Excerpt from Selections From Heine's Poems: Edited, With Notes

It is easier to be generous to Heine than to be just for justice to so inconsistent a personality would require the most painful counter-balancing of opposing qualities. Every where in his poetry we trace the continual conflict of the impulse toward a high and serious purpose with the stronger impulse to deride and to deny. In him the noble gift of poetic expression was entrusted to unworthy and even frivolous hands. His was a life without a moral centre.
