>Behold, the tarantula's den! Would'st thou see the tarantula itself? Here hangeth its web: touch it, so that it may tremble.
>Here cometh the tarantula: Welcome! Black on thy back is thy triangle and symbol; and I know also what is in thy soul.
>Thus do I speak unto you in parable, ye who make the soul giddy, ye preacher of equality! Tarantulas are ye unto me, and secretly revengeful ones!
>Therefore do I tear at your web, that your rage may lure you out of your den of lies, and that revenge may leap forth from behind your word 'justice'.
>Ye preachers of equality, the tyrant-frenzy of impotence crieth thus in you for it: your most secret tyrant-longings disguise themselves thus in words of virtue.
>They are people of bad race and lineage; out of their countenances peer the hangman and the sleuth-hound.
>Thus do I counsel you, my friends: distrust all in whom the impulse to punish is powerful; distrust all those who talk of their justice. Verily, in their souls not only honey is lacking.
