The foolish race of mankind are swarming below in the night; they shriek and rage and quarrel - and all of them are right.
Heinrich HeineI do not know the meaning of my sadness; there is an old fairy tale that I cannot get out of my mind.
Heinrich HeineLike a great poet, Nature knows how to produce the greatest effects with the most limited means.
Heinrich HeineOn 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.
