O my soul, I gave thee the right to say Nay like the storm, and to say Yea as the open heaven saith Yea: calm as the light remainest thou, and now walkest through denying storms.
The soul may deny like a storm and affirm like open heaven, and it remains calm as light while it passes through denying storms.
- Affirmation (Yea-saying, amor fati)The Yea is calm and open as the sky, and it goes together with a denying that is strong.
