Friedrich Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathustra

FOURTH AND LAST PART. 62. LXII. THE CRY OF DISTRESS. (continued)

Shouldst thou however find honey therein, well! just lick it up, thou growling bear, and sweeten thy soul! For in the evening we want both to be in good spirits;

--In good spirits and joyful, because this day hath come to an end! And thou thyself shalt dance to my lays, as my dancing-bear.

Thou dost not believe this? Thou shakest thy head? Well! Cheer up, old bear! But I also--am a soothsayer."

Thus spake Zarathustra.
