Friedrich Nietzsche translated by Walter Kaufmann - Thus Spoke Zarathustra: On Reading & Writing
Here we also have one of the few but crucial mentions of Nietzsche's archnemesis- the Spirit ov Gravity. So often our hero is taken to be a gloomy and grey thinker, and if you only read his latest stage stuff and emphasize the unpublished (hence only formative- not final) thoughts, one might glean that impression- but no! That is wrong, and misses the foundational Fritz within the Friedrich! Nietzsche is undoubtedly an ally of the light heart, the chiding and playful, the pouncing and ascending. He is surely no Pangloss or prude. Our fearless Antichristo is an avid ally of the light, the airy, the inflated and experimental- the sanctified Spirit ov Levity.
Begone the morose miserly, the depressed and dreary! All hail the ascendant lord of a dawning eon ov tragic truth! Hail to the Lightbearer!!
Katya stared at me through this whole take and then came in for a cuddle!
