Nietzsche and Art Lecture I[1] Part I Anarchy in Modern Art "Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the earth."--_Genesis_ xi. 9. "Concerning great things," said Nietzsche, "one should either be silent, or one should speak loftily:--loftily, that is to say, cynically and innocently."[2] Art is a great thing. Maybe it is the greatest thing on earth. Wherever and whenever Nietzsche speaks about it he always does so loftily, and with reverence; while his position as an anchorite, and as an artist who kept aloof from the traffic for fame, allowed him to retain that innocence in his point of view, which he maintains is so necessary in the treatment of such a subject.
