C. L. Graves, Punch, Volume 147, Issue 3818… (19th and 20th century)
“ Guides the nation's brain and guides it solely. Now Mozart's serene and joyous magic Yields to Richard Strauss, the hæmorrhagic. [*] Now the eagle changing to the vulture Preaches rapine in the name of culture. Now the Prussian Junker, blind with fury, Claims to be God's counsel, judge and jury. While the authentic German genius slumbers, Cast into the limbo of back numbers. *↑ Great play is made in Strauss's Elektra with the "slippery blood" motive. ”
