Smile not for long as if hens could swallow canaries - for let us just
stop halfway through your smile: can anyone read anything (not anybody,
any 'author') without contaminating that reading by one's living?  Guess
not - or will you dare to contradict?  If not, very well then, all that
matters is whether the Nietzsche that rings in your ears comes with the
figure of the Heidi-daddy or some other fac-simile, _or_ the figure of
_another thinker_ (not another clown), an intercessor, who at least
attempted honestly and legitimately to interpret Nietzsche.  Lo and
behold, suddenly interpretation, and its legitimacy, count for nothing,
eh?  They are good to discard logic and even absolutes, but useless with
regards to a little cephalic reading of our Heidi?

You might be surprised - Kelly's reading of Nietzsche may yet prove it
can teach you something.
