He is noble who both feels and acts nobly.
Heinrich Heine
Image
So we keep asking, over and over,Until a handful of earthStops our mouths -But is that an answer?

Heinrich Heine
Image

Then my friends will lie in their lonely grave, and I alone will remain like a solitary stalk forgotten by the reaper.
Heinrich Heine
Image
He who fears to venture as far as his heart urges and his reason permits, is a coward he who ventures further than he intended to go, is a slave.

The beauteous dragonfly's dancing By the waves of the rivulet glancing She dances here and she dances there, The glimmering, glittering flutterer fair. Full many a beetle with loud applause Admires her dress of azure gauze, Admires her body's bright splendour, And also her figure so slender...
Heinrich Heine
Image
Lo, sleep is good, better is death--in sooth The best of all were never to be born.
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
