Wagner Phrasis Recited

WAGNER PHRASIS Enchained by fancy petty wants and necessity,undisguished sensuousness burning with fiery passion kindles the most consuming flame,my peace of mind was over.Driven to despair, idle & disorderly,levity wounded me deeply,tortured,no semblance of reality,puritanical hypocrisy ordinary & mediocre ,savagery of taste,adverse outward circumstance, all shadows on the scene.Confused I remained silent ,my error was plain. Through this trouble, hope a sense of beauty,a new earnestness to really know love, natural & unforced.Beginning anew,my last reliance,vivacious & exciting a state of fermentation, oh what bliss,my goal was reached.Ah what a delight it was.I stood amazed,its place in my heart, the secret of art,free & unconcealed. From Wagner autobio of 1840 Listen to me recite my phrasis on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro
