Exercice de style #4: Nietzsche

akalollip — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 08:00:17 +0000

An extract from ‘Der tolle Mensch’, tale appearing in Nietzsche’s book Die fröhlische Wissenchaft (The Gay Science), it is in this tale that a ‘foolish man’ announces to a non-believing audience that God is dead, killed by man. Here’s a quick translation of this quote:

« Lightning and thunder need time,
The light of stars needs time,
deeds need time,
even after they’re done,
to be seen and heard. »

[The Number Of The Beast – Iron Maiden]

“… Let him who hath understanding, reckon the number of the beast,
for it is a human number…”
