Turin, Beginning January, 1889: Letter to August Strindberg
Herr Strindberg
Eheu [Alas]? ... not Divorçons [divorced] after all? ...
The Crucified
Nietzsche/Strindberg Correspondence Selections
Strindberg’s reply to Nietzsche’s 11-27-1888 letter
Holte, Beginning December, 1888: Letter to Friedrich Nietzsche in Turin
Without a doubt, you have given mankind the deepest book1 that it possesses, and not the least is that you have the courage, maybe also the necessity, to spew these magnificent words in the faces of this riff-raft—. I thank you for that! ... I end all my letters to my friends: Read Nietzsche! That is my Carthago est delenda!2 At any rate your greatness, from the moment that you are known and understood, will be degraded, and the sweet rabble will start to address you as familiarly as one of themselves. It is better that you protect your noble solitude and 10,000 feet higher than we others, make a secret pilgrimage to your sanctuary, in order once there, to create to your heart’s content. Let us guard the esoteric teaching, in order to preserve you clean and untouched, leaving you not without the mediation of devoted followers in general.
I sign myself, August Strindberg.
Having read Strindberg’s play The Father and his short novella Utopia in Reality: A Novelle of Peace (Die Utopie in der Wirklichkeit: Eine Friedensnovelle), Nietzsche wrote to Strindberg:
Turin, December 31, 1888
To August Strindberg in Holte
Dear Sir,
You shall soon hear my response to your novella—it will sound like a rifle shot. I have convoked a conference of princes in Rome, I intend to have the young Kaiser face a firing squad.
Auf Wiedersehen! For we shall meet again. Une seule condition: Divorçons ...
Nietzsche Caesar
Strindberg’s 12-31-1888 reply in Latin:
Holtibus pridie cal. Jan. MDCCCLXXXIX
Carissime Doctor!
Jelw, Jelw manhnai!
Litteras tuas non sine perturbatione accepi et tibi gratias ago.
Rectus vives, Licini, neque altum
Semper urgendo, neque dum procellas
Cautus horrescis nimium premendo
Litus iniquum.
Interdum juvat insanire!
Vale et Fave!
Strindberg (Deus, optimus maximus).
English Translation:
Dearest Doctor!
I want, I want to be mad!
I received your letter not without agitation and I thank you for it.
You'll do better, Licinius, not to spend your life
Venturing too far out on the dangerous waters,
Or else, for fear of storms, staying too close in
To the dangerous rocky shoreline3.
Meanwhile it is a joy to be mad!
Farewell and remain well disposed to me!
Strindberg (the best, the highest God).
