Mme Wesendonck then understands that when he makes love to her he has in his mind only the bright image of Isolde. This so disconcerts her that she decides not to accompany him after...
Always the self-dramatizer, Wagner lifts his arm and thunders: "Let this be your epitaph - 'I struck down the mightiest talent that God ever created for the enrichment of music!'" Grandiosely he flings away the envelope containing a loan of money from her husband, but, a moment before his carriage rolls away, sends a servant back to retrieve...
