Heine's writing pulses with life.
Above all, he understands love...
:54:18
and that is the main thing.
:54:20
But he's not one-sided in this.
:54:23
What do you mean?
:54:26
He's not just on the side of love.
:54:30
Well, even if he were...
:54:34
there are worse things.
:54:38
What else is he in favour of?
:54:40
He's a strong adherent of romance...
:54:43
which comes close behind love.
:54:45
Some people regard them as identical.
:54:49
Major, please excuse my thumbs
when l give you the sandwiches.
:54:54
As long as you don't give me
the thumbs down!

At Don Pedro's court,
was a dark, handsome Spanish knight...
:55:04
who wore the Cross of Calatrava
on his breast.
:55:07
This knight, whom the queen
secretly loved, of course--
:55:11
-Why, ''of course''?
-Because we're in Spain.
:55:15
Oh, l see.
:55:16
This knight had a magnificent hound.
:55:21
This had all been going on for some time...
:55:23
and the secret love affair
was no longer really a secret.
:55:27
Unable to bear it anymore...
:55:30
and because he didn't like
the Knight of Calatrava anyway...
:55:35
the king was not only cruel...
:55:37
but consumed by envy.
:55:41
He decided to have the knight
secretly murdered...
:55:45
for his secret love.
:55:48
l can't say l blame him.
:55:50
Well, just listen to what follows!
:55:53
ln some ways, the king was right...
:55:56
but he went much too far.
:55:59
Allegedly in honour of
the knight's heroic exploits...
