Iron helmets will not save/
Even heroes from the grave/
Good man's blood will drain away/
While the wickid win the day.

Additional quotes by Heinrich Heine

The stones here speak to me, and I know their mute language. Also, they seem deeply to feel what I think. So a broken column of the old Roman times, an old tower of Lombardy, a weather-beaten Gothic piece of a pillar understands me well. But I am a ruin myself, wandering among ruins.

Experience is a good school. But the fees are high

Sag mir, was bedeutet der Mensch?
Woher ist er kommen? Wo geht er hin?
Wer wohnt dort oben auf goldenen Sternen?

Iron helmets will not save/ Even heroes from the grave/ Good man's blood will drain away/ While the wickid win the day. - Heinrich Heine
