- ↑ Approximate quotation of the line "The god to whom we have too oft prayed, 'tis Wagner" ("Offrande mélodique", Les Offrandes blessées, 1915, p. 97). At this period Proust was frequently critical of the jingoism of war correspondents towards German artists. See for example his letter of [11 April 1915] (CP 02932; Kolb, XIV, no. 43), in which he congratulates Paul Souday for having defended Wagner. [PK, FP]
