Excerpt from The Flying Dutchman: Romantic Opera in Three Acts
Wagner is by no means an innovator in his endeavour to make music and sweet poetry agree and this endeavour, on his part, was simply the result of study, and grew to conviction with his artistic development. His poetical capacity is not shown to us full born nor did his musical genius burst forth full fledged like Athene from the head of Zeus.
