The Tiny Seed Opened

The Tiny Seed Opened Deep the ponderous silent beginning Rumbled its struggle to And break open once upon its lilting And thought It lifted high some resounding Gathered itself by pulse climactic Loosening The swollen burst of its making And deeper driven the slow light emancipating Rising glory The exulted splendour Forth rushing spreads encompassing In the eternal reaches The heart beats deliverance Sings joyous cries With life eyes “I am here ! “I have arrived ! The impassioned apex of praise Fortissimo to the pinnacle creation The tiny seed Opened Inspired by Also Sprach Zarathustra, Op. 30 ( Eng Thus Spake Zarathustra) is a tone poem by, Richard Strauss composed in 1896 and inspired by Friedrich Nietzsche philosophical treatise of the same name.
