Rand's Blasphemy...

Ayn Rand in her foreword to "The Fountain Head"
says,
"In all fundamentals ... Objectivism not only differs from Nietzsche but is his opposite. Therefore, I don't want to be confused with Nietzsche in any respect."
When i read this it was evident to me that Rand was
inflenced by Nietzsche, but for some reason didn't want
to acknowledge it.
Today when i was reading "The twilight of the Idols", by Friedrich Nietzsche
this influence of her which she wasn't ready to acknowledge publicly became
more than obvious to me.
For Instance,
Nietzsche, when speaking about the meaning of the two Antithetical concepts
describes the Apollinian and Dionysian states of mind.
He classifies the great painters , sculptors and epic poets as Apollinian visionaries
who's intoxication provokes them to see the reflection of their perfection
in the art they create ( Ah....!such great insights ..! ).
Where as, "in the Dionysian state the entire emotional system is intensified,
so that it discharges all its powers of representation, imitation ,
transfiguration, transmutaion, every kind of mimicry and play conjointly."
So the actor, the mime, the dancer and the musicians are Dionsyian by nature.
While, presenting this dichotomy he acknowledges the "Architect"
In his words,
"The architect represents niether the Dionysian nor the Apollian condition:
here it is the mighty act of will which moves mountains, the intoxication of the
strong will, which demands artisctic expression. The most powerful men
have always inspired the architects; the architect has always been influenced
by power.Pirde, victory over weight and gravity, the will to power,
seek to render themselves visible in a building......"

Now, for those of you who have read "The Fountain Head", i need'nt say anything
more about the obvious plagiarism of Rand. I call it plagiarism, wiht due respect
to her mastery in writing, because she failed to acknowledge her true inspiration.
For, what did she write about ? Architecture
what were her main characters ? Architects
and What was roark ? If not a Nietzschian
idea of a ture artist.

But, there it stands the master piece of all times with
out any reference to its master.
