Heinrich Heine

The devil take these people and their language! They take a dozen monosyllabic words in their jaws, chew them, crunch them and spit them out again, and call that speaking. Fortunately they are by nature fairly silent, and although they gaze at us open-mouthed, they spare us long conversations.
Heinrich Heine

The lotus flower is troubled At the sun's resplendent light With sunken head and sadly She dreamily waits for the night.
