Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book for All and None — Page 10
In regard to his first conception of this idea, his autobiographical sketch, "Ecce Homo", written in the autumn of 1888, contains the following passage:—
이 생각을 처음으로 구상한 것에 관하여, 1888년 가을에 쓴 그의 자서전적 소묘 『에케 호모』에는 다음과 같은 구절이 담겨 있다.
"The fundamental idea of my work—namely, the Eternal Recurrence of all things—this highest of all possible formulae of a Yea-saying philosophy, first occurred to me in August 1881.
「나의 작업의 근본적인 사상—즉, 만물의 영원한 회귀—이것은 긍정의 철학이 가질 수 있는 모든 가능한 공식들 중 가장 높은 것으로, 1881년 8월에 처음으로 나에게 떠올랐다.
I made a note of the thought on a sheet of paper, with the postscript: 6,000 feet beyond men and time!
나는 그 생각을 한 장의 종이에 메모해 두었는데, 추신으로 이렇게 적었다: 인간과 시간을 6,000피트 넘어선 곳에서!
That day I happened to be wandering through the woods alongside of the lake of Silvaplana, and I halted beside a huge, pyramidal and towering rock not far from Surlei.
그날 나는 마침 실바플라나 호숫가를 따라 숲 속을 거닐고 있었는데, 줄라이에서 멀지 않은 곳에 있는 거대하고 피라미드 모양으로 우뚝 솟은 바위 곁에서 걸음을 멈추었다.
It was then that the thought struck me.
바로 그때 그 생각이 나를 강타했다.
Looking back now, I find that exactly two months previous to this inspiration, I had had an omen of its coming in the form of a sudden and decisive alteration in my tastes—more particularly in music.
지금 돌이켜 보면, 이 영감을 받기 정확히 두 달 전에, 나의 취향—특히 음악에 대한 취향—에 갑작스럽고 결정적인 변화가 일어나는 형태로 그것이 올 징조가 있었음을 알게 된다.
It would even be possible to consider all 'Zarathustra' as a musical composition.
심지어 『차라투스트라』 전체를 하나의 음악적 작곡으로 간주하는 것도 가능할 것이다.
At all events, a very necessary condition in its production was a renaissance in myself of the art of hearing.
어쨌든, 그것을 만들어 내는 데 있어 매우 필요한 조건은 나 자신 안에서 듣는 예술이 부활하는 것이었다.
In a small mountain resort (Recoaro) near Vicenza, where I spent the spring of 1881, I and my friend and Maestro, Peter Gast—also one who had been born again—discovered that the phoenix music that hovered over us, wore lighter and brighter plumes than it had done theretofore.
1881년 봄을 보낸 비첸차 근처의 작은 산악 휴양지(레코아로)에서, 나와 나의 친구이자 마에스트로인 페터 가스트—그 역시 거듭난 사람이었다—는 우리 위를 맴돌던 불사조의 음악이 이전보다 더 가볍고 밝은 깃털을 달고 있음을 발견했다.
