Additional quotes by Heinrich Heine
I wept in my dreams.
I dreamed you lay in the grave;
I awoke, and the tears
still poured down my cheeks.
I wept in my dreams,
I dreamed you had left me;
I awoke and I went on weeping
long and bitterly.
I wept in my dreams,
I dreamed you were still kind to me;
I awoke, and still
the flow of my tears streams on.
Wenn zwei voneinander scheiden,
So so geben sie sich die Händ
Und fangen an zu weinen,
Und seufzen ohne End.
Wir haben nicht geweinet,
Wir seufzten nicht Weh und Ach!
Die Tränen und die Seufzer,
Die kamen hintennach.
"God will forgive me. It's his job." Heine said this on his deathbed (1856). Hilarious. He must have thought that up years before and counted the seconds to use it.
