Venice, beginning of May 1884: Letter to Malwilda von Meysenbug
By now, my highly esteemed friend, the last two parts of Zarathustra are hopefully in your hands [....] Who knows how many generations it will take to produce a few men who can fully appreciate what I have done. And I am appalled by the thought of all the unqualified and wholly unsuitable types who will some day appeal to my authority. But this is the torment of every great teacher of mankind: he knows that he has as much chance of becoming its curse as its blessing.
I myself will do what I can to ward off at least the crudest misunderstandings. Now that I have built this vestibule for my philosophy, I must get back to work and not tire until the main structure stands finished before me. [....]
But this loneliness, ever since childhood! This reserve, in the most intimate relationships! Even kindness can no longer reach me.
In Nice, during Fräulein Schirhofer’s visit, I did often think of you with genuine gratitude, for I realized that you meant to be kind. Actually, it was a visit at the right time, a pleasant and profitable one (especially since no interfering, conceited goose was present—sorry, I was referring to my sister!). But basically I think that no one can help me overcome this deep-rooted feeling of being alone. I've never found anyone I can talk to the way I talk with myself. — Forgive me for such a confession, my revered friend! [....]
I am angry with myself for the inhuman letter I sent you last summer; that unspeakably nasty turmoil made me downright ill. Meanwhile the situation has changed: I have broken with my sister completely. For heaven’s sake do not dream of trying to intercede; between a vengeful anti-Semitic goose and me there can be no reconciliation. Anyway, I’m being as tolerant as I can, since I know what can be said in defense of my sister and what lies behind her so abusive and shameful behavior toward me:—love. It is absolutely necessary that she set sail for Paraguay as soon as possible. Later, much later, she will come to realize all by herself how much harm she did me during the most decisive period of my life with these incessant dirty-minded insinuations about my character (the business has been going on for two years!). I am also left with the very awkward task of trying to make some amends to Dr. Rée and Frl. Salomé for what my sister has done. [....] She is devoid of all psychological insight. [....] |
