Zarathustra's voice also resounded in such a manner that his animals came to him frightened, and out of all the neighbouring caves and lurking-places all the creatures slipped away flying, fluttering, creeping or leaping, according to their variety of foot or wing.

I have spoken my word. I break down by my word: so willeth mine eternal fate as announcer do I succumb! The hour hath now come for the down-goer to bless himself. Thus ENDETH Zarathustra's down-going."
