Nietzsche

Friedrich W. Nietzsche (1844-1990).
German philosopher.

German German original

English English version

Dies hatte Zarathustra zu   seinem Herzen gesprochen, als die Sonne im Mittag stand: da blickte er fragend in die Höhe - denn er Hórte über sich den scharfen Ruf eines Vogels.  Und siehe! Ein Adler zog in weiten Kreisen durch die Luft, und an ihm hing eine Schlange, nicht einer Beute gleich, sondern einer Freundin: denn sie hielt sich um seinen Hals geringelt.

"Es sind meine Tiere!" sagte Zarathustra und freute sich von Herzen.

"Das stolzeste Tier unter der Sonne und das klügste Tier unter der Sonne - sie sind ausgezogen auf Kundschaft.

Erkunden wollen sie, ob Zarathustra noch lebe.  Wahrlich, lebe ich noch?

Gefährlicher fand ich's unter Menschen als unter Tieren, gefährliche Wege geht Zarathustra. Mögen mich meine Tiere führen!"

Als Zarathustra dies gesagt hatte, gedachte er der Worte des Heiligen im Walde, seufzte und sprach also zu seinem Herzen:

"Möchte ich klüge sein!   Möchte ich klug von Grund aus sein gleich meiner Schlange!

Aber Unmögliches bitte ich da: so bitte ich denn meinen Stolz, daß  er immer mit meiner Klugheit gehe!

Und wenn mich einst meine Klugheit verläßt: -ach, sie liebt es, davonzufliegen! - möge meine Stolz dann noch mit meiner Torheit fliegen"-

- Also beggan Zarathustras Untergang.

Friedrich Nietzsche,
Also sprach Zarathustra,
Erster Teil, Zarathustras Vorrede, 10

This had Zarathustra said to his heart when the sun stood at noon-tide. Then he looked inquiringly aloft,- for he heard above him the sharp call of a bird. And behold! An eagle swept through the air
in wide circles, and on it hung a serpent, not like a prey, but like a friend: for it kept itself coiled round the eagle's neck.

"They are mine animals," said Zarathustra, and rejoiced in his heart.

"The proudest animal under the sun, and the wisest animal under the sun,- they have come out to reconnoitre.

They want to know whether Zarathustra still liveth. Verily, do I still live?

More dangerous have I found it among men than among animals; in dangerous paths goeth Zarathustra. Let mine animals lead me!

When Zarathustra had said this, he remembered the words of the saint in the forest. Then he sighed and spake thus to his heart:

"Would that I were wiser! Would that I were wise from the very heart, like my serpent!

But I am asking the impossible. Therefore do I ask my pride to go always with my wisdom!

And if my wisdom should some day forsake me:- alas! it loveth to fly away!- may my pride then fly with my folly!"

Thus began Zarathustra's down-going.

Friedrich Nietzsche,
Thus Spoke Zarathustra,
First Part, Zarathustra's Preface, 10
