Waltraud, ta hanyar shigar da kanta, tana da buri. Kuma duk lokacin da ta saita sandar ta dan sama.

Wani lokaci ina jin tsoro cewa ba zan iya ba. Wannan ya faru da Isolde: Na koyi shi kuma na riga na rera waƙa a Bayreuth, kuma ba zato ba tsammani na gane cewa, bisa ga ma'auni na, ban isa ga wannan rawar ba. Haka abin ya faru da rawar Leonora a cikin Fidelio. Amma duk da haka na ci gaba da aiki. Ba na cikin wadanda suka daina. Ina nema har sai na samu.
