When walking down to the pub this verse jumped into my mind. It is a found
poem from Nietsche in the translation of J.P.Stern.
Now that David is revealed as a loony I dont really know if I should post it
but her goes...
`Our heart is full of terrible pity,
It is the old Jehovah himself preparing for death...
Can you hear the ringing of the bell?
Kneel down, they are bringing the sacraments to a dying God.'
