Quote

The spring's already at the gate With looks my care beguiling The country round appeareth straight A flower-garden smiling.

Image
So we keep asking, over and over,Until a handful of earthStops our mouths -But is that an answer?
Heinrich Heine
Image
If one has no heart, one cannot write for the masses.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Perhaps already I am dead, And these perhaps are phantoms vain - These motley phantasies that pass At night through my disordered brain. Perhaps with ancient heathen shapes, Old faded gods, this brain is full Who, for their most unholy rites, Have chosen a dead poet's skull.
Heinrich Heine
Image
God will forgive me. It's his job.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The eyes of spring, so azure, Are peeping from the ground They are the darling violets, That I in nosegays bound.

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

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.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Perfumes are the feelings of flowers, and as the human heart, imagining itself alone and unwatched, feels most deeply in the night-time, so seems it as if the flowers, in musing modesty, await the mantling eventide ere they give themselves up wholly to feeling...
Heinrich Heine
Image
Oh, they loved dearly: their souls kissed, they kissed with their eyes, they were both but one single kiss.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Like a great poet, Nature knows how to produce the greatest effects with the most limited means.
Heinrich Heine
Image
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
Image
Everywhere that a great soul gives utterance to its thoughts, there also is a Golgotha.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Money is the god of our time, and Rothschild is his prophet.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The propaganda of communism possesses a language which every people can understand. Its elements are simply hunger, envy, death.
