They are reprinted here for good
for good custom, a custom out of Tuscany and of Provence ; and
thirdly, for convenience, seeing their small- ness of bulk ; and for good memory,
seeing that they recall certain
evenings
and meetings of two years gone, dull enough at the time, but rather pleasant to look back upon.

Nietzsche - v03 - Future of Our Educational Institutions |

O my friends, thank your god, if you have one, that he
'Twixt the Old World and you set the gulf of a sea;
Be strong-backed, brown-handed, upright as your pines,
By the scale of a hemisphere shape your designs,
Be true to
yourselves
and this new nineteenth age,
As a statue by Powers, or a picture by Page,
Plough, sail, forge, build, carve, paint, make all over new,
To your own New-World instincts contrive to be true, 1130
Keep your ears open wide to the Future's first call,
Be whatever you will, but yourselves first of all,
Stand fronting the dawn on Toil's heaven-scaling peaks,
And become my new race of more practical Greeks.
