OF THE BITE OF THE ADDER 93

Lastly, my brethren, beware of doing wrong unto any hermit ! How could a hermit forget ? How could he retaliate?

Like a deep well is a hermit. It is easy to throw a stone into it. But when it hath sunk unto the bottom who will get it out again ?

Beware of offending a hermit. But, if ye do, well, kill him also ! "

Thus spake Zarathustra.
