Thus Spoke Zarathustra (German: Also sprach Zarathustra), subtitled A Book for All and None (Ein Buch für Alle und Keinen), was composed by German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, in four parts between 1883 and 1885. It famously declares that “God is dead”, elaborates Nietzsche’s conception of the will to power, and serves as an introduction to his doctrine of eternal return.
“ O man, take care!
What does the deep midnight declare?
“I was asleep—
From a deep dream I woke and swear:—
The world is deep,
Deeper than day had been aware.
Deep is its woe—
Joy—deeper yet than agony:
Woe implores: Go!
But all joy wants eternity—
Wants deep, wants deep eternity.”
