precise: cautious exploitation of power of violence for enjoyment of possession. (Male). Apparently: correction of … purposelessly formative nature; at same time, however, incomprehension of nature’s true purpose which aims at deliverance from within itself: (Feminine.).” [1126W-{3/21/82 – 4/9/82}BB, p. 204]
[1127W-{4/20/82} CD Vol. II, p. 847-848]
[P. 847] {FEUER} “He enlarges upon the chapter on marriage with which he is now much occupied, this urge of Nature: ‘At any rate,’ he concludes, ‘it is always wrong to [P. 848] do anything against it.’ “ [1127W-{4/20/82} CD Vol. II, p. 847-848]

[1129W-{4/25/82} CD Vol. II, p. 851]
[P. 851] {FEUER} “Over coffee R. talks about his future work, his greatest, in which he will loudly state what will become of a race which uses the most important, mostpowerful force of all, the sexual urge, merely as a basis for marriages of rank!” [1129W-{4/25/82} CD Vol. II, p. 851]

[P. 855] {FEUER} {SCHOP} “At lunch he talked about ‘T. und Isolde’ in connection with his idea that Nature has a craving to produce something great and redeeming. ‘Tristan’ is the greatest of tragedies, R. says, for here Nature is thwarted in its finest work. … He said much more about ‘Tristan’ – how absurd to perform a work like this for money!” [1130W-{5/10/82} CD Vol. II, p. 855]

[P. 863] {FEUER} “R. says, half in German, half in French, ‘that reminds me of the King of Prussia, who once, in connection with ‘Tr. und Is.’, said Wagner must have been very much in love when he wrote it. Yet anyone familiar with my life well knows how [P. 864] insipid and trivial it was, and it is quite impossible to write a work like that in a state of infatuation. Yet probably it was due to my longing to escape from my wretched existence into a sea of love.
