Wagner shits in our mouth and calls it a sundae—and we believe him

"A typical decadent, who feels himself necessary with his corrupt taste, who claims that it is a higher taste, who knows how to make his depravity be regarded as a law, as a progress, as fulfillment. And nobody defends himself. Wagner's power of seduction becomes prodigious, the smoke of incense steams around him, the misunderstanding about him calls itself 'Gospel'—it is by no means the poor in spirit exclusively whom he has convinced. I should like to open the windows a little. Air! More air!——" (The Case of Wagner; 17)
