Pissing Razors - Fall Away

Meanwhile, on June 6, Hans von Bülow submitted to Ludwig II a letter of resignation from the post of royal bandmaster. Remaining in Bavaria, we would have to dodge further, observe the appearance of decency and endlessly lie to the public, who knows the truth perfectly, despite all efforts to conceal it. Hans was torn between the duty of serving high art (Wagnerian art) and his feelings, which, it seemed, no one was going to reckon with. In addition, after a frank explanation with Cosima and her departure for Wagner, the abandoned spouse decided that it would be better for him to leave places that evoked painful memories of his shame and betrayal of his closest people. The king coldly accepted his resignation.
