FAME AND ETERNITY '(poetry)
1.
How long have you sit on your
adversity?
Be careful! you still haunts me a
egg, an egg
basilisk
from your long breath.
Why Zarathustra strip along the mountain? -
Wary, ulcers, deep, long-lurking
-,
but, suddenly, a flash light
, terrible,
a shot against the sky of the abyss: the mountain itself
shake the guts ...
Where hatred and lightning
joined a curse, now dwelling in the mountains
the wrath of Zarathustra, as
storm cloud band on its way.
burrow who has a final covered!
In bed you, be gentle! They roll on the thunder
hours sometimes
trembles now all that is beam and wall,
heave hour lightning and truth - yellow sulfur -
Zarathustra curses ...
2. This
currency in which the whole world pays
fame -,
grab with gloves on this coin,
disgust with the trample under me.
Who wants to be paid?
Those who can buy ...
Who is on sale, big hands reaching out
to this comfortable rattling tin, fame!
- Will you buy them?
everyone can buy.
but he offered a lot! Make
rattling a bag!
- otherwise will reinforce them, otherwise they will reinforce
virtue ... They are all virtuous.
Fame and virtue - agree.
As long live the world,
will pay the chatter of virtue
with the din of glory -,
the world lives this noise ...
before all the virtuosi
I want to be guilty, guilty
be called for every big fault!
before all the megaphones of fame
my ambition gets the worm -,
between them takes my desire to be lowest ...
This coin which
The whole world pays
fame -,
grab with gloves this currency ,
disgust with the trampled beneath me.

Silence!
of great things - I see great things! -
be silent or speak with greatness:
talks greatness, my enraptured me!
I look up - there
flowing seas of light:
oh night, oh the silence, oh silent roar like death!
... I see a - sign, from the farthest distances
falls to me slowly, glistening a constellation ...
4.
astro Supreme Being!
table eternal images!
You come to me? -
What no one has seen,
suit your beauty - as
? it does not run away before my eyes?
Flag of need!
table eternal images!
- but you know it:
what we all hate what
I just love you,
that you are forever!
that you are needed!
My love will light the flame
only ever needed.
Flag of need!
astro Supreme Being!
- no desire reaches
that no soil, you
eternal being, I am eternally
your will:
because I love you, O eternity! -
(Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche)
