Then one, dear friend, was swiftly changed to twain,

And Zarathustra left my teeming brain....

A DANCING SONG TO THE MISTRAL
WIND.[[17]]

Wildly rushing, clouds outleaping,

Care-destroying, Heaven sweeping,

Mistral wind, thou art my friend!

Surely 'twas one fate did pair us,

Fellows for a common end.

From the crags I gaily greet you,
