Lore ley - 1824
My Heart, why these black omens?
I'm sad. A
history of the ancient ages
Haunts my remembrance. Already
air cools, the evening falls,
On the Rhine, roaring flood;
Only a high rock overlooking
Shine the lights of the sunset.
Up there, the more beautiful nymphs,
Assisi, still dreaming;
His hand, where the ring spark
comb her golden hair.
The comb is magical. She sings, and strange
Stamp winner,
Tremble fly! voice touching the heart
Bewitches.
In his boat, the man who passes
Took a sudden transport
without seeing, staring into space,
Just on the reef death.
The reef breaks, the gulf surrounds,
The boat is sunk,
And here is the evil that can
Loreley on his rock
Heine, a famous poet and writer, born in Düsseldorf, of Jewish parents penniless, December 13, 1797, died in Paris, February 17, 1856. His first and most important political prints date from the time when the Rhineland was under anti-feudal domination of Napoleon (1806-1813). He attended high school from 1808 to 1814, then enter the trade. After tests in the miserable career (in Hamburg from 1816 to 1819), he devoted himself, with the support of his uncle, Solomon Heine rich, Hamburg, to study law at the universities of Bonn, Göttingen and Berlin, where he attended classes at the same time Germanic philology and philosophy diligently. He converted to Christianity 28 June 1825, and passed his Ph.D. on July 20 of that year at Göttingen. He then had the idea to settle Hamburg, but reasons still unknown to him had been abandoned, he lived alternately in London, Munich (1828, as political editor of the Annals of Cotta), in Northern Italy particularly in Berlin and Hamburg, until, in 1831, following frustrations and disappointments, he went to Paris, who was then the mecca of liberalism. The suffering of heart that in this first period of his life, made him feel unhappy love for her cousin Amelia and, later, Theresa, sister of the latter, had a profound influence on his poetic development, and it sentimental about these experiences that are based most of his lyrical confessions. Despite the nostalgia that came over him in Paris at other times, it was no longer possible to return in Germany for a short time in the fall 1843 and fall 1844, each of these two eras arriving only to leave again.
The Germanic Diet, by a decree dated December 1835, which condemned all writings of the "Young Germany," which Heine was, the financial situation of the latter was greatly compromised. His main income was a pension of 4000 francs annually served him his uncle Solomon, father of Amelia and Theresa. In October 1834, Heine had met a French woman, beautiful and good, but not uneducated playful mood, Eugenie Mirat (2) (died February 19, 1883, in Passy), whom he married Aug. 31, 1841, marriage was religiously devoted. Situated in a great shortage of money, he performs in 1836 or 1837, the approach most serious of his life by asking the French government a pension from the secret funds, pension amounting to 4800 francs, which was served until the fall of the July Monarchy, that is to say until 1848.
In 1845, he was suffering from an ailment of the spinal cord that, from 1848 to his death, nailed him on his bed, his Matratzengruft. Despite his physical state of the most miserable, he maintained an admirable coolness of mind, and it arose Then, of some of his most important productions in prose. Malicious turn of mind never left point and his concept of the world grew deeper, under the discipline of suffering.
Heine began in the literary life by his Gedichte (Berlin, 1822), which followed soon Tragoedien mit einem lyrischen Intermezzo (1823). His Gedichte met the warmest reception from prominent critics of the era, such as Varnhagen and Immermann, but the first two volumes Reiserbilder (1826), increased in 1830-1831, two other volumes were more successful yet ...
The poems he had brought, and gave back Heine, together with other previously published and more recently, in the Buch der Lieder (Hamburg, 1827) which reprinted ever, has always been considered One of the rarest treasures of German literature.
Once established in Paris, Heine began to be the mediator between intellectual Germans and French. Thus was written: Beitraege zur Geschichte der schoenen neuen Litteratur in Deutschland (8) (Hamburg, 1833, 2 vols.) That a new edition, took the title: Die romantische Schule (Hamburg, 1836); Franzoesische Zustaende (10) (Hamburg, 1833), collection of articles written in Paris for the Allgemeine Zeitung of Augsburg, which he adorned with a preface of the most violent reaction against Prussia; Der Salon ( Hamburg, 1835-1840, 4 vols.), where he explained in an original history of religion and philosophy and German, with humor, life, politics, drama and French art, and where he published the new comedy like Memoiren of Herrn von Schnabelewopski and Florentinische Nacht. Heine also knew in Paris, the beginnings of socialism in Saint-Simon and Childish, fell in love their doctrines that had lead to a strangely pagan sensuality all the joys of life, opposed to the Judeo-Christian spirituality. Of particular note traces of this theory in the literature on German literature and philosophy cited above. After a less valuable work entitled Shakespeares Maedchen und Frauen (Paris and Leipzig, 1839), Heine published a memoir of Ludwig Boerne (Hamburg, 1840) which caused great scandal and where, in a way the most bitter, he said the opponent absolute "Nazarene spiritualist" that was Boerne. Despite all his liberalism, Heine was rather intellectually an aristocrat and could not have the slightest understanding of the beliefs of Boerne exuberant. At the same time he coasted in its policy Neue Gedichte (17) (Hamburg, 1844), whose exquisite ballads are among his best productions. In his satirical epic: Deutschland, ein Wintermaerchen (Hamburg, 1844), he showed a new Aristophanes together without any sense of patriotism, however, that in his Atta Troll (Hamburg, 1847), it is quite remarkable resplendent in his descriptions and trends healthy and truly poetic.
From his patient room, emanated again: Romanzero (Hamburg, 1851), which contains his most beautiful ballads and complaints most penetrating and where in a short epilogue, the poet confesses his return to theism, and a fantastic ballet Der Doktor Faust (Hamburg, 1851), and Vermischtes Schriften (Hamburg, 1854, 2 vols.). In his posthumous works it has been published as: Gedichte und Latzte Gedunken (Hamburg, 1869), and number of years after his death, a fragment of his Memoiren (Hamburg, 1884) relating to its early years. We know nothing certain about the fate of other parts of the latter work. agora
