Summary
| Description |
English: Detail of Heinrich Heine's grave at Montmartre Cemetery in Paris. The grave was designed by Dutch architect Louis Hasselriis in - as it says on the back of the grave in Roman numerals - MDCCCIC, which seems to be an incorrect (albeit shorter) rendition of the year 1899. Engraved on the three sides of the tombstone is Heine's poem Wo? (Where?). It says in English translation:
Where?
Find my haven and my shrine? Under palms will I be buried? Under lindens on the Rhine?
Buried by a stranger's hand ? Or upon the well-loved beaches, Covered by the friendly sand?
Wider spaces there than here. And the stars that swing in heaven Shall be lamps above my bier. (translated by L. U.) source: archive.org/stream/poemsofheinrichh00heinuoft/poemsofheinrichh00heinuoft_djvu.txtDeutsch: Ein Fragment von Heinrich Heines Grab auf dem Montemartre Friedhof in Paris. Das Grab is das Werk vom dänischen Architekt Louis Hasselriis aus dem Jahre MDCCCIC - so lautet die Inschrift hinten auf dem Grab, was eine falsch geschriebene aber dafür kürzere Version in römischen Zahlen vom Jahre 1899 sein muss.
Auf drei Seiten vom Grabstein ist Heines Gedicht Wo? eingraviert: Wo? Wo wird einst des Wandermüden Letzte Ruhestätte sein? Unter Palmen in dem Süden? Unter Linden an dem Rhein?
Eingescharrt von fremder Hand? Oder ruh ich an der Küste Eines Meeres in dem Sand?
Gotteshimmel, dort wie hier, Und als Totenlampen schweben Nachts die Sterne über mir. |
