Nietzsche's love of Emerson

Post by Soul_of_Shu »

Some eloquent biographical archaeology into the kindred psyche's of Nietzsche and Emerson ...

Here out of instinct or grace we seek
soulmates in these galleries of hieroglyph and glass,
where mutual longings and sufferings of love
are laid bare in transfigured exhibition of our hearts,
we who crave deep secrets and mysteries,
as elusive as the avatars of our dreams.

Thanks for sharing! These types of cross-cultural philosophical connections fascinate me. There is definitely Nietzsche connection to Wordsworth and Coleridge too.
"They only can acquire the sacred power of self-intuition, who within themselves can interpret and understand the symbol... those only, who feel in their own spirits the same instinct, which impels the chrysalis of the horned fly to leave room in the involucrum for antennae yet to come."
