[945W-{10/15/78}Letter to King Ludwig II of Bavaria: SLRW, p. 885]

[P. 885] {FEUER} “But this in turn leads to the Good Friday meadow, -- and I shall be happy to linger there. Here, my uniquely beloved prince, my protector and friend whose radiance illumines me with ever – and ever – greater splendour, here you have the true import of my life.” [945W-{10/15/78}Letter to King Ludwig II of Bavaria: SLRW, p. 885]

 

[946W-{10/20/78}CD Vol. II, p. 176]

[P. 176] {anti-FEUER} “ ‘Christ and the Gospels will live forever,’ R. says, but with the founding of the church and the interpolations in the Gospels everything was spoiled, for the first Christians saw the second coming of Christ as an abolition of the world, an end to earthly existence.’ “[946W-{10/20/78}CD Vol. II, p. 176]

 

[947W-{10/20/78}CD Vol. II, p. 177]

[P. 177] {FEUER?} “… Wolzogen, whose article , ‘The Stage Dedication Play,’ pleases R. very much, though he remarks to me that W. goes too far in calling Parsifal a reflection of the Redeemer: ‘I didn’t give the Redeemer a thought when I wrote it.’ “ [947W-{10/20/78}CD Vol. II, p. 177]

 

[948W-{11/3/78}CD Vol. II, p. 188]

[P. 188] {FEUER} “… at breakfast continuation of the conversation about the chapter in Lecky; we decide that the excesses to which the insistence on chastity led constituted a terrible feature; they were due to the impossibility of realizing something felt to lie deep within the human character, the desire to set oneself outside nature and yet to go on living.” [948W-{11/3/78}CD Vol. II, p. 188]

 

[949W-{11/5/78}CD Vol. II, p. 190]

[P. 190] {FEUER} “When the children have gone he discusses the similarity between the presentworld situation and the fall of the Roman Empire, when national virtues also ceased to flourish, Christianity having torn down the national barriers; now the Jews are completing this work. ‘At best,’ says R., ‘I anticipate a return to a kind of state of Nature, for the Jews will also meet their doom’ “[949W-{11/5/78}CD Vol. II, p. 190]

 

[950W-{11/27/78}CD Vol. II, p. 211-212]

[P. 211] {FEUER} {SCHOP} “Coming back to Dis(raeli), he says, ‘What we read yesterday interested me far less than that single conversation,’ then he gets heated about the assumption that Jesus was Jew; it has not been proved, he says, and Jesus spoke Syriac-Chaldaean: ‘Not until all churches have vanished will we find the Redeemer, from whom we are separated by Judaism. But his ideas are not easy to grasp; God as the [P. 212] ending of the universe – that does not allow for a cult, though perhaps monasteries, in which people of similar beliefs could find a refuge and from which they could influence the world, from the solitary state – but within the world itself it is not possible.’ “ [950W-{11/27/78}CD Vol. II, p. 211-212]
