I had a nice relaxing morning. Sitting listening to classical music and reading poetry. I didn't even know Nietzsche wrote poetry until I came across it this morning. I only ever knew of him as a philosopher, so I was surprised by how much I liked his poetry.

O Mensch! Gib acht!
Was spricht die tiefe Mitternacht?
"Ich schlief, ich schief -,
Aus tiefem Traum bin ich erwacht: -
Die Welt ist tief,
Und tiefer als der Tag erdacht.

Tief ist ihr Weh -,
Lust - tiefer noch als Herzeleid:
Weh spicht: Vergeh!
Doch alle Lust will Ewigkeit -,
- will tiefe, tiefe Ewigkeit!"

It's nice to read.
