Why? What’s the point? Nietzsche wrote in the late 1800. What’s with the Jacobean English? Nobody wrote English like that at the time of Nietzsche. Why are you going out of your way to quote Nietzsche in such archaic speech? God I hate how pretentious this board can be.

Tell me straight up: did you change the translation to be more archaic, on your own

The English translator believed that, since Nietzsche wrote the original in archaic Lutheran German, his rendition should follow the English of the King James Bible, thereby achieving some level of correspondence between the two languages.
