Thus Spake Zarathustra: A Book for All and None — Page 13
My health was not very good; the winter was cold and exceptionally rainy; and the small inn in which I lived was so close to the water that at night my sleep would be disturbed if the sea were high.
나의 건강은 그다지 좋지 않았고, 겨울은 춥고 유난히 비가 많이 내렸으며, 내가 머물던 작은 여관은 바다와 너무 가까워서 밤에 파도가 높으면 잠을 이루기 어려웠다.
These circumstances were surely the very reverse of favourable; and yet in spite of it all, and as if in demonstration of my belief that everything decisive comes to life in spite of every obstacle, it was precisely during this winter and in the midst of these unfavourable circumstances that my 'Zarathustra' originated.
이러한 상황들은 분명 결코 유리하다고 할 수 없는 것들이었다. 그럼에도 불구하고, 마치 모든 결정적인 것은 온갖 장애에도 불구하고 탄생한다는 나의 믿음을 입증이라도 하듯, 바로 이 겨울, 이 불리한 상황들 한가운데서 나의 『차라투스트라』가 탄생하였다.
In the morning I used to start out in a southerly direction up the glorious road to Zoagli, which rises aloft through a forest of pines and gives one a view far out into the sea.
아침이면 나는 남쪽 방향으로 조아글리로 향하는 장려한 길을 따라 나섰는데, 그 길은 소나무 숲을 통과하며 높이 올라가 저 멀리 바다까지 내다볼 수 있는 전망을 선사해 주었다.
In the afternoon, as often as my health permitted, I walked round the whole bay from Santa Margherita to beyond Porto Fino.
오후에는 건강이 허락하는 한 자주, 산타 마르게리타에서 포르토피노 너머까지 만 전체를 걸어서 돌았다.
This spot was all the more interesting to me, inasmuch as it was so dearly loved by the Emperor Frederick III.
이 장소는 프리드리히 3세 황제가 각별히 사랑했던 곳인 만큼, 나에게도 한층 더 흥미롭게 느껴졌다.
In the autumn of 1886 I chanced to be there again when he was revisiting this small, forgotten world of happiness for the last time.
1886년 가을, 나는 우연히 그곳에 다시 머물게 되었는데, 마침 그도 이 작고 잊혀진 행복의 세계를 마지막으로 다시 찾고 있었다.
It was on these two roads that all 'Zarathustra' came to me, above all Zarathustra himself as a type;—I ought rather to say that it was on these walks that these ideas waylaid me.
바로 이 두 길 위에서 『차라투스트라』의 모든 것이 나에게 찾아왔으며, 무엇보다도 유형으로서의 차라투스트라 자신이 그러하였다. 오히려 이 산책들 위에서 이 사상들이 나를 불시에 덮쳤다고 말하는 편이 더 적절할 것이다.
