Subject: Nietzsche's Nihilism 2


	I think an interesting point of discussion could start here about

-The missing aspects in this poem of Life and Will, which are consistent
themes in the later Nietzsche

-The preface to Ecce Homo, where Nietzsche suggests that Zarathustra is a liar

-How this poem makes every accomplishment of Zarathustra in Thus Spoke
Zarathustra worthless and self-destructive

-Does Nietzsche suggest through this poem that all of his work was for
naught and there is only a void and no superabundance of life?

Here are two variants from this passage

Variant 1 
full of deep mistrust 
overgrown with moss, 
lonely, 
of steadfast will, an 
enemy to all who are greedy, 
a silent one. 


Variant 2 
hollow, cavernous, full of poison and night-fowl, 
universally applauded, universally feared, 
lonely.


Dan
