Iced Earth - Waterloo

It is unlikely that Wagner even for a moment allowed in reality a similar development of his own feelings for Matilda Vesendonk. The very solution to their conflict on both sides suggests this. With his drama, Wagner renounced his individual life in front of the unity of grandiose philosophical universal categories and was freed! Really freed from the ubiquitous ghost of Matilda Vesendonk. From now on, he could boldly meet with her, look into the eyes of her and her husband, live on. Having completed the alchemical transmutation of his feelings into a work of art, Wagner was resurrected for further creativity and new love.
