Nietzsche's dash or rope spans the abyss of unmeaning, from top to top of seemingly unrelated mountains of meaning. The artist, trapeze artists, acrobat, Künstler walks this tightrope, this dash, spanning tops of mountains of meaning.
The Alps are sublime. Cameo by Germanwings.
In the mountains the shortest way is from peak to peak, but for that route thou must have long legs. Proverbs should be peaks, and those spoken to should be big and tall.
Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman--a rope over an abyss.
That this rope translates typographically to the dash, and that the proverbs are the peaks --
