Wagner's Letters

Richard Wagner to Mathilde Wesendonck

Undated · Zurich

Letter

I have not had the best of sleep, and was just hesitating 1 8 WAGNER TO MATHILDE WESENDONCK whether I should come to-day, in spite of Vischer and ice. Now, however, I think of looking in for half an hour. I have much on my heart — yet everything, again, is but the one thing without which poorest I should have no footing more upon this earth. That one thing ! A thousand greetings.
