Heine snarking and showing off. Delightful, fun, inspirational. How little has changed in some ways since 1844! I like this book/poem/work of snark so much that I tried my hand at “translating” its beginning into a travel log.

Another German Heinrich, less than a year later, and demonstrates the spirit that Heine hates.
