Ultimate Will

       

To die thus,
As once I saw him die —
The friend who threw divine thunderbolts and
Glances into my dark youth.
Sportive and profound,
A dancer in the battle —

The most cheerful among warriors,
The gravest among victors,
A fate standing upon his fate,
Hard, reflective, calculating:

Trembling because he triumphed,
Rejoicing in that he triumphed dying:

Commanding while he died —
And he commanded that one destroy ...

To die thus,
As once I saw him die —
Vanquishing, destroying ...

Cf. Notebooks, KSA 10, 594, Fall 1883 20 [11] (Notes for Thus Spoke Zarathustra):


Of the One Victory.

Thus, as once I saw him conquering and dying: the friend, who threw divine moments and lightning into my dark youth —

sportive and profound, storming forward for joy even in the storm of battle, forward in bloody pain, and where the chosen flags of the enemy neared, —

among the dying the most cheerful, among the victors the gravest, reflective, calculating, standing on his fate—trembling about it, laughing about it, that he triumphed dying —

commanding while he died:—and he commanded that one destroy and not be sparing

Oh you my will, my in-me, over-me! you my necessity! Give that I also conquer—and save me up for this one victory!

Preserve and save me up and guard me from all small victories, you gift of my soul and turning point of all need, you my necessity!

[Cf. Thus Spoke Zarathustra, Old and New Tables 30.]
