"Of the Tarantulas," from Thus Spake Zarathustra by Frederich Nietzsche.

OF THE TARANTULAS

"Look, there is a tarantulas hole! Do you want to see her in person? Here hangs it's web: touch it so that it trembles.

Now she comes willingly: Welcome, tarantula! Your triangle and symbol sit black upon your back; and I know too what sits within your soul.

Revenge sits within your soul: wherever you bite, black scabs grow; your poison makes the soul giddy with revenge.

Thus do I speak to you in parables, you who make the soul giddy, You preachers of equality, You are tarantulas and dealers in hidden revengefulness ! But I will soon bring your hiding places to light: therefore I laugh my laughter of the heights in your faces.

I pull at your web that your rage may lure from your cave of lies and your revenge may bound forward from behind your word 'justice'.

So that man may be freed from the bonds of revenge: that is the bridge to my highest hope and a rainbow after protracted storms.

The Tarantulas of course, want it otherwise. "What 'justice' means to us is precisely that the world be filled with the storms of our revenge"--thus they speak to each other. "We shall wreak vengeance and abuse on all whose equals we are not"(No Justice, No Peace!) Thus do the tarantulas chant -" 'will to equality' shall henceforth be the name for virtue, and against all that has power we want to raise our clamor!"

You Preachers of equality, the tyranomania(tyranobamania) of impotence cries for 'equality': your most secret ambitions to be tyrants thus shroud themselves in words of virtue. Your soured self-conciet, repressed envy....."-Thus Spoke Zarathustra By Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
