Epigraph:
Thus spake Zarathrustra
Friederich Nietzsche 1988-1900
Oh man, give me heed!
How speaks the deep of midnight
I sleep, I sleep
From deepest dream I wake to light;
The world is deep
And deeper than the day believes,
Deep is your woe
Joy deeper than sorrow
Woe speaks: pass by!
But all joy wills eternity
Deep deep eternity
