Nietzsche and eternity

Abstract

The poem belongs, by its spirit, to the type of writings that make up
Zarathustra. The phrase with which it closes, "For I love thee, O eternity!", is the same one we find in the piece located at the end of the Third Part of Zarathustra's poem, entitled, "The Seven Seals" (Or "the song of the "Yes" and the Amen"), repeated at the end of each of the seven units that make up the piece. These texts occupy a fundamental place in the work, because at first they were taken by Nietzsche as its conclusion. The central idea of all these writings is the same, the thought of the eternal return of the same, thought that we can also call, of eternity, or of eternity united to necessity.
