In the midst of my delight of gazing on it, it had transferred itself mysteriously to my own heart, and there became a circle of fire, which gradually ate its way until the whole writhing organ was in a torturous blaze. That spot, seen again in an after-vision, through the memory of its former pain instantly wrought out for me the same accursed result.

…the end the Star was seen , in other words it was through the intimate knowledge of the lewd , bad and vicious , that the tender weeping heart was discovered ; the rough matrix contained a gem of surpassing beauty , the horny shell a pearl of perfect loveliness .

The incessant search after Truth carries us through desert lands of misery , and oases of temptation , as is only too vividly illustrated in Tannhä…

There is help and hope in other spells. Wisdom says : be strong ! Then canst thou bear more joy. Be not animal ; refine thy rapture !

Third, in his speech stood tokens of this will, so pitiful and pure he spake, nor ever from him brake woe-wingèd words, nor slaver of the snake. Fourth, in each noble act of life he taught crystalline vigour of thought, so in each deed he was aright ; well-wrought all the man’s work ; and fifth, this hero strife grew one with his whole life, so harmonized to …

… Yet will they not unite ? for the blending of Virtue and Vice means the loss of some supposed comfort , and comfort is the God of man's heart , the Vampire which sucks its life from his shrivelling soul . In laughter alone we shall never solve the riddle of life , only in the mingling of our smiles with our sobs shall we realize the kiss of God on our brow . Yet the dangers are terrible . How many of us can listen to the voice of Circe without becoming swine ? and in the full melancholy of so vast a contemplation , the poet sings :
