Letters of Franz Liszt -- Volume 2 / from Rome to the End

by Franz Liszt

My admiration remains unlimited for the sublime genius of Wagner.

What blissful creative power and influence has he not, ever active from "Tannhauser" to the "Ring des Nibelungen" and the marvellous "Parsifal."—

The Art of our century finds its foundation and glory therein.

The little that I have written in letters about Wagner is at the service of the public.

With highest esteem yours most truly,

F. Liszt

Weimar, June 18th, 1884
