Similarly, when theoretical physicists dream of a utopian golden age of scientific discovery where humans have evolved to the point of mastering hyperspace and bending the universe to their will, the value of it is not that logical calculations indicate humans are too insignificant for this to be our destiny, but rather the value is in the theory itself of creating a vastly unprecedented and advanced society, the architectural model of how humanity could evolve and what humanity should achieve. The value of a novel is not that it is real or will ever happen but rather it represents reality in an architectural model of how it could be or should be. O Will, thou change of every need, MY needfulness! Spare me for one great victory!. A sun itself, and an inexorable sun-will, ready for annihilation in victory! A star, ready and ripe in its noontide, glowing, pierced, blessed, by annihilating sun-arrows:. Ready for myself and for my most hidden Will: a bow eager for its arrow, an arrow eager for its star:.

That I may one day be ready and ripe in the great noontide: ready and ripe like the glowing ore, the lightning-bearing cloud, and the swelling milk-udder:. Thou fatedness of my soul, which I call fate! Thou In-me! Over-me! Preserve and spare me for one great fate!Īnd thy last greatness, my Will, spare it for thy last-that thou mayest be inexorable IN thy victory! Ah, who hath not succumbed to his victory!Īh, whose eye hath not bedimmed in this intoxicated twilight! Ah, whose foot hath not faltered and forgotten in victory-how to stand!. O thou, my Will! Thou change of every need, MY needfulness! Preserve me from all small victories!
