O Man! Take heed!
What says the deep midnight?
“I slept, I slept—,
from a deep dream have I awoken:—
the world is deep,
and deeper than the day has thought.
Deep is its pain—,
joy—deeper still than heartache.
Pain says: Pass away!
But all joy seeks eternity—,
—seeks deep, deep eternity!”
Text from Friedrich Nietzsche’s Also sprach Zarathustra: “Midnight Song”
