Heine, the poet in Paris

 This article reminded me again  why Heine is one my favorite poets. Elegant irony, simple vocabulary that I can follow with my pitiful German. Quotable and put on songs by many. Oscillating between a rich uncle and Karl Marx. An admirer of Saint-Simon...Seeing clearly the march of history .... A German poet in Paris, with almost no statue but still with us.
