purposely belie ourselves in this regard, when we think necessary to hold immoral [P. 81] and taboo all open proclamation of our natural repugnance against the Jewish nature.” [456W-{8/50} Judaism In Music: PW Vol. III, p. 80-81]

[P. 83] This is of great weight: a man whose appearance we must hold unfitted for artistic treatment – not merely in this or that personality, but according to his kind in general – neither can we hold him [P. 84] capable of any sort of artistic utterance of his [inner] essence.
