Whew! In Irish actor, drama coach, director was in my apartment and in my car for two days as we tried to get him back to Ireland. I can hear him reciting this with all the drama, fire, passion and heart of the Irish. A heady experience (yeah, thankfully I haven't asked for a little head yet <G>). I never realized Nietzsche wrote with such drama. I'm going to have to brush up on my German. Imagine how it might sound with the bellowing, resonate and clear power of the German language! Actually, I've never quite been into such high and powerful drama but if you're thinking of killing off God, well, the words fit the deed. I remember my HS German teacher, who admitted me into his German IV class without my ever studying or speaking the German language before's favorite little chant: Morgen, morgen, nicht heute, sagen alle faulen Leute. It's a sweet saying of "today, today, not tomorrow say all the lazy people" but Auf Deutsch it rings so sweetly, clearly and POWERFULLY. German is definitely a language you can get dramatic with very readily. And of course, like all of my teachers in a time when it was OK to not treat students as one homogeneous mass, was full of passion for his subject. Thank you kindly.
