Du

Resplendent As Smoky Mountain Du Revised 2nd edition

Hitting off from Hollingdale's introduction to and translation of Nietzsche's 'Thus Spoke Zarathustra', things took a hilarious turn with the American comedienne's "Yep, it's her father" big one, and this anthology of incidental verse came of its own. It just happened. The original opening line in 'On Nietzsche's Spur, or, Nietzsche And The Woman' was, I thought, an absolute turn of poetic mind by the Muse when it hit me, had been lost when I had deleted the entire incipient project while in a negative, down and diffident mood, but happily I managed just now to retrieve from this other Internet café's hard drive, and the original poem is here presented in full with a new stanza giving new slants of the original inspiration. Hence this revised second edition. 'A Bedtime Story', and the pieces on the Australian parliament's videoed "sex acts" in parliament and the latest discovery on the muon vis-à-vis the electron all add pizzazz to this leisure volume. Recycled waste, or something.
