How long will you sit
on your misfortune?
Watch out! You hatch me yet
Another egg,
A basilisk-egg
Out of your long misery.
Why did Zarathustra sneak along the mountains? —
Distrustful, ulcerous, gloomy,
One who long lies in wait —
But suddenly, lightning,
Bright, terrible, a blast
Heavenwards out of the abyss:
The mountains themselves shake from
The bowels of the earth ...
Where hate and lightning-flash
Become one, a curse —
Now Zarathustra's wrath cuts across the mountains,
A storm-cloud creeps along its way.
Sneak off, one who has a last cover!
Into bed with you, you weakling!
Now rolling thunder over the vaults,
Then shaking, as the beams and wall,
Then flickering lightning and sulphur-yellow truths —
Zarathustra curses ...
