Example text
Quién podría sospechar en ellos el acaecimiento de esta embarazosa carrera de antorchas que es la historia monumental y que sólo 31 FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE permite que perdure lo grande? Y, sin embargo, cada tanto despiertan algunos que, contemplando la grandeza del pasado, se sienten tan animados que la vida humana se les presenta como algo maravilloso y el fruto más bello de esa planta amarga les parece ser la conciencia de que otros han transitado la vida con orgullo y furor, otros con profundidad en sus sentidos y otros con respeto y veneración ante las tradiciones, dejando todos la misma enseñanza de que vive mejor aquel que desdeña la existencia.
Es entonces que se presencia el repugnante espectáculo de una ciega voracidad recolectora, de una infatigable recopilación de todo los vestigios del pasado. El hombre se envuelve de un perfume putrefacto e incluso llega a aplacar sus dones superiores y sus aspiraciones más nobles a causa de su manía anticuaria, su insaciable curiosidad, su verdadera avidez de lo antiguo y su mezquindad. Muchas veces, desciende hasta tal grado que se da por satisfecho con cualquier plato y con júbilo se dispone a ingerir hasta el mismo polvo de las quisquillas bibliográficas.
Es así como soslaya, mediante ese “somos”, la perecedera y singular existencia individual, comprendiéndose a sí mismo como el espíritu de su casa, de su linaje o de su ciudad. Esto lo conduce en ocasiones a saludar, traspasando siglos remotos, oscuros y perturbadores, el espíritu de su pueblo como si fuera el propio. La 41 FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE sensibilidad para lo remoto, la capacidad de la previsión y de rastrear hasta las huellas más desvaídas, la instintiva interpretación correcta del pasado más glorificado, la inmediata comprensión de los palimpsestos o, más aun, de los polipsestos: he aquí sus dones y virtudes.
