Chapter 23

When you hear of a ship going down at sea do you say: That is the conclusion?When you see one man do a mean thing to another man do you say: That is the conclusion?When you see systems substituted for souls do you say: That is the conclusion?I love the people: I never see the enemy of the people as the conclusion:There is something more to come: after the shadow light is to come:When you fall down, when you are only half a man, I say there is something more to come:Why, dear comrade—after half a man a whole man is to come: out of you, too, is to come:For the conclusion of a man is only in the perfection of a man: nothing else is a conclusion:For the conclusion of sex is only in the perfection of sex: nothing else is a conclusion:And you may be sure that after all the black has come that can come white will follow:And you may be sure that after all the journeys down hill you will find your way to the crest again.

When you hear of a ship going down at sea do you say: That is the conclusion?

When you see one man do a mean thing to another man do you say: That is the conclusion?

When you see systems substituted for souls do you say: That is the conclusion?

I love the people: I never see the enemy of the people as the conclusion:

There is something more to come: after the shadow light is to come:

When you fall down, when you are only half a man, I say there is something more to come:

Why, dear comrade—after half a man a whole man is to come: out of you, too, is to come:

For the conclusion of a man is only in the perfection of a man: nothing else is a conclusion:

For the conclusion of sex is only in the perfection of sex: nothing else is a conclusion:

And you may be sure that after all the black has come that can come white will follow:

And you may be sure that after all the journeys down hill you will find your way to the crest again.
