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

Heinrich Heine

On the waves of the brook she dances by, The light, the lovely dragon-fly She dances here, she dances there, The shimmering, glimmering flutterer fair. And many a foolish young beetle's impressed By the blue gauze gown in which she is dressed They admire the enamel that decks her bright, And her elegant waist so slim and slight.

I do not know if she was virtuous, but she was ugly, and with a woman that is half the battle.
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
Human misery is too great for men to die without faith.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings.
Heinrich Heine
Image
It must require an inordinate share of vanity and presumption, too, after enjoying so much that is good and beautiful on earth, to ask the Lord for immortality in addition to it all.
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
Image
It is a common phenomenon that just the prettiest girls find it so difficult to get a man.
