An der Brücke stand
jüngst ich in brauner Nacht.
Fernher kam Gesang:
goldener Tropfen quoll’s
über die zitternde Fläche weg.
Gondeln, Lichter, Musik —
trunken schwamm’s in die Dämmrung hinaus …

Meine Seele, ein Saitenspiel,
sang sich, unsichtbar berührt,
heimlich ein Gondellied dazu,
zitternd vor bunter Seligkeit.
— Hörte Jemand ihr zu? …

"For, even if I should be a bad German, I am at all events a very good European."
- Nietzsche to his mother; Aug. 17, 1886
A beautiful illustrated book about Nietzsche's work sites, landscapes and residences is #KrellBates1997#Nietzsche#Europe#NietzscheInItaly (cf. 179 sq.)
This beautiful #bookshop in #Venice has unfortunately become a victim of its own success. A social media hype leads to total overcrowding by tourists who only want to take photos of the interior without being interested in buying books.
