Excerpt from Richard Wagner, Vol. 2: His Life and Works
Be that as it may, his enemies found in his previous palinodes, pretext for attacking him; and his enemies were numerous, for his arrival had caused much commotion in Bavaria, so conspicuous from the very first were his extrava gant tastes and his domineering nature. Little did it matter that he had become a Bavarian subject. The Catholics attacked him as an atheist, the autonomists as a foreigner; both attacked him as a revolutionist; people with no particular opinion were indignant at his extravagances which drained the public treasury, and the government employees were dissatisfied at seeing him receive all the surplus receipts which had hitherto gone to them. In short, all opinions and all interests found themselves one fine day leagued against him.
