Author's Notes: "Heinrich Heine Revisited," is a narrative quatrain poem that I've been wanting to write for quite some time. I actually have detailed author's notes embedded below in the text of the poem itself which explain certain prominent points I highlighted with asterisks, vice traditional footnotes, so the reader can refer to the explanatory information relevant to the poem. With this poem, I hope I can heighten your interest to possibly read some of Heine's poetry -- if some of you "Soupers" have not done so already. As I hope you'll see from my poem here, Heine is one of the great German poets who made invaluable contributions to German literature during the nineteenth-century. He is associated with the "Romanticism" movement that originated in Europe and experienced its zenith during the first half of the nineteenth-century.
