Quote

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

More quotes by Heinrich Heine

Image
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.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Out of my great sorrows, I make little songs.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Music is a strange thing. I would almost say it is a miracle.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The stones here speak to me, and I know their mute language. Also, they seem deeply to feel what I think. So a broken column of the old Roman times, an old tower of Lombardy, a weather- beaten Gothic piece of a pillar understands me well. But I am a ruin myself, wandering among ruins.
Heinrich Heine
Image
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
Image
He who fights with priests may make up his mind to have his poor good name torn and befouled by the most infamous lies and the most cutting slanders.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Lo, sleep is good, better is death--in sooth The best of all were never to be born.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Life is all too wondrous sweet, and the world is so beautifully bewildered it is the dream of an intoxicated divinity.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Atheism is the last word of theism
Heinrich Heine
Image
Like a great poet, Nature knows how to produce the greatest effects with the most limited means.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Wild, dark times are rumbling toward us, and the prophet who wishes to write a new apocalypse will have to invent entirely new beasts, and beasts so terrible that the ancient animal symbols of St. John will seem like cooing doves and cupids in comparison.
Heinrich Heine
Image
True eloquence consists in saying all that is necessary, and nothing but what is necessary.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Reason exercises merely the function of preserving order, is, so to say, the police in the region of art. In life it is mostly a cold arithmetician summing up our follies.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Money is the god of our time, and Rothschild is his prophet.
Heinrich Heine
Image
There is only one writer in whom I find something that reminds me of the directness of style which is found in the Bible. It is Shakespeare.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Twelve Dancings are dancing, and taking no rest, And closely their hands together are press'd And soon as a dance has come to a close, Another begins, and each merrily goes.
Heinrich Heine
Image
It is a common phenomenon that just the prettiest girls find it so difficult to get a man.
Heinrich Heine
Image
If one has no heart, one cannot write for the masses.
Heinrich Heine
Image
The eyes of spring, so azure, Are peeping from the ground They are the darling violets, That I in nosegays bound.
Heinrich Heine

Christ rode on an ass, but now asses ride on Christ.
