21The principle: “love thy neighbour” is a hypocrisy. “Knowthyself” is utopian but more acceptable, for it embraceswickedness. No pity. After the carnage we still retain thehope of a purified mankind. I speak only of myself sinceI do not wish to convince, I have no right to drag othersinto my river, I oblige no one to follow me and everybodypractices his art in his own way, if be knows the joy thatrises like arrows to the astral layers, or that other joy thatgoes down into the mines of corpse- flowers and fertilespasms.‘‘love thy neighypocrisyhbour’’
