Desintegration of Utopia
... "And immediately it became still and mysterious round about; from the depth however there came up slowly the sound of a clock-bell. Zarathustra listened thereto, like the higher men; then, however, laid he his finger on his mouth the second time, and said again: "COME! COME! IT IS GETTING ON TO MIDNIGHT!" - and his voice had changed.”...
Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus spoke Zarathustra, Part 4, LXXIX. The drunken song.
Desintegration of Utopia
ONE!
O man! Take heed!
TWO!
What saith deep midnight's voice indeed?
What saith deep midnight's voice indeed?
THREE!
I slept my sleep--,
FOUR!
From deepest dream I've woke, and plead:--
FIVE!
The world is deep,
SIX!
And deeper than the day could read.
SEVEN!
Deep is its woe--,
EIGHT!
Joy--deeper still than grief can be:
NINE!
Woe saith: Hence! Go!
TEN!
But joys all want eternity-,
ELEVEN!
-Want deep, profound eternity!
TWELVE!
