The Pertinent Wagnerite (Classic Reprint) by B M Steigman

Excerpt from The Pertinent Wagnerite To Otto H. Kahn, Esq.: An address to you here may seem a reversion to the prefatory type of two hundred years ago, that prudently made obeisance to its noble lord with full many a scraping superlative. Your benefactions in behalf of American art, in truth, have been such as to make the courtly tribute seem hardly an anachronism. It is the more gladly rendered since there is no real occasion at the same time for preclusive protest against an eighteenth century interpretation of the motive. For one thing, even those who do not know the extent of your patronage of artistic enterprise, are aware of your insistence upon anonymity. And those who by chance have had a glimpse of the range of this patronage, realize how slight must be the possible tribute to it - were such attempted - of an occasional dedication like mine. This every one knows: that the democratic principles you have expressed are certainly two hundred years beyond the age of Halifax and Chesterfield; and that any attempted restoration, be it merely literary, of the encumbrance of ruffle and silken stocking, would meet with a doubtful reception. The more cause have I to hope that the impersonal protest of these essays will be given such consideration by you as the theme merits.
