Die in linder Lüfte weh'n da oben ihr lebt, lacht und liebt: mit gold'ner Faust euch Göttliche fang' ich mir alle! Wie ich der Liebe abgesagt, Alles … - Richard Wagner
" "Die in linder Lüfte weh'n da oben ihr lebt, lacht und liebt:
mit gold'ner Faust euch Göttliche fang' ich mir alle!
Wie ich der Liebe abgesagt,
Alles was lebt soll ihr entsagen!
Mit Golde gekirrt, nach Gold, nur sollt ihr noch gieren!
Auf wonnigen Höh'n, in seligem Weben wiegt ihr euch;
den Schwarzalben verachtet ihr ewigen Schwelger!
Habt Acht! Habt Acht!
Denn dient ihr Männer erst meiner Macht,
eure schmucken Frau'n, die mein Frei'n verschmäht,
sie zwingt zur Lust sich der Zwerg, lacht Liebe ihm nicht!
Ha ha ha ha!
Habt ihr's gehört?
Habt Acht!
Habt Acht!
vor dem nächtlichen Heer,
entsteigt des Niblungen Hort
aus stummer Tiefe zu Tag!

About Richard Wagner
Wilhelm Richard Wagner (22 May 1813 – 13 February 1883) was a German composer, theatre director, polemicist, and conductor who is chiefly known for his operas (or, as some of his mature works were later known, "music dramas"). Unlike most opera composers, Wagner wrote both the libretto and the music for each of his stage works. Initially establishing his reputation as a composer of works in the romantic vein of Carl Maria von Weber and Giacomo Meyerbeer, Wagner revolutionised opera through his concept of the Gesamtkunstwerk ("total work of art"), by which he sought to synthesise the poetic, visual, musical and dramatic arts, with music subsidiary to drama.

Additional quotes by Richard Wagner
My friend, in your youth, when you are in love for the first time, your breast swells high and wide, and it's easy to sing a beautiful song: the spring sings it for you. But when summer, then autumn, and winter come, and you have worries and responsibilities, family, children, and family quarrels, whoever can still succeed in singing a beautiful song then, you see: that person is called 'Master'!
