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.
