   --   
   What if a demon were to creep after you one night, in your   
   loneliest loneliness, and say, 'This life which you live must   
   be lived by you once again and innumerable times more; and   
   every pain and joy and thought and sigh must come again to   
   you, all in the same sequence. The eternal hourglass will   
   again and again be turned and you with it, dust of the dust!'   
   Would you throw yourself down and gnash your teeth and curse   
   that demon? Or would you answer, 'Never have I heard anything   
   more divine'?
