《查拉图斯特拉如是说·第四部》第33节
To myself have ye given this power,—a good gift, mine honourable guests! An excellent guest’s-present! Well, do not then upbraid when I also offer you something of mine. This is mine empire and my dominion: that which is mine, however, shall this evening and to-night be yours. Mine animals shall serve you: let my cave be your resting-place! At house and home with me shall no one despair: in my purlieus do I protect every one from his wild beasts. And that is the first thing which I offer you: security! The second thing, however, is my little finger. And when ye have THAT, then take the whole hand also, yea, and the heart with it! Welcome here, welcome to you, my guests!” Thus spake Zarathustra, and laughed with love and mischief. After this greeting his guests bowed once more and were reverentially silent; the king on the right, however, answered him in their name. “O Zarathustra, by the way in which thou hast given us thy hand and thy greeting, we recognise thee as Zarathustra.

An entire landscape refresheth itself at one such tree. To the pine do I compare him, O Zarathustra, which groweth up like thee—tall, silent, hardy, solitary, of the best, supplest wood, stately,— —In the end, however, grasping out for ITS dominion with strong, green branches, asking weighty questions of the wind, the storm, and whatever is at home on high places; —Answering more weightily, a commander, a victor! Oh! who should not ascend high mountains to behold such growths? At thy tree, O Zarathustra, the gloomy and ill-constituted also refresh themselves; at thy look even the wavering become steady and heal their hearts. And verily, towards thy mountain and thy tree do many eyes turn to-day; a great longing hath arisen, and many have learned to ask: ‘Who is Zarathustra?’ And those into whose ears thou hast at any time dripped thy song and thy honey: all the hidden ones, the lone-dwellers and the twain-dwellers, have simultaneously said to their hearts:

这里查拉图斯特拉结束了他在山间一整天的奔波与寻觅，终于回到自己的洞穴。他一路遇见了两位国王、老魔法师、老教皇、自愿的乞丐、影子、精神上最认真的人、丑陋的人，以及预告大厌倦的预言家。此刻他发现这些人都已经聚集在他的洞穴里，而从那洞穴中曾经传出的那一声悠长的、由许多声音混合而成的痛苦呼号，正是这些“高贵客人们”共同的呼声。査拉图斯特拉立刻辨认出：他所寻找的“更…
