Chapter 421: Heine's House
Robin said: "When we come here, we must take everyone to visit the Heine House, the former residence of celebrities, and we invite everyone to go and see it and feel the artistic atmosphere." β
Head Xia Yuxiang said: "I want to take a look, I also like Heine's poetry!"
Located on Bolker Street, the busiest street in the Old Town, Heine's House is a small three-storey white building, with a bronze logo in relief from Heine above the doorway, where the famous poet spent his childhood and adolescence, and which has now been converted into a bookstore.
One side of the water and soil to raise a person, visiting the place where he grew up, you can experience the temperament of a poet who gave birth to him, Qu Lihua is also curious about this poet, her parents' generation likes Heine more, she and Meng Wenjie are young, and they are strangers to Heine, this is the first time Qu Lihua came to visit Heine's former residence, everything is new to her.
Robin introduced to everyone: "The famous German lyric poet and essayist, born in DΓΌsseldorf on the Rhine in Germany, in a Jewish family, he used ordinary words and ordinary sentences to construct thoughtful, vivid and beautiful poems, known as one of the German classical literary figures, very famous, childhood and adolescence experienced the Napoleonic Wars. β
From 1819 to 1824, he studied law and philosophy at the Universities of Bonn, Goettingen, and Berlin, and studied law and philosophy, and he listened to lectures by the romantic writer August Wilhelm and the idealist philosopher Hegel. β
"An excellent poet, a good writer, his works are not only to write some joys, sorrows and sorrows in life, but also to reflect the society at that time, close to the people, to be able to worry about the worries of the world first, and the spirit of joy and happiness after the world, have a broad mind, persistent pursuit and a certain ideological realm, so that the works created can have artistic vitality. β
"It has stood the test of time, and even though many years have passed, it is still contagious to revisit Heine's work. β
Heine began his literary creation as early as the age of 20, and his early poems such as "The Troubles of Youth", "Lyrical Interludes", "Homecoming", and "Beihai Collection" are mostly based on personal encounters and love troubles. β
Meng Wenjie said: "There is also a process of the growth of a writer, when he was young, because his experience and experience were not so rich, the works he created only stayed in the themes of personal encounters and love troubles, which Heine could directly feel from a personal point of view, and it was also the most experienced thing at his age, and he expressed his hot emotions in words." β
Robin nodded, " Yes, it does take a process, Heine was still very motivated and very studious when he was young, he studied law and philosophy in college, and with these solid foundations, it also paved the way for his future creations, if literature is just to write about some small loves, he can't become great writers, those great writers, either suffer personally, have rich personal experience and experience, and have a profound life experience, or pay attention to social reality, create realistic themes that are close to people's lives and can resonate with society. β
"Goethe, Schiller, and Heine were all well-known German classicist writers, and you must visit their former homes when you come to Germany. β
"I feel the same pain in Germany as some people, and when I say the worst of it, I say my pain. β
This is the personal feeling expressed in Heine's poems "Every Time I am in the Early Morning", which has a certain social significance.
It shows a distinct romantic style, simple and sincere feelings, and rich folk songs, which are welcomed by the majority of readers, and many of the poems are composed by composers, which are widely circulated in Germany, and are the best works of German lyric poetry.
Robin said: "I still prefer Heine's state, he wants to write to be able to speak on behalf of the people, have a strong passion, and have the courage to write his true heart, which requires courage, and I, as a German, may not have the courage of him." β
Heine traveled to many places in Germany, and traveled to England, Italy and other countries, and had extensive contact with society, deepening his understanding of the real society, which became the source of his creation, and he often recorded what he saw, thought, and thought at any time, and later published it as a collection of his poems. β
After moving to Paris, Heine wrote a large number of articles about French society and culture for German readers, and he was also invited by French magazines to write articles about German culture, literature, philosophy, and religion for French readers. β
The Romantic literature in his eyes is the resurrection of medieval literature, a flower of suffering that sprouts from the blood of Christ, a strange and dazzling flower, which he recorded with his words and added his emotions.
Like Goethe, he had problems with his health, he was suffering from illness, and he was also very sad at that time, and when people were sick, they were very fragile and needed to seek comfort. β
Heine went out for the last time, to the Louvre Museum, and the statue of Venus with a broken arm evoked his sadness.
"I stayed at her feet for a long time, and I wept so sadly, that a stone would sympathize with me, and the goddess would look down on me with pity, but she was so desperate, as if she wanted to say, 'Don't you see, I have no arms, and can't help you?'"
When Heine returned home, he had to face the pain and fight the disease on his own, which was not easy.
Not only was the poet attacked on all sides during his lifetime, but he was still criticized after his death, and in Germany, from the 19th to the 20th century, several proposals to erect a statue of Heine caused great controversy.
However, Heine seems to have anticipated all this, and in the history of German literature he said with great confidence: "I never care about my reputation as a poet, and I don't care whether people praise or criticize my poetry, but put a sword on my coffin, for I am a faithful soldier in the war of human liberation." β
Qu Lihua listened to Robin's introduction to the great German poet, very emotional, life twists and turns, but also experienced setbacks and suffering, moved from Germany to live in Paris, still concerned about German affairs, he with his full emotion, full of passionate words, to express his feelings.
He didn't write for himself, but to make a voice that belonged to that era, although his views were also limited, but no one was perfect, and Qu Lihua felt that he had done the best he could.
What is especially commendable is that when his works were controversial, opposed and criticized by some people, Heine did not flinch, but still had the courage to refute those people and insist on his own views.
It is also this spirit that has made his poetry pass down and become a shining pearl in the German literary world, Heine's house has been turned into a bookstore, and there are restaurants, coffee shops, and bars nearby, and people are bustling here, but they still leave behind the breath of literature and culture, which should be remembered.
