A poem that Nietzsche wrote on his Malling-Hansen Writing Ball

The poem in English translation:

“THE WRITING BALL IS A THING LIKE ME: MADE OF IRON

YET EASILY TWISTED ON JOURNEYS.

PATIENCE AND TACT ARE REQUIRED IN ABUNDANCE

AS WELL AS FINE FINGERS TO USE US."

(Friedrich Nietzsche, on February 16th 1882)

"Today i saw a red-and-yellow sunset and thought, How insignificant i am! of course, i thought that yesterday too, and it rained. I was overcome with self-loathing and contemplated suicide again - this time by inhaling next to an insurance salesman."

Art Yard

I have been thinking about an art yard i would like to build. It would be sort of a big hole in the ground. Actually it wouldn't be a hole to begin with. That would have to be dug. the digging of the hole would be part of the art. Luxurious stands would be made for the art lovers and spectators to sit in.
