[ Post a Response | The Nietzsche Channel Message Board ]
Posted by zoe on 1/4/2007, 3:38 am, in reply to "Re: Talking" "Nietzsche endured periods of illness during his adult life. In 1889, after the completion of Ecce Homo, his health rapidly declined until he collapsed. At that moment, he is said to have tearfully embraced a horse in Turin because it had been beaten by its owner. He was taken back to his room and spent several days in a state of ecstasy writing letters to various friends, signing them Dionysus. He gradually became less coherent and almost entirely uncommunicative. His friend Peter Gast observed that he retained the ability to improvise beautifully on the piano for some months after his breakdown, but this too eventually left him." Hope it helps a bit! --Previous Message--

I was very curious as to why this was too. I can honestly say I know nothing of Friederich Nietzsche, but I did do some research. I realize this doesn't exactly answer the question, but maybe you'll get something out of it yourself.
This is what I found.
