Excerpt from In English Verse: From the German of Richard Wagner The days of Wagner-introductions are (or Should be) over, and I would further merely call attention to a point frequently missed by those who have not yet witnessed a stage-performance of Parsifal. Kundry, it should be borne in mind, is a creature of two existences, one of subjection to Klingsor and one of voluntary service to the Grail, and sleeping and waking are the doors by which she passes from one state to the other. The version here presented is not intended to be taken in strict and continuous (syllable-for-note) company with the music, and I have not considered it necessary to print the numerous alternative readings which would be requisite for such a purpose. The text used is that of the First Edition, 1877. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
