Das Fräulein stand am Meere,
Und seufzte lang und bang,
Es rührte sie so sehre
Der Sonnenuntergang.
(heinrich heine, lutezia 1854)

The Brockhausisches Konversationsblatt (Gazzette of Brockhaus) contains on summer more articles against me than on winter. Forgive me, dear reader, if these lines are inadeguate to such a terrible current times. But my enemies are too much ridiculous ! And naming them “enemies” does them a favour, I am too much polite with them.
A monkey saw a man with the razor shaving. The monkey was really interested to this fact and stood there looking. When the man finished the shave went out of the room the monkey entered the room then he opened the drawer searching for the razor. He means to shave his face in order to be human using the tools for shaving. Alas! He soaped his face tried for shave his face but the result was that he cut his own throat. I mean with this pun that using the word is like the use of a razor. It can be very dangerous!

I proudly disregard the people that accuse me of pusillanimity because I am able to moderate my impetus. They look at me like a plebeian but it is my main virtue: I get faith toward the honest sentiments of my adversary. Yes, we are disillusioned, and again tricked, because we suffer to the mendacity rules. We are the losers hence our heart suffers in our breast.
(Heinrich Heine, 1832 – text and digitalised picture curated by rinaldo rasa)
