وإنّ بي وَجَعًا شَبَّهتُه بِصَدىً
إنْ رنّ رانَ وعُشبٍ حينَ نمّ نما
كأنّني عَلَمٌ لا ريحَ تَنشرُهُ
أو ريحُ أخبارِ نَصرٍ لَم تَجِد عَلَما
This seeking for my home: do you know this seeking was my affliction, it is consuming me.
‘Where is – my home? I ask and seek and have sought for it, I have not found it. Oh eternal Everywhere, oh eternal Nowhere, oh eternal – Vanity!’
Thus spoke the shadow.

Zarathustra replied at length: ‘Your danger is no small one, you free spirit and wanderer! You have had a bad day: see to it that you do not have a worse evening!
‘Even a prison at last seems bliss to such restless people as you. Have you ever seen how captured criminals sleep? They sleep peacefully, they enjoy their new security.
‘Take care that you are not at last captured by a narrow belief, a hard, stern illusion! For henceforth everything that is narrow and firm will entice and tempt you.


- Thus Spoke Zarathustra
‘Be quiet!’ he said in a modest voice, ‘good songs want to echo well; one should be long silent after good songs.’

«لا تتكلم!» قالَ بِصوتٍ هادئ، «كُلّ الأغاني الجيدة تريدُ أنْ تَترك صَدىً؛ على المرءِ أنْ يُطيلَ الصمتَ بعدَ أُغنيةٍ جيّدة»
Has he not created the world after his own image, that is, as stupid as possible?

Courage, however, and adventure and joy in the unknown, the unattempted – courage seems to me the whole pre-history of man.
‘He has envied the wildest, most courageous animals all their virtues and robbed them of them: only thus did he become – man.

الشجاعةُ، على أيِّ حال، والمجازفةُ والمتعةُ في اكتشافِ ما هو مَجهول وما لَم يتجرأ عليهِ أحدٌ مِن قَبل – يبدو لي أنّ الشجاعةَ هي كُلُّ التاريخِ القديمِ للإنسان.
«إذ حَسَدَ أشجعَ الحيواناتَ وأكثرَها جموحًا على كلِّ فضائلِها فَسَرَقها منهم: هكذا فقط صارَ الإنسانُ إنسانًا.»
But you, when I see what eyes you make, almost seem to me to be seeking more insecurity,
more horror, more danger, more earthquaking. You have a desire, I almost think, forgive me my presumption, you Higher Men,
you have a desire for the worst, most dangerous kind of life that terrifies me the most, for the life of wild animals, for the forests, caves, steep mountains, and labyrinths.

لكنّكم، عندما أتأمَلُ عيونَكم وخَلَجاتِها، يكادُ يبدو لي أنّكم تَبغونَ المزيدَ من اللاأمان،
المزيدَ مِن الرُّعب والخَطَر والزلازل. أكادُ أظنُّ، واغفِروا لي افتراضي أيها الأفرادُ الراقون،
أنّ عِندَكم شهوةً لأسوأ وأخطَرِ أنواعِ الحياةِ التي تُرعِبني، شهوةً لحياةِ الحيوانات البريّة وللغابات والكهوف والجبالِ الصعبةِ والمتاهات.
Who can be compared with you in majesty?
Consider Assyria, once a cedar in Lebanon,
With beautiful branches overshadowing the forest;
it towered on high

[Ezekiel 31:1-3]
The righteous will flourish like a palm tree,
    they will grow like a cedar of Lebanon;
planted in the house of the Lord,
    they will flourish in the courts of our God.


[Psalm 92:12-13]
