more to be given him. Ask my foot.
• 5:44:50
  Speaker 10: If their lording and luring strains please it verily to
• 5:44:54
  Speaker 10: such measure and tick tack, it liketh neither to dance
• 5:44:58
  Speaker 10: nor to stand still to small virtues. Would they fain
• 5:45:03
  Speaker 10: lure and lrd me to the tic tack of small happiness?
• 5:45:06
  Speaker 10: Would they faint persuade my foot, I pass through this people,
• 5:45:11
  Speaker 10: and keep mine eyes open. They have become smaller, and
• 5:45:14
  Speaker 10: ever become smaller. The reason thereof is their doctrine of
• 5:45:18
  Speaker 10: happiness and virtue. For they are moderate also in virtue,
• 5:45:23
  Speaker 10: because they want comfort with comfort. However, moderate virtue only
• 5:45:27
  Speaker 10: is compatible. To be sure. They also learn in their
• 5:45:32
  Speaker 10: way to stride on and stride forward, that I call
• 5:45:35
  Speaker 10: their hobbling. Thereby they become a hindrance to all who
• 5:45:39
  Speaker 10: are in haste, And many of them go forward and
• 5:45:42
  Speaker 10: look backwards thereby with stiffened necks. Those who are like
• 5:45:47
  Speaker 10: to run up against foot and eye shall not lie
• 5:45:51
  Speaker 10: nor give the lie to each other. But there is
• 5:45:54
  Speaker 10: much lying among small people. Some of them will, but
• 5:45:59
  Speaker 10: most of them are willed. Some of them are genuine,
• 5:46:02
  Speaker 10: but most of them are bad Actors. There are actors
• 5:46:07
  Speaker 10: without knowing it amongst them, and actors without intending it.
• 5:46:11
  Speaker 10: The genuine ones are always rare, especially the genuine actors.
• 5:46:17
  Speaker 6: Of man.
• 5:46:17
  Speaker 10: There is little here. Therefore, do their women masculinize themselves.
• 5:46:23
  Speaker 10: For only he who is man enough will save the
• 5:46:27
  Speaker 10: woman in woman. And this hypocrisy found I worst amongst them,
• 5:46:33
  Speaker 10: that even those who command feign the virtues of those
• 5:46:36
  Speaker 10: who serve. I serve thou servest, We serve so chantest
• 5:46:41
  Speaker 10: here even the hypocrisy of the rulers. And alas if
• 5:46:45
  Speaker 10: the first lord be only the first servant, ah, even
• 5:46:51
  Speaker 10: upon their hypocrisy, did mine eyes curiosity alight? And well
• 5:46:55
  Speaker 10: did I divine all their fly happiness and their buzzing
• 5:46:58
  Speaker 10: around sunny window panes? So much kindness, so much weakness?
• 5:47:03
  Speaker 10: Do I see? So much justice and pity, so much weakness.
• 5:47:09
  Speaker 10: Round fair and considerate are they to one another, as
• 5:47:12
  Speaker 10: grains of sand are round, fair and considerate to grains
• 5:47:16
  Speaker 10: of sand. Modestly to embrace small happiness that do they
• 5:47:22
  Speaker 10: call submission, And at the same time they peer modestly
• 5:47:27
  Speaker 10: after a new small happiness In their hearts. They want
• 5:47:31
  Speaker 10: simply one thing, most of all, that no one hurt them.
• 5:47:36
  Speaker 10: Thus do they anticipate every one's wishes and do well
• 5:47:39
  Speaker 10: unto every one, That, however, is cowardice, though it be
• 5:47:44
  Speaker 10: called virtue. And when they chance to speak harshly those
• 5:47:49
  Speaker 10: small people, then do I hear therein only their hoarseness,
• 5:47:53
  Speaker 10: every draft of air maketh them hoarse shrewd. Indeed are
• 5:47:58
  Speaker 10: they their virtues have shrewd fingers, but they lack fists.
• 5:48:04
  Speaker 10: Their fingers do not know how to creep behind fists. Virtue,
• 5:48:09
  Speaker 10: for them is what makes modest and tame Therewith have
• 5:48:14
  Speaker 10: they made the wolf a dog, and man himself man's
• 5:48:18
  Speaker 10: best domestic animal. We set our chair in the midst,
• 5:48:23
  Speaker 10: so sayth their smirking unto me, and as far from
• 5:48:27
  Speaker 10: dying gladiators as from satisfied swine. That, however, is mediocrity,
• 5:48:34
  Speaker 10: though it be called moderation. Three. I passed through this
• 5:48:40
  Speaker 10: people and let fall many words. But they know neither
• 5:48:44
  Speaker 10: how to take nor how to retain them. They wonder
• 5:48:48
  Speaker 10: why I came not to revile venery and vice, and
• 5:48:52
  Speaker 10: verily I came not to warn against pickpockets. Either. They
• 5:48:57
  Speaker 10: wonder why I am not ready to abet and wet
• 5:49:00
  Speaker 10: their wisdom, as if they had not yet enough of wiseacres,
• 5:49:06
  Speaker 10: whose voices great on mine ear like slate pencils. And
• 5:49:11
  Speaker 10: when I call out, curse all the cowardly devils in
• 5:49:15
  Speaker 10: you that would fain whimper and fold the hands under door,
• 5:49:20
  Speaker 10: then do they shout Zarathustra is godless. And especially do
• 5:49:25
  Speaker 10: their teachers of submission shout this. But precisely in their
• 5:49:28
  Speaker 10: ears do I love to cry? Yea, I am Zarathustra,
• 5:49:32
  Speaker 10: the godless, Those teachers of submission, whether there is aught puny,
• 5:49:39
  Speaker 10: or sickly or scabby there do they creep like lice.
• 5:49:43
  Speaker 10: And only my disgust preventeth me from cracking them. Well,
• 5:49:49
  Speaker 10: this is my sermon for their ears. I am Zarathustra,
• 5:49:52
  Speaker 10: the godless, who says, who is more godless than I?
• 5:49:57
  Speaker 10: That I may enjoy his teaching? I am Zarathustra, the godless.
• 5:50:02
  Speaker 10: Where do I find mine equal? And all those are
• 5:50:05
  Speaker 10: mine equals? Who give unto themselves their will and divest
• 5:50:09
  Speaker 10: themselves of all submission? I am Zarathustra, the Godless. I
• 5:50:15
  Speaker 10: cook every chance in my pot, and only when it
• 5:50:18
  Speaker 10: has been quite cooked do I welcome it as my food.
• 5:50:23
  Speaker 10: And verily many a chance came imperiously unto me. But
• 5:50:27
  Speaker 10: still more imperiously did my will speak unto it? Then
• 5:50:31
  Speaker 10: did it lie imploringly upon its knees, imploring that it
• 5:50:36
  Speaker 10: might find home and heart with me, and saying flatteringly,
• 5:50:41
  Speaker 10: see O Zarathustra, how friend only cometh unto friend? But
• 5:50:46
  Speaker 10: why talk I when no one hath mine ears? And
• 5:50:50
  Speaker 10: so will I shout it out unto all the winds.
• 5:50:55
  Speaker 10: Ye ever becomes smaller, Ye small people, He crumble away, ye,
• 5:50:59
  Speaker 10: comfortable ones. He will yet perish by you many small virtues,
• 5:51:05
  Speaker 10: by you many small emissions, and by you many small submissions.
• 5:51:11
  Speaker 10: Too tender, too yielding, So is your soil. But for
• 5:51:15
  Speaker 10: a tree to become great, it seeketh to twine hard
• 5:51:18
  Speaker 10: roots around hard rocks. Also what you omit weaveth at
• 5:51:24
  Speaker 10: the web of all the human future. Even your naught
• 5:51:28
  Speaker 10: is a cobweb and a spider that liveth on the
• 5:51:31
  Speaker 10: blood of the future. And when ye take, then it
• 5:51:36
  Speaker 10: is like stealing. He is small, virtuous ones. But even
• 5:51:40
  Speaker 10: among knaves honors says that one shall only steal when
• 5:51:44
  Speaker 10: one cannot rob it giveth itself. That is also a
• 5:51:49
  Speaker 10: doctrine of submission. But I say unto you, he, comfortable ones,
• 5:51:55
  Speaker 10: that it taketh to itself, and will ever take more
• 5:51:59
  Speaker 10: and more from you. Ah that ye would renounce all
• 5:52:04
  Speaker 10: half willing, and would decide for idleness as ye decide
• 5:52:07
  Speaker 10: for action. Ah that ye understood my word. Do ever
• 5:52:12
  Speaker 10: what ye will, but first be such as can will
• 5:52:18
  Speaker 10: love ever your neighbor as yourselves. But first be such
• 5:52:21
  Speaker 10: as love themselves, such as love with great love, such
• 5:52:26
  Speaker 10: as love with great contempt. Thus speaketh Sarah Sistra, the godless.
• 5:52:33
  Speaker 10: But why talk I where no one hath mine ears?
• 5:52:36
  Speaker 10: It is still an hour too early for me? Here
• 5:52:40
  Speaker 10: mine own forerunner. I am among this people, mine own
• 5:52:43
  Speaker 10: cockrow in dark lanes. But there our cometh, and there
• 5:52:49
  Speaker 10: cometh also mine. Hourly do they become smaller, poorer, unfruitfuller,
• 5:52:55
  Speaker 10: poor herbs, poor earth? And soon shall they stand before
• 5:53:01
  Speaker 10: me like dry grass and prairie, and verily weary of themselves,
• 5:53:06
  Speaker 10: and panting for fire more than for water, Oh, blessed
• 5:53:12
  Speaker 10: hour of the lightning, O mystery before noontide? Running fires?
• 5:53:17
  Speaker 10: Will I one day make of them and heralds with
• 5:53:19
  Speaker 10: flaming tongues? Harald? Shall they one day with flaming tongues?
• 5:53:26
  Speaker 10: It cometh, it is nigh the great Noontide. Thus spake
• 5:53:32
  Speaker 10: Sarah Sustra. End of Part forty nine.
• 5:53:42
  Speaker 7: Part three, Chapter fifty. On the islive mount winter, A
• 5:53:49
  Speaker 7: bad guest sitteth with me at home. Blue are my hands,
• 5:53:53
  Speaker 7: with his friendly hand shaking. I honor him, that bad guess,
• 5:53:57
  Speaker 7: but gladly leave him alone. Gladly do I run away
• 5:54:01
  Speaker 7: from him. And when one runeth well, then one escapeth
• 5:54:04
  Speaker 7: him with warm feet and warm thoughts. Do I run,
• 5:54:08
  Speaker 7: where the wind is calm, to the sunny corner of
• 5:54:11
  Speaker 7: mine olive mount. There do I laugh at my stern guest,
• 5:54:15
  Speaker 7: and am still fond of him, because he cleareth my
• 5:54:18
  Speaker 7: house of flies, and quieteth many noises, For he suffereth
• 5:54:23
  Speaker 7: if not a caat weaneth to buzz, or even two
• 5:54:26
  Speaker 7: of them. Also the lanes maketh he lonesome, so that
• 5:54:30
  Speaker 7: the midnight is afraid there is night. A hard guest
• 5:54:34
  Speaker 7: is he. But I honor him, and do not worship
• 5:54:37
  Speaker 7: like the tenderlings. The pot bellied fire idle better even
• 5:54:42
  Speaker 7: a little teeth chattering than idle ateration. So willeth my nature,
• 5:54:47
  Speaker 7: And especially have I a grudge against all ardents. Steaming
• 5:54:51
  Speaker 7: steamy fire idols him whom I love. I love better
• 5:54:56
  Speaker 7: in winter than in summer. Better do I now mock
• 5:54:59
  Speaker 7: and on enemies, and more heartily when winter sitteth in
• 5:55:03
  Speaker 7: my house, heartily, verily, even when I creep into bed,
• 5:55:10
  Speaker 7: there still laugheth and wantoneth in my hidden happiness, even
• 5:55:16
  Speaker 7: my deceptive dream laying laugheth I a creeper. Never in
• 5:55:22
  Speaker 7: my life did I creep before the powerful. And if
• 5:55:25
  Speaker 7: I ever lied, then I lie out of love. Therefore
• 5:55:29
  Speaker 7: I am glad even in my winter bed. A poor
• 5:55:34
  Speaker 7: bed maketh me more than a rich one, for I
• 5:55:36
  Speaker 7: am jealous of my poverty, and in winter she is
• 5:55:40
  Speaker 7: most faithful unto me. With a wickedness? Do I begin
• 5:55:44
  Speaker 7: every day I mock at the winter with a cold bath.
• 5:55:48
  Speaker 7: On that account, grumbleth my stern housemate. Also do I
• 5:55:53
  Speaker 7: like to tickle him with a wax taper that he
• 5:55:56
  Speaker 7: may finally let the heavens emerge from the ashy gray twilight?
• 5:56:01
  Speaker 7: For especially wicked am I in the morning, at an
• 5:56:04
  Speaker 7: early hour, when the pale rattleth, and the well and
• 5:56:08
  Speaker 7: horses neigh warmly in gray lanes impatiently? Do I then
• 5:56:13
  Speaker 7: wait that clear sky may finally dawn for me? The
• 5:56:17
  Speaker 7: snow bearded winter sky, the hoary one, the white head,
• 5:56:21
  Speaker 7: the winter sky, the silent winter sky, which often stifleth
• 5:56:26
  Speaker 7: even the sun. Do I perhaps learn from it, the
• 5:56:31
  Speaker 7: long clear silence? Or do it learn from me? Or
• 5:56:35
  Speaker 7: hath each of us devised it himself? Of all good things?
• 5:56:40
  Speaker 7: The origin is a thousandfold all good roguis things spring
• 5:56:46
  Speaker 7: unto existence for joy, how could they always do? For once?
• 5:56:51
  Speaker 7: Only a good roguish thing is also the long silence,
• 5:56:57
  Speaker 7: And to look like the winter sky out of a clear,
• 5:57:01
  Speaker 7: round eyed countenance, like it to stifle one's son and
• 5:57:07
  Speaker 7: one's inflexible solar will. Verily, this art and this winter roguedeness,
• 5:57:12
  Speaker 7: I have learnt well, my best loved wickedness and art
• 5:57:18
  Speaker 7: is it that is my silence, hath learned not to
• 5:57:22
  Speaker 7: betray itself by silence clattering with diction and dice. I
• 5:57:27
  Speaker 7: outwit the solemn assistance all those stern watchers. Shall my
• 5:57:32
  Speaker 7: will and purpose elude that no one might see down
• 5:57:37
  Speaker 7: into my depth and into mine ultimate will? For that
• 5:57:40
  Speaker 7: purpose did I devise the long, clear silence. Mady a
• 5:57:45
  Speaker 7: shrewd one. Did I find he veiled his countenance and
• 5:57:48
  Speaker 7: made his water muddy, that no one might see there
• 5:57:52
  Speaker 7: through and there under. But precisely unto him came the
• 5:57:56
  Speaker 7: shrewder distrusters and nutcrackers. Precisely from hint did they fish
• 5:58:01
  Speaker 7: the best concealed fish, But the clear, the honest, the transparent.
• 5:58:08
  Speaker 7: These are for me the wisest silent ones in them,
• 5:58:12
  Speaker 7: so profound is the depth that even the clearest water
• 5:58:17
  Speaker 7: doth not portray it. Thou snow bearded, silent winter sky,
• 5:58:23
  Speaker 7: Thou round eyed white head above me. Oh, thou heavenly
• 5:58:27
  Speaker 7: simile of my soul in its wantonness. And must I
• 5:58:32
  Speaker 7: not conceal myself like one who hath swallowed gold, lest
• 5:58:35
  Speaker 7: my soul should be ripped up? Must I not wear
• 5:58:39
  Speaker 7: stilts that they may overlook my long legs. All those
• 5:58:43
  Speaker 7: enviers and injurers around me, those dingy, fire warmed, used up,
• 5:58:49
  Speaker 7: green tinted, ill natured shoals, How could their envy endure
• 5:58:54
  Speaker 7: my happiness?
• 5:58:57
  Speaker 6: Thus?
• 5:58:57
  Speaker 7: Do I show them only the ice and windinter of
• 5:59:00
  Speaker 7: my peaks, and not that my mountain windeth all the
• 5:59:05
  Speaker 7: solar girdles around it. They hear only the whistling of
• 5:59:09
  Speaker 7: my winter storms, and know not that I also travel
• 5:59:13
  Speaker 7: under warm seas like longing, heavy hot south winds. They
• 5:59:19
  Speaker 7: commiserate also my accidents and chances. But my word saith
• 5:59:24
  Speaker 7: suffer the chance to come unto me innocent is it
• 5:59:28
  Speaker 7: as a little child? How could they endure my happiness
• 5:59:33
  Speaker 7: if I did not put around it accidents and winter privations,
• 5:59:37
  Speaker 7: and bare skin caps and enmantling snowflakes. If I did
• 5:59:42
  Speaker 7: not myself commiserate their pity, the pity of those enviers
• 5:59:46
  Speaker 7: and injurers, if I did not myself sigh before them
• 5:59:51
  Speaker 7: and chatter with cold and patiently let myself be swathed
• 5:59:56
  Speaker 7: in their pity. This is the wise wack will and
• 6:00:01
  Speaker 7: good will of my soul. That it concealeth not its
• 6:00:05
  Speaker 7: winters and glacial storms, It concealeth not its chill banes.
• 6:00:10
  Speaker 7: Either to one man, lonesomeness is the flight of the
• 6:00:15
  Speaker 7: sick one to another. It is the flight from the
• 6:00:19
  Speaker 7: sick ones. Let them hear me chattering and sighing with
• 6:00:23
  Speaker 7: winter cold, all those poor squinting knaves around me, with
• 6:00:29
  Speaker 7: such sighing and chattering, do I flee from their heated rooms?
• 6:00:33
  Speaker 7: Let them sympathize with me and sigh with me on
• 6:00:36
  Speaker 7: account of my chilblains quote at the ice of knowledge,
• 6:00:41
  Speaker 7: will he yet freeze to death? Unquote? So they mourn? Meanwhile,
• 6:00:48
  Speaker 7: do I run with warm feet hither and thither on
• 6:00:52
  Speaker 7: mine olive mount, in the sunny corner of my olive mount,
• 6:00:56
  Speaker 7: Do I sing and mock at all pity, thus saying
• 6:01:02
  Speaker 7: Zarathustra and of Part three, Chapter fifty Part three, Chapter
• 6:01:14
  Speaker 7: fifty one. On passing by thus slowly wandering through many
• 6:01:22
  Speaker 7: cities and drivers cities, did Zarathustra return by round about
• 6:01:26
  Speaker 7: roads to his mountains and his cave. And behold thereby
• 6:01:30
  Speaker 7: he came he unawares also to the gate of the
• 6:01:33
  Speaker 7: great city. Here, however, a roaming fool with extended hands
• 6:01:39
  Speaker 7: sprang toward him and stood in his way. It was
• 6:01:42
  Speaker 7: the same fool whom the people called the Ape of Zarathustra,
• 6:01:47
  Speaker 7: for he had learned from him something of the expression
• 6:01:50
  Speaker 7: and modulation of language, and perhaps liked to borrow from
• 6:01:53
  Speaker 7: the store of wisdom. And the fool talked thus to Zarathustra, Oh, Zarathustra,
• 6:02:00
  Speaker 7: here is the great city. Here thou hast nothing to seek,
• 6:02:04
  Speaker 7: in everything to lose. Why wouldst thou wide through this mire,
• 6:02:08
  Speaker 7: have pity on thy foot? Spit rather on the gate
• 6:02:11
  Speaker 7: of the city, and turn back. Here is the hell
• 6:02:15
  Speaker 7: for anchorite's thoughts. Here are great thoughts, seethed, alive and
• 6:02:20
  Speaker 7: boiled small. Here do all great sentiments decay. Here may
• 6:02:25
  Speaker 7: only rattle bone, sensations rattle Spellest thou not already the
• 6:02:30
  Speaker 7: shambles and cookshops of the spirit. Steameth not this city
• 6:02:34
  Speaker 7: with the fumes of slaughtered spirit. Seest thou not souls
• 6:02:40
  Speaker 7: hanging like limp dirty rags, And they make newspapers also
• 6:02:43
  Speaker 7: out of these rags. Hearest thou not how spirit hath
• 6:02:49
  Speaker 7: here become a verbal game, loathsome verbal swill, dofit, vomit forth,
• 6:02:54
  Speaker 7: and they make newspapers out of this verbal swill. They
• 6:02:58
  Speaker 7: hound one another, and know not whither. They inflame one another,
• 6:03:02
  Speaker 7: and know not why they tinkle with their pinchbeck, they
• 6:03:06
  Speaker 7: jingle with their gold. They are cold and seek warmth
• 6:03:10
  Speaker 7: from distilled waters. They are inflamed, and seek coolness from
• 6:03:15
  Speaker 7: frozen spirits. They are all sick and sore through public opinion.
• 6:03:20
  Speaker 7: All lusts and vices are here at home. But here
• 6:03:24
  Speaker 7: there are also the virtuous. There is much appointable, appointed virtue,
• 6:03:30
  Speaker 7: much appointable virtue, with scribe fingers and hardly sitting flesh
• 6:03:34
  Speaker 7: and waiting flesh blessed with small breasts, stars and padded
• 6:03:39
  Speaker 7: haunchless daughters. There is here also much piety and much
• 6:03:44
  Speaker 7: faithful spittle licking and spittle backing. Before the God of
• 6:03:48
  Speaker 7: Hosts from on high drippeth the star and the gracious spittle.
• 6:03:55
  Speaker 7: For the high longeth every starlus bosom. The moon hath
• 6:04:00
  Speaker 7: its court, and the court hath its moon calves unto
• 6:04:03
  Speaker 7: all however that cometh from the court. Do the medicant
• 6:04:08
  Speaker 7: people pray and all appointable mendicant virtues. I serve thou
• 6:04:14
  Speaker 7: servest we serve. So prayeth all appointable virtue to the Prince.
• 6:04:19
  Speaker 7: That the merited star may at last stick on the
• 6:04:22
  Speaker 7: slender breast. But the moon still resolveth around all that
• 6:04:26
  Speaker 7: is earthly. So resolveth also the Prince around what is
• 6:04:31
  Speaker 7: earthliest of all, that, however, is the gold of the shopman.
• 6:04:36
  Speaker 7: The god of the host of war is not the
• 6:04:39
  Speaker 7: god of the golden bar. The Prince prospereth, but the
• 6:04:42
  Speaker 7: shopman disposeeth by all that is luminous and strong and good.
• 6:04:49
  Speaker 7: In the o Zarathustra. Spit on this city of shopmen,
• 6:04:53
  Speaker 7: and return back here floweth all blood putridly and tepidly
• 6:04:58
  Speaker 7: and frothily through all. Split on the great city, which
• 6:05:03
  Speaker 7: is a great slum, where all the scum frotheest together.
• 6:05:09
  Speaker 7: Spit on the city of compressed souls and slender breasts
• 6:05:13
  Speaker 7: of pointed eyes and sticky fingers on the city of
• 6:05:16
  Speaker 7: the obstrusive, the brazen face, the penn demagogues and tongue demagogue,
• 6:05:21
  Speaker 7: the overheated, ambitious, where everything maimed, ill, famed, lustful, untrustful,
• 6:05:27
  Speaker 7: over mellow, sticky, yellow, and seditious, festuous, pernicious. Spit on
• 6:05:32
  Speaker 7: this great city and turn back.
• 6:05:36
  Speaker 2: Here.
• 6:05:37
  Speaker 7: However, did Zarathustra interrupt the foaming fool and shut his mouth?
• 6:05:42
  Speaker 7: Stop this at once, called out Zarathustra. Long have thy
• 6:05:46
  Speaker 7: speech and thy species disgusted me? Why didst thou live
• 6:05:50
  Speaker 7: so long by the swamp that thou hadst to become
• 6:05:54
  Speaker 7: a frog? And a toad floweth there not a tainted,
• 6:05:58
  Speaker 7: frothy swamp, blood and thine own veins, when thou hast
• 6:06:01
  Speaker 7: learned to croak and revile? Why weenest thou not into
• 6:06:06
  Speaker 7: the forest? Or why didst thou not till the ground?
• 6:06:10
  Speaker 7: Is the sea not full of green islands? I despise
• 6:06:14
  Speaker 7: thy contempt? And when thou warnedest me, why didt thou
• 6:06:17
  Speaker 7: not warn thyself? Out of love? Alone? Shall my contempt
• 6:06:21
  Speaker 7: in my
