That elusive grail

 

Is this the last installment in John Michael Greer´s analysis of Wagner´s Ring Cycle and Parsifal? 

Here is the last paragraph: "The load of that loveless pity has become an immense political fact in our day. Wagner’s operas offer no answers in response to it; brilliant as he was despite his flaws, he wrestled with the challenges of his own time, not those of ours. Can we expect some other wandering youth raised in the wilderness to arrive with a new answer that will meet the hard needs of our predicament, or are we just waiting for fire and flood to overwhelm the Valhallas of the modern industrial world? The curtain falls, the lights come up, and the opera is over; if there is an answer, we must find it somewhere else."

Damn. For a moment, I assumed JMG would give us the Holy Grail!
