“A
dog you are, a dog who
Conducts himself as such.
All
of my other friends, alas,
Disguise themselves too much.”—Heinrich
Heine (1797-1856), from “I Love You, Little Mopser,” in Poems of Heinrich Heine,
selected and translated by Louis Untermeyer (1957)
(Portrait of the poet by Moritz Daniel
Oppenheim, 1831)
