The lotus flower is troubled At the sun's resplendent light With sunken head and sadly She dreamily waits for the night.
Heinrich Heine
Glow-worms on the ground are moving, As if in the torch-dance circling.

Christianity is an idea, and as such is indestructible and immortal, like every idea.
Heinrich Heine
Freedom is a new religion, the religion of our time.
