Countering Zero

To the Power of Zero

The herd instinct, then--a power that has now become sovereign — is
something totally different from the instinct of an aristocratic
society: and the value of the units determines the significance of the
sum. --Our entire sociology simply does not know any other instinct than
that of the herd, i. e., that of the sum of zeroes--where every zero has
"egual rights," where it is virtuous to be zero.-

- Nietzsche, "Will to Power" (#53)

Even in moments of doubt
Help my unbelief

Tempus Fugit!

"The Moving Finger writes: and, having writ,
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit
Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

- Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam

Oddyseus Responding to Syrens

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.

- Edgar Allan Poe, "Alone"
