Wagner's music had exercised its enchantment upon him to the end. A strange, unfathomable seduction lurked in it. It was the musical apotheosis of love. It painted in ravishing colors the mission of humanity. Heard in the " storm-and-stress " period of hu- manity it surges upon its victim like a raging fire. It seized upon the King in its voluptuous, THE BAYBEUTH OF WAONEB. 49 emotional magic. Ludwig could understand, but would not realize, the poetry of " Tristan and Isolde." " So let us here ...together blend, Living, loving, without end. No awaking, No forsaking, To each other mated, Forever consecrated." m. The Nibelung Theatre was at last completed, and the first performances of " The Eing of the Nibelung " were given. That was the summer of 1876, when I had the pleasure of seeing much of the poet-composer and learning a great deal about his life and his methods of work. From sketches made at the time I may be permitted to make a few extracts. Wagner was then over sixty years of age, and though far from being majestic in per- sonal appearance, I always felt with him that I was in the presence of an extraordinary man.
