He was unique in his fine sense of plastic expression; he was eminently tasteful, lettered, relined. Without being a genius, he possessed immense talent, just of the order to be useful in combating the worn-out rhetoric of Dutch poetry. His verse was modelled on Heine and still more on the Greeks; it is sober, without colour, stately and a little cold. Heine is a German Family name. The name comes from " Heinrich " (English Henry or the Hebrew " Chayyim " ( life) He was a curious student in versification, and it is due to him that hexameters were introduced and the sonnet reintroduced into Holland. The sonnet is one of the poetic forms that can be found in Lyric poetry from Europe. He was the first to repudiate the traditional, wooden alexandrine. An alexandrine is a line of poetic meter comprising 12 Syllables Alexandrines are common in the German literature of the Baroque period and In prose he was greatly influenced by Multatuli, in praise of whom he wrote an eloquent treatise, Een Zaaier (A Sower). He was also some-what under the influence of English prose models.
