The air grows cool and darkles, The Rhine flows calmly on The mountain summit sparkles In the light of the setting sun.

More quotes by Heinrich Heine
Out of my own great woe I make my little songs.
Heinrich Heine
Ask me not what I have, but what I am.
Heinrich Heine
There is one thing on earth more terrible than English music, and that is English painting.
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
Every age thinks its battle the most important of all.
Heinrich Heine
Newness hath an evanescent beauty.
Heinrich Heine
When'er into thine eyes I see, All pain and sorrow fly from me. [Ger., Wenn ich in deine Augen sch' So schwindet all' mein Leid und Weh.]
Heinrich Heine
There, where one burns books... one, in the end, burns men.
Heinrich Heine
The nightingale appear'd the first, And as her melody she sang, The apple into blossom burst, To life the grass and violets sprang.
Heinrich Heine
The violets prattle and titter, And gaze on the stars high above.
Heinrich Heine
God will forgive me. It's his job.
Heinrich Heine
Oh, they loved dearly: their souls kissed, they kissed with their eyes, they were both but one single kiss.
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
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
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
Write . . . write . . . pencil . . . paper.
Heinrich Heine
Lyrical poetry is much the same an every age, as the songs of the nightingales in every spring-time.
Heinrich Heine
First, I thought, almost despairing, This must crush my spirit now Yet I bore it, and am bearing- Only do not ask me how.
Heinrich Heine
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
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...
