Notes

  • Epigraph:

    Thus spake Zarathrustra

    Friederich Nietzsche 1988-1900

    Oh man, give me heed!

    How speaks the deep of midnight

    I sleep, I sleep

    From deepest dream I wake to light;

    The world is deep

    And deeper than the day believes,

    Deep is your woe

    Joy deeper than sorrow

    Woe speaks: pass by!

    But all joy wills eternity

    Deep deep eternity
