by Heinrich Heine (1797 - 1856)
Mittelalterliche Roheit
Language: German (Deutsch)
Mittelalterliche Roheit Weicht dem Aufschwung schöner Künste: Instrument moderner Bildung Ist vorzüglich das Klavier. Auch die Eisenbahnen wirken Heilsam aufs Familienleben, Sintemal sie uns erleichtern Die Entfernung von der Sippschaft. Wie bedaur ich, daß die Darre Meines Rückgratmarks mich hindert, Lange Zeit noch zu verweilen In dergleichen Fortschrittswelt!
