A deep understanding, an insight into the horrific truth, is what counterweights every motive for action for both fox and the Dionysian man. No consolidation of order will be of any use from here on in: longing passes out of the world towards death, beyond the gods or expressed in the thought of an immortal “Beyond”, is denied. Suddenly conscious of the truth from a brief glimpse of it, all fox sees is the horror and absurdity of his existence. Here, with the will in supreme danger, there comes a redeeming, healing enchantress - art. It is she alone that is capable of transforming all these feelings of revulsion at the horror and absurdity of existence into ideas which are compatible with the

continuation of life.

–NIETZSCHE
