For Me Wagner Is Impossible... He Talks Without Ever Stopping. One Can't Just Talk All The Time.

Send Light To The Dark Hearts Of Men, That Is The Duty The Artist.

The Flame That Is Naturally Clear Always Gives The Most Light And Heat. If I Could Blend My Talent For Poetry And Music Into One, The Light Would Burn Still Clearer, And I Might Go Far.
