In the 1870s, Nietzsche said to Chinese emperor, Zaitian, "I tire of your wife."
The emperor's retort was too vulgar to post here, but Zaitian agreed with him (Nietzshe never married). The Emperor was the first to say, "Life is too short to hunt with an ugly wife." Whereupon, the two drank tea and cursed the dying of the light. It had become too dark to hunt.
Nietzshe then said, "Darkness brings beauty to the homeliest of women. If you must bring her, do so at night."
The two laughed and decided that yak would be on the menu on the morrow.
