Shakespearian Drama + Beethovenian Music = Perfection

Wagner surpassed him. His artwork is the most complete drama, and thus reaches far beyond any work of actual poetry. The form in which for drama and even more for music all conventionality would have to be completely abolished. We have to assume that this drama relates to ‘Opera’, as does one of Shakespeare’s works to literary drama and one of Beethoven’s symphonies to operatic music.

Blake, MIller, Nabokov and I'm tempted to say Melville are overrated hacks.

>> No.21908013

>>21907165
Rimbaud doesn’t deserve to be there and, while I prefer Melville to both men, I don’t see the logic in limping him in with the two men when the ideal of prose used by them is so different.

>>21907993
Have you read Blake’s epics/long poems, and have you read any Melville that’s not moby dick?
