He advocated the circle after the longest night 
He faced demonic visions filled with endless fright 
The world is our garden to be embraced not denied 
Can words and sounds bridge the separation of our minds? 

Sick by his own redemption, his inversion of values 
The smallness of the great man still finds a way to bind him 
Man must become what he is by embracing the 'evil' within 
The great disgust with humankind must we overcome and spit out 

"How well you know what consolation I invented for myself in seven days! 
That I have to sing once more..." 

"All things eternally return 
And we ourselves with them 
We have already existed an infinite number of times 
And all things with us 
The knot of causes of which I am intertwined is part of the causes of the eternal return" 

"I come again 
With this sun 
With this earth 
With this eagle 
With this snake 
Not to a new life Or a better life 
I come again eternally 
To this identical and self-same life" 

In all its greatest and smallest 
To teach again the eternal return of all things 
To proclaim the ubermensch to man 
To proclaim the ubermensch again 
The Convalescent is the teacher of eternal return-a dangerous crushing destiny is now learned.
