Image
In vain would I seek to discover Why sad and mournful am I, My thoughts without ceasing brood over A tale of the time gone by.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The gazelles so gentle and clever Skip lightly in frolicsome mood.
Heinrich Heine
Image
There is only one writer in whom I find something that reminds me of the directness of style which is found in the Bible. It is Shakespeare.
Heinrich Heine
Image
There is no Sixth Commandment in art. The poet is entitled to lay his hands on whatever material he finds necessary for his work.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Each violet peeps from its dwelling to gaze at the bright stars above.
Heinrich Heine
Image
All our contemporary philosophers perhaps without knowing it are looking through eyeglasses that Baruch Spinoza polished. Spinoza was a philosopher who earned his livelihood by grinding lenses.
Heinrich Heine
Image
There, where one burns books... one, in the end, burns men.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The swan, like the soul of the poet, By the dull world is ill understood.
Heinrich Heine
Image
We know only that our entire existence is forced into new paths and disrupted, that new circumstances, new joys and new sorrows await us, and that the unknown has its uncanny attractions, alluring and at the same time anguishing.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Jews who long have drifted from the faith of their fathers... are stirred in their inmost parts when the old, familiar Passover sounds chance to fall upon their ears.
Heinrich Heine
Image
He only profits from praise who values criticism.
Heinrich Heine
Image
I do not know if she was virtuous, but she was ugly, and with a woman that is half the battle.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Newness hath an evanescent beauty.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Be entirely tolerant or not at all follow the good path or the evil one. To stand at the crossroads requires more strength than you possess.
Heinrich Heine
Image
If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found time to conquer the world.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The beauteous dragonfly's dancing By the waves of the rivulet glancing She dances here and she dances there, The glimmering, glittering flutterer fair. Full many a beetle with loud applause Admires her dress of azure gauze, Admires her body's bright splendour, And also her figure so slender...
Heinrich Heine
Image
Like a great poet, Nature knows how to produce the greatest effects with the most limited means.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The stones here speak to me, and I know their mute language. Also, they seem deeply to feel what I think. So a broken column of the old Roman times, an old tower of Lombardy, a weather- beaten Gothic piece of a pillar understands me well. But I am a ruin myself, wandering among ruins.
Heinrich Heine
Image
In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide he knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind, old men as guides.
Heinrich Heine
Image
A lonely fir-tree is standing On a northern barren height It sleeps, and the ice and snow-drift Cast round it a garment of white.
