I am light; oh that I were night! But this is my loneliness, that I am girded by light. Oh that I were dark and nocturnal! How I would suck at the breasts of light! And even you I would bless, you little twinkling stars and glowworms up there! – And be blissful for your gift of light. But I live in my own light, I drink back into myself the flames that break out of me.

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "I am light; oh that I were night! But this is my loneliness, that I am girded by light. Oh that I were dark and nocturnal! How I would suck at the breasts of light! And even you I would bless, you little twinkling stars and glowworms up there! – And be blissful for your gift of light. But I live in my own light, I drink back into myself the flames that break out of me." in the context of "Friedrich Nietzsche, Thus Spoke Zarathustra (1891), Night Song, translated by Adrian Del Caro" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
