Image

Heinrich Heine
Image
But a day must come when the fire of youth will be quenched in my veins, when winter will dwell in my heart, when his snow flakes will whiten my locks, and his mists will dim my eyes.

Heinrich Heine
Image
As the stars are the glory of the sky, so great men are the glory of their country, yea, of the whole earth. The hearts of great men are the stars of earth and doubtless when one looks down from above upon our planet, these hearts are seen to send forth, a silvery light just like the stars of heaven.

There is one thing on earth more terrible than English music, and that is English painting.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Every age has its problem, by solving which humanity is helped forward.
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
Image
I do not know the meaning of my sadness there is an old fairy tale that I cannot get out of my mind.
Heinrich Heine
Image
Oh, they loved dearly: their souls kissed, they kissed with their eyes, they were both but one single kiss.
Heinrich Heine
