> Wagner: “I see a poodle, a black poodle only.
> ’Tis but some sport, some phantom of your brain.”
> Faust: “Meseemth he softly coileth magic meshes
> To be a future fetter round our feet”
> Wagner: “He frisks in doubt and fear around us, lest ungracious
> The strangers' welcome be. He thought his lord to greet.”
