Nietzsche - v17 - Ecce Homo
When money leaps into the box
The soul leaps into it too! *
Are ye women,
That ye wish to suffer
From that which ye love?
* Alluding to the saving as the Tommon mens s
who sold indulgences or the time when -

99
They are cold, these men of learning!
Would that a lightning-flash might strike their
food,
And their mouths could learn to eat fire!
101
Your false love
For the past,
A love for the graves of the dead,
Is a theft from life
That steals all the future.
* * * *
An antiquary
Is a craftsman of dead things,
Who lives among coffins and skeletons.
103
Only the poet who can lie
Wilfully, skilfully,
Can tell the truth.
104
Our chase after truth,
Is't a chase after happiness?
Truth
Is a woman, no better,
Cunning in her shame:
Of what she likes best
She will know naught,
And covers her face. . .
To what doth she yield

POETRY
But to violence?
Violence she needs.
Be hard, ye sages!
Ye must compel her,
That shamefaced Truth. . . .
For her happiness
She needs constraint-
She is a woman, no better.
106
We thought evil of each other ?
We were too distant,
But now in this tiny hut,
Pinned to one destiny,
How could we still be foes ?
We must needs love those
Whom we cannot escape.
107
Love thy foe,
Let the robber rob thee:
The woman hears and-does it.
110
A proud eye
With silken curtains,
Seldom clear,
Honours him that may see it unveiled.
III
Sluggard eyes
That seldom love-
But when they love, the levin flashes
As from shafts of gold
Where a dagger keeps guard at the treasure of love.

117
They are crabs, for whom I have no fellow-feeling.
Grasp them, they pinch you;
Leave them alone, and they walk backward.
119
Crooked go great rivers and men,
Crooked, but turned to their goal;
That is their highest courage,
They dreaded not crooked paths.
121
Wouldst catch them?
Then speak to them
As to stray sheep:
"Your path, your path
You have lost! "
They follow all
That flatter them so:
"What? had we a path? "
Each whispers the other:
"It really seems that we have a path. "

It is claimed for these translations that they have been written by accom-
plished German scholars, who have spared no pains to render the poetical,
passionate, racy, and witty style of Nietzsche in adequate English. Original
and valuable introductions are prefixed to all the translations, giving all details
as to dates, circumstances, Nietzsche's development, &c, so that each volume
may be bought separately.

WHO IS TO BE MASTER OF
THE WORLD?
An Introduction to the Philosophy of Friedrich Nietzsche
By A. M. LUDOVICI.
With a Preface by Dr. Oscar Levy.
Crown ivo, 216 pages, 2s. 6d. net.
(T. N. Fodlis. )
In this book the author has made a plain and lucid
statement of Nietzsche's views. The work embodies the
Three Lectures recently given at University College,
London, and other matter besides—together with copious
references to the numerous philosophers, historians, and
scientists who may be said to have led up to Friedrich
Nietzsche's position.
"The lectures are well worth reading, as showing what Nietzsche-
anism really means. "—Glasgow Herald.
"If this little book does not impel some young and gallant spirits
to the works of the philosopher, I shall be surprised. . . . Mr.
Ludovici shows such clearness, method, constructive art, as belong
to a master of exposition. "—Westminster Gazette.
THE REVIVAL OF ARISTOCRACY.
By Dr. OSCAR LEVY.
35. 6d. (let.
(Probsthain. )
A fierce indictment of the philosophy of the nineteenth
century, and of the events which led to it. Special chapters
are devoted to Napoleon, Stendhal, Goethe, and Nietzsche.
"The ablest exposition of Nietzscheanism that has yet appeared. "
—Manchester Guardian.
'' Here we see the philosophy of Nietzsche put into a concentrated
form, and set forth by a clever and biting pen. "—Glasgow Herald.
