Of course, you can always wile away the hours listening to Nietzsche’s compositional efforts.

Heh. I dunno, does this Nietzsche cat swing? If he's not danceable, they can both wait six or seven months, until the world is getting dark again, there's not much else to do and the world turns to these smokier fuels for awhile.

Until then it swan boats come swan boating time and the birds are singing in the sun. That rare bird there, hark! What says its song? Spear and magic helmet?

Die Braut gewinnt,
Brünnhilde erweckt
ein Feiger nie:
nur wer das Fürchten nicht kennt!

I think that one's been picked pretty clean myself. Past time for me to stop worrying at it!

weisestes Weib,
sage mir nun:
wie besiegt die Sorge der Gott?

In most cases I counsel against psychiatric medication, but in your case I will make an exception.

Si tu tiens la voie de l’intelligence pour supérieure à celle de l’action intéressée, ô Janârdana, ô Késhava, pourquoi m’inciter à cette horrible bataille?

Whereto answering, the sea,
Delaying not, hurrying not,
Whisper’d me through the night, and very plainly before day-break,
Lisp’d to me the low and delicious word DEATH;
And again Death-ever Death, Death, Death,
Hissing melodious, neither like the bird, nor like my arous’d child’s heart,
But edging near, as privately for me, rustling at my feet,
Creeping thence steadily up to my ears, and laving me softly all over,
Death, Death, Death, Death, Death.

It's that exact shanta rasa dimension to Wagner and all of this I'm seasick of: the Robert Wilson abstractions, the tidal pull to silence sinking down among the dead things. There's a season for that.

Adbhuta rasa and the rest, that's something else. The melodious hissing more like the bird and my arous'd child's heart. In their season!
