Of the Thousand and one Goals


Peoples were the creators at first; only later were
individuals creators. Indeed, the individual himself
is still the latest creation.

Of Flies of the Market Place


Flee, my friend, into your solitude and
where the raw, rough breeze blows!
It is not your fate to be a fly-swat.

The experience of all deep wells is slow:
they must wait long until they know what
has fallen into their depths.

Ecstatic Longing


Tell it to the wisest only,
For the mob will mock such learning:
I will praise the living creature
That can long for death by burning.


As the candle's quiet gleaming
Cools the nights of hot surrender,
You are touched by strange emotion,
Born again as you engender.


You have passed beyond the shadows:
Snatched aloft, you shall discover
New desire and higher union:
Thrall of darkness now is over.


Distance tires you not nor hinders,
On you come with fated flight
Till, poor moth, at last you perish
In the flame, in love with light.


Die into becoming! Grasp
This, or sad and weary
Shall your sojourn ever be
On the dark earth dreary.
Goethe

I have learned to walk: since then I have run. I have learned to fly:
since then I do not have to be pushed in order to move. Now I am
nimble, now I fly, now I see myself under myself, now a god 
dances with me.
Nietzsche

I should believe only in a God who understood how to dance.
