Nice, December 14, 1887: Letter to Carl Fuchs

Dear and worthy friend,

[...] Throughout the last years the vehemence of my inner vibrations has been frightening. Now that I have to move on to a new and higher form of expression, I need first of all a new sense of alienation, a still greater depersonalization. [....]

In Germany there is much complaining about my “eccentricities.” But since it is not known where my center is, it won't be easy to find out where or when I have thus far been “eccentric.” That I was a philologist, for example, meant that I was outside my center (which fortunately does not mean that I was a poor philologist). Likewise, I now regard my having been a Wagnerian as eccentric. It was a highly dangerous experiment; now that I know it did not ruin me, I also know what significance it had for me—it was the most severe test of my character. [...]

[....] So far no one had had enough courage and intelligence to reveal me to my dear Germans. My problems are new, my psychological horizon frighteningly comprehensive, my language bold and clear; there may well be no books written in German which are richer in ideas and more independent than mine. [....]
