Friedrich Nietzsche: Thus Spake Zarathustra

SECOND PART. 27. XXVII. THE VIRTUOUS. (continued)

They played by the sea--then came there a wave and swept their playthings into the deep: and now do they cry.

But the same wave shall bring them new playthings, and spread before them new speckled shells!

Thus will they be comforted; and like them shall ye also, my friends, have your comforting--and new speckled shells!--

Thus spake Zarathustra.
