Fact: your favorite novelist wrote prose because he sucked too much to write poetry.

>Nietzsche should have been a poet.

Nietzsche *was* a poet. Just because he was the greatest philosopher ever to draw breath doesn't mean that's all he was.

Nietzsche was a philosopher, a poet, a man of letters, a professor, a pianist, a composer, an essayist, a raconteur, a linguist, a mountaineer, a gourmet, an inventor, a cyclist, an explorer, an animal-rights activist, a first-class amateur boxer, an Olympic-standard fencer, a diplomat, a ladykiller and an International Man of Mystery whose role in clandestine late-19th-century German geoplitics is only now beginning to be recognized.
