18.
This crown of the laughter, this rose-garland crown: I myself have put on this
crown, I myself have consecrated my laughter. No one else have I found to-day
potent enough for this.
Zarathustra the dancer, Zarathustra the light one, who beckoneth with his
pinions, one ready for flight, beckoning unto all birds, ready and prepared, a
blissfully light-spirited one:-
Zarathustra the soothsayer, Zarathustra the sooth-laugher, no impatient one, no
absolute one, one who loveth leaps and side-leaps; I myself have put on this
crown!
