Naumburg, April 7, 1866: Letter to Carl von Gersdorff
Dear friend, once in a while there comes those hours of quiet contemplation when, with joy and sadness mixed, we hover over our everyday lives, like those lovely summer days stretching themselves comfortably over the hills, as Emerson describes them so well. It’s then, as he says, that nature achieves perfection; and we—we are then free of the curse of our ever watchful will, we are then pure eye, contemplative and disinterested. In this most desirable of moods I am taking pen in hand to answer your kind letter, which is so full of good ideas. [....]
Three things afford me relief, rare moments of relief from my work: my Schopenhauer, the music of Schumann, and solitary walks. Yesterday a magnificent thunderstorm built up in the sky. I hurried up a nearby hill called “Leusch” (maybe you can check on the meaning of this word for me?), where I came across a hut, a man who was slaughtering two goats, and its kids. The storm broke with tremendous force, gusting and hailing, I felt an incomparable upsurge; I realized that we actually understand nature only when we must fly to her to escape our cares and afflictions. What was man and his restless striving to me then! What was that endless “Thou shalt,” “Thou shalt not"! How different the lightning, the wind, the hail—sovereign powers, without ethics! How happy, how strong they are, pure will, unclouded by intellect!
Your Friend,
Friedrich Nietzsche. |
