>He plays me the Prelude, from the orchestral sketch! My emotion lasts long—then he speaks to me about this feature, in the mystery of the Grail, of blood turning into wine, which permits us to turn our gaze refreshed back to earth, whereas the conversion of wine into blood draws us away from the earth. Wonderful mingling in the Prelude of mysticism and chivalry. The D major modulation is for him like the spreading of the tender revelation across the whole world. But in order to impart the spiritual quality of Christ’s words, their detachment from all material things, he intends to use a mixture of voices: “A baritone voice, for example, would make it all sound material; it must be neither man nor woman, but neuter in the highest sense of the word.” We continue for a long time to talk about Christ, the Gospel account of the day before his death the sublimest thing ever produced by Man, incomparable, divine! He plays me once more the passage in which, as he says, “the transfigured gaze breaks.”

Parsifal is the greatest work of art ever created, Nietzsche just felt threatened by it. 'Wagner is stealing my audience'. Seethe more.

>"Zarathustra" is ethically the outcome of an unconscious protest against "Parsifal" — which artistically entirely governs it — of the rivalry of one evangelist for another.
- Spengler

Parsifal. The most intricate investigation into the symbolism of blood in our civilisation.

Parsifal easily has the greatest dramaturgical history of any play.
