'''Tragedy''' (fr. Greek τραγῳδία, ''tragōidia'', "goat-song") is a form of [[The arts|art]] based on human [[suffering]] that offers its [[audience]] [[pleasure]]. In his speculative work on the origins of Athenean tragedy, ''The Birth of Tragedy'' (1872), Nietzsche writes of this "two-fold mood": "the strange mixture and [[duality]] in the affects of the Dionysiac enthusiasts, that [[phenomenon]] whereby pain awakens pleasure while rejoicing wrings cries of agony from the breast. From highest joy there comes a cry of horror or a yearning lament at some irredeemable loss. In those Greek festivals there erupts what one might call a sentimental tendency in [[nature]], as if it had cause to sigh over its dismemberment into [[individual]]s"
