With these two eyes

Nietzsche again (Daybreak, 483): ” Weariness of mankind, —A: Know thou! Yes! But always in the human form! How? Am I always to watch the same comedy, act in the same comedy, without ever being able to see the things with other eyes than these? And yet there may bo innumerable species of beings whose organs are better fitted for knowledge than ours. What will mankind have come to discern at the end of all their discernment?—their organs! Which means, perhaps, the impossibility of knowledge! Misery and disgust!—B: This is a severe attack—reason is attacking you! But to-morrow you will again be in the midst of knowledge and, at the same time, of irrationality; I mean, of the delight in things human. Let us up and go to the sea!”
