Glow-worms on the ground are moving, As if in the torch-dance circling.
Heinrich Heine
The violets prattle and titter, And gaze on the stars high above.
Heinrich Heine
What lies lurk in kisses.
Heinrich Heine
The eyes of spring, so azure, Are peeping from the ground They are the darling violets, That I in nosegays bound.
Heinrich Heine
Tell me who first did kisses suggest? It was a mouth all glowing and blest It kissed and it thought of nothing beside. The fair month of May was then in its pride, The flowers were all from the earth fast springing, The sun was laughing, the birds were singing.
Heinrich Heine
The foolish race of mankind are swarming below in the night they shriek and rage and quarrel - and all of them are right.
Heinrich Heine
Genius: 1. to believe your own thought. To believe that what is true for you is ultimately true. 2. a sledgehammer. 3. the fruit of labour and thought. 4. soul. 5. the ability to put into effect what is in your mind. 6. something one can become.

Heinrich Heine
You talk of our having an idea we do not have an idea. The idea has us, and martyrs us, and scourges us, and drives us into the arena to fight and die for it, whether we want to or not.
Heinrich Heine
I consider it a degradation and a stain on my honor to submit to baptism in order to qualify myself for state employment in Prussia.
Heinrich Heine
Lo, sleep is good, better is death--in sooth The best of all were never to be born.
Heinrich Heine
The same fact that Boccaccio offers in support of religion might be adduced in behalf of a republic: It exists in spite of its ministers.
Heinrich Heine
Poverty sits by the cradle of all our great men and rocks all of them to manhood.
Heinrich Heine
God will pardon me. It is His trade.
Heinrich Heine
The gazelles so gentle and clever Skip lightly in frolicsome mood.
Heinrich Heine
