Quote

Sweet May lies fresh before us, To life the young flowers leap, And through the Heaven's blue o'er us The rosy cloudlets sweep.

Heinrich Heine
Image
Poverty sits by the cradle of all our great men and rocks all of them to manhood.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Those who begin by burning books will end by burning people.
Heinrich Heine
Image
All I really want is enough to live on, a little house in the country... and a tree in the garden with seven of my enemies hanging in it.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The lotus flower is troubled At the sun's resplendent light With sunken head and sadly She dreamily waits for the night.
Heinrich Heine
Image
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

Image
Experience is a good school. But the fees are high.
Heinrich Heine
Image
I call'd the devil, and he came, And with wonder his form did I closely scan He is not ugly, and is not lame, But really a handsome and charming man. A man in the prime of life is the devil, Obliging, a man of the world, and civil A diplomatist too, well skill'd in debate, He talks quite glibly of church and state.
Heinrich Heine
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

Heinrich Heine
Image
Nature, like a true poet, abhors abrupt transitions.
Heinrich Heine
Image
It is a common phenomenon that just the prettiest girls find it so difficult to get a man.
Heinrich Heine
Image
There, where one burns books... one, in the end, burns men.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The deepest truth blooms only from the deepest love.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Every age thinks its battle the most important of all.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The air grows cool and darkles, The Rhine flows calmly on The mountain summit sparkles In the light of the setting sun.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The negro king desired to be portrayed as white. But do not laugh at the poor African for every man is but another negro king, and would like to appear in a color different from that with which Fate has bedaubed him.
Heinrich Heine
