The stars in the sky appear beautiful and pure only because they are so far from us, and we have no idea about their private lives.
——Heinrich Heine
"Sorry, who wants to fight?"
Arthur's voice wasn't particularly loud, but among a group of impassioned young people, his voice was quickly drowned out by a wave of cheers.
The tavern was filled with students expressing their indignation over the tragic experiences of their senior alumnus, Heine.
Although these students imagined Heine's impoverished life in Paris, some even added detailed descriptions.
But as far as Arthur knew, when Heine was with him, not only did they never eat black bread, but they also tried almost every high-end restaurant in Paris.
And when Arthur told Heine that he was about to leave Paris to take up a post in Germany, Heine enthusiastically recommended the Jaco restaurant in Berlin. According to Heine, the culinary excellence there was on par with Paris.
