In mythology the significance of the dragon is many fold, but his origin is simple. The serpent, with wings. Something grave and bitting, and at the same time free and up lifting. In Nietzsche's own way of using the symbol it is on the dragon's 1000 scales that 'thou shalt' is written. No doubt that for me today Nietzsche is a dragon, it is his writing that is guiding my, that speaks 'thou shalt' to me, and it is he who I shall some day have to turn against. Truly a worth enemy, one fierce enough to make me, the camel, take on much weight, knowing that the lion's battle will be fierce, and that much preparation will be needed.
For now, his poetry has so much power over me, how can I imagine turning against him?
