The Prose Writings of Heinrich Heine

Excerpt from The Prose Writings of Heinrich Heine: Edited, With an Introduction, by Havelock Ellis With his uncle's help he studied law at Bonn, Gottingen and Berlin. At Berlin he fell under the dominant influence of Hegel, the vanquisher of the romantic school of which Schelling was the philosophic representative. Heine afterwards referred to this period as that in which he herded swine with the Hegelians it is certain that Hegel exerted great and perma nent influence over him. At Berlin, in 1821, appeared his first volume of poems, and then he began to take his true place. At this period Heine is described as a good-natured and gentle youth, but reserved, not caring to show his emotions. He was of middle height and slender, with rather long light brown hair (in childhood it was red, and he was called Rother Harry) framing the pale and beardless oval face, the bright blue short-sighted eyes, the Greek nose, the high cheek-bones, the large mouth, the full - half cynical, half sensual - lips. He was not a typical German; like Goethe, he never smoked; he disliked beer, and until he went to Paris he had never tasted sauerkraut.
