Nietzsche
From ecstasies of Dionysian rhapsodies
To polished gems of Apollonian austerity,
How behind your writings inspiration lurks!
You noble prankster! How your reason’s magic works!
Tragic and profound, no mere ass, fool and poet!
Without inspiring belief and open to critique,
Your words dwell in my heart and to my mind they leap;
Rapt with joy and speechless, now I laugh now weep.
