 OF THE VISION AND THE RIDDLE 22Q

No longer a shepherd, no longer a man, a changed one, one surrounded by light who laughed! Never on earth hath a man laughed as he did.

O my brethren, I heard a laughter that was no man's laughter. And now a thirst gnaweth at me, a longing that is never stilled.

My longing for that laughter gnaweth at me. Oh, how can I endure still to live ! and how could I en- dure to die now ! "

Thus spake Zarathustra.
