Quote

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

Thought precedes action as lighting does thunder.

Heinrich Heine
Image
The eyes of spring, so azure, Are peeping from the ground They are the darling violets, That I in nosegays bound.

Reform Judaism is like mock turtle soup-turtle soup without the turtle
Heinrich Heine
Image
The butterfly long loved the beautiful rose, And flirted around all day While round him in turn with her golden caress, Soft fluttered the sun's warm ray.... I know not with whom the rose was in love, But I know that I loved them all. The butterfly, rose, and the sun's bright ray, The star and the bird's sweet call.

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
In dark ages people are best guided by religion, as in a pitch-black night a blind man is the best guide he knows the roads and paths better than a man who can see. When daylight comes, however, it is foolish to use blind, old men as guides.
Heinrich Heine

The cloudlets are lazily sailing O'er the blue Atlantic sea And mid the twilight there hovers A shadowy figure o'er me.
Heinrich Heine
Image

Heinrich Heine
Image
We know only that our entire existence is forced into new paths and disrupted, that new circumstances, new joys and new sorrows await us, and that the unknown has its uncanny attractions, alluring and at the same time anguishing.
Heinrich Heine
Image
There, where one burns books... one, in the end, burns men.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Ordinarily he was insane, but he had lucid moments when he was merely stupid
Heinrich Heine
Image
Like a great poet, Nature produces the greatest results with the simplest means. These are simply a sun, trees, flowers, water and love.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Sweet May hath come to love us, Flowers, trees, their blossoms don And through the blue heavens above us The very clouds move on.
Heinrich Heine
Image
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
