. . . .In the last decade of his life he came to think of ‘Schopenhauerian philosophy and Parsifal as the crowning achievement!’ Yet although he had these unique attitudes towards Schopenhauer, and the two men had a number of acquaintances in common, they never met, nor was there ever any serious attempt on Wagner’s side to arrange a meeting. In the first heady weeks of discovery, at Christmas 1854, he sent the philosopher a published copy of his ‘Ring’ libretto (the words that are sung or spoken in a musical work for the theater) inscribed ‘With reverence and gratitude’, but he felt too diffident to enclose a hetter. He received no acknowledgement. In 1860 he stayed for a time in Frankfurt, where Schopenhauer was, of course, living (Schopenhauer was then seventy two, Wagner forty seven) but although he ostensibly* toyed with the idea of calling on the philosopher he never did. The prospect made him feel inadequate: he felt he would have nothing to say. . . . Page 362
