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, "Lutetia; or, Paris," Augsberg Gazette, 1842

HEINRICH HEINE, Book of Songs

With looks my care beguiling;
The country round appeareth straight
A flower-garden smiling.
HEINRICH HEINE, "Catherine", Book of Songs
In these times we fight for ideas, and newspapers are our fortresses.
HEINRICH HEINE, Scintillations from the Prose Works of Heinrich Heine
