My best friend is German, and she has often commented on the unusual identification of the sun as being feminine and the moon as masculine. She agrees with your idea that in this situation the sun should not be thought of as an “it”. I also imagined the sun as feminine as a child, and I remember being puzzled when people told me it was the other way around. Thank you for your thoughts, Michael, and best wishes for your thesis presentation!
Great commentary as always Michael! Good luck on the thesis!

What exactly are you throwing your intellectual dignity away for here? Do you (or Nietzsche) claim to have any experience of "eternal return"?
