RETURN HOMEWARD 269

I called them searchers and examiners. Thus I learned to exchange words.

The grave-diggers get sicknesses by digging. Under old rubbish there rest bad odours. One must not stir up the swamp. One must live on mountains.

With blessed nostrils I breathe again mountain-free- dom. Saved, at last, is my nose from the odour of all human kind !

Tickled by sharp breezes, as it were by sparkling wines, my soul sneezeth. It sneezeth and in triumph crieth : ' God bless me ! ' '

Thus spake Zarathustra.
