Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What Does Richard Wagner: Relate Concerning the Origin of His Nibelungen Poem "I was 36 years old, before I divined the exact substance 1 of my artistic impulse; up till then Art counted for me as the aim, and Life as the means. But the discovery came, of course, too late, and only tragic experiences could answer to my new bent in life. One glance into the world of the present shows us that Love is at present quite impossible; one of my friends, for instance, could certainly call out to the Germans: ´You do not understand Love at all: for how can men want to love, who possess no initiative of character? That is quite impossible´. If it mean therefore, to try to save oneself by some makeshift, I can, in that case, find no better one than the frankest insight into the conditioned order of things, the open avowal of truth, even though there be no other profit to be derived from it for oneself but the pride of perception, and finally the will and the endeavour to show Mankind, by the disclosure of this perception, the means for its redemption. In this way, certainly, we turn to the whole of Humanity, but only just as a makeshift, because we perceive that the Individual cannot be happy by himself, as only when all men are happy, can he feel content. You sec, that by saying this, I quite take your point of view, only I look upon this point of view, not as the end, but only as a means, as a way to my goal; this goal however, will not be understood yet by the majority; it is: Love being rendered possible as the fullest perception of Reality: - Truth; not however, the reasoned, abstracted, non-sensual (for us at present the only possible) Love, but the Love of the ´I´ and ´You´.
