“Fundamentally standeth everything still”—: but contrary thereto, preacheth the thawing wind!
The thawing wind, a bullock, which is no ploughing bullock—a furious bullock, a destroyer, which with angry horns breaketh the ice! The ice however⸺ breaketh gangways !
O my brethren, is not everything at present in flux ? Have not all railings and gangways fallen into the water? Who would still hold on to “good” and “evil”?
“Woe to us! Hail to us! The thawing wind bloweth!”—Thus preach, my brethren, through all the streets!
There is an old illusion—it is called good and evil. Around soothsayers and astrologers hath hitherto revolved the orbit of this illusion.
