'Heraclitean flow':

It certainly arouses feelings of the sublime, hence the poetic luster of the imagery. The real horror and foundations of terror come up elsewhere, namely in Nietzsche's sketch called "European Nihilism," dated June 10, 1887, which provides essential groundwork for his planned 'Will to Power,' "European Nihilism" depicts true horror in the face of nature, pointing up the overwhelming injustice and ruthlessness inherent in it. Nature produces the weak and the strong, the advantaged and disadvantaged. There is no benevolent providence and no equitable distribution of chances to get ahead in life. Before this backdrop, morality can be defined as an attempt to even out the "injustice" of nature and create counterbalances. The power of natural destinies needs to be broken. ~ Page 295
