Subject: Of the Three Metamorphoses


Hi everyone:

This is my first post to this list and I just wanted to ask something that
is probably a very basic question, but anyways, there it goes:

In Z's Part One, Z's discourses, the first one is named 'Of the Three
Metamorphoses':
"I name you three metamorphoses of the spirit: how the spirit shall become a
camel, and the camel a lion, and the lion at last a child."

The thing is that I find quite clear and elaborated the first and second
metamorphoses of the spirit (camel and lion) but rather obscure the last one
(child), where I find N didn't elaborate his concept of a child as much as the
previous ones. He just names a few 'features' that such a spirit should/would
have, such as innocence, forgetfulness, etc. Could anyone point me in the right
direction? (either other works of Nietzsche or comments found somewhere else).

Thanks a lot in advance.
