An Ode to Eternity

If I be fond of the sea, and all that is of the sea, and fondest of it when it angrily contradicts me;

If the exploring delight be in me, which impels sails to the undiscovered, if the seafarer's delight be in my delight;

If ever my rejoicing has called out: "The shore has vanished, now has fallen from me the last chain";

"The boundless roars around me, far away sparkle for me space and time, well cheer up! Old heart!"

Oh how could I not be ardent for eternity, and for the marriage ring of rings - The Ring of the Return?

Never yet have I found the woman by whom I should like to have children, unless it be this woman whom I love: For I love you Oh Eternity!

For I love you, Oh Eternity!

(Adopted from Thus Spake Zarathustra, by Friedrich Nietzche)

In the face of such sublime artistry, I have no words left to speak.
