Tautenburg, near Dornburg (Thüringen), July 16, 1882: Letter to Lou von Salomé

[...] I have experienced so much with regard to this man [Richard Wagner] and his art—it was a long and totally involving passion: I can't find another word for it. The renunciation called for here, the finding-myself-again that finally became necessary—these things belong among the hardest and most melancholy of my destiny. The last words Wagner wrote to me stand in a lovely copy of Parsifal—it was a dedication: “To my dear friend, Friedrich Nietzsche, from Richard Wagner, Head of the Parish Council.” Precisely at the same time he received a copy of the book I'd sent him, my Human, All Too Human. With that, it was all clear, but also, all over.

How often, in all possible things, have I experienced precisely this: “All clear, but also, all over!"

And how happy I am, my beloved friend Lou, that I may now think with regard to the two of us, “All is just beginning, and yet it is all clear!” Have faith in me! Let us have faith in ourselves!

With heartfelt wishes to you on your journey,

Your friend,
Nietzsche.
