Wagner's operas are full of Trug (besides Wahn), something he picked
up from Schopenhauer who was impressed by Indian philosophy (as was
Wagner - he planned an opera on Buddha); any other opera writer would
have chosen Verrat. Trug und Wahn des Tages etc etc (Tristan). Someone
should have stayed off mercury.
