FYI I don't know how to incorporate this into the article, but in Thor (Marvel Comics) a Marvel Comics wrote a short series based loosely on this and the Volsunga in between issues #292-300.MPA 23:01, 16 April 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by MPA (talk • contribs)

"In deepest humility I dedicate herewith" to your majesties of this article my humble offering, "I make bold to add this most humble request": may your majesties "deign to dignify the present modest labor with a gracious acceptance", --Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:47, 6 August 2013 (UTC)

Quite a few years off the mark there - to what Bach says, Wagner replies "this fast-growing tendency to chain men to machine and deprive them of all joy in their efforts--the plan will lead to cheap men and cheap products. I set my face against it and plead for the dignity and health of the open air, and the olden time". Nikkimaria (talk) 00:53, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Wrong era ;) - It's 2013 now, I have joy in the effort of "awakening", showing more open air, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:16, 7 August 2013 (UTC)

Ugly and futile; proving, as Nikkimaria shows, that as often, Wagner had it right well ahead of his time. Why, I ponder, should anyone waste their time scattering this sort of dung across assorted article talk-pages, when they could be doing something constructive? I join the plea for dignity and (mental) health.--Smerus (talk) 14:08, 12 August 2013 (UTC)

You belie the definition of ponder and frankly have exhausted a significant measure of good faith! I've too long observed this debate, seeing no reason to comment more compelling than speaking to a wall; a measure I do not fancy. Because you have shown yourself bankrupt, I would not normally withhold my two cent's when it could relieve the shame you must feel as a vagrant. But you will remain destitute before I extend charity; until you apologize to Gerda Arendt, one of the kindest wikipedians I have ever known!

Only then will I describe to you the verb tense of ponder, and the important nuance of its meaning. Please pardon my candor if I've wrongfully identified you as a discourteous malcontent when in fact you are actually ignorant. I feel nearly certain however that you are not ignorant, choosing not to treat you as if you were. :) John Cline (talk) 10:00, 16 August 2013 (UTC)

Only just seen this as my friend Gerda has just pointed it out to me. Hope you have lightened up a bit by now. Best, --Smerus (talk) 20:49, 1 August 2014 (UTC)
