The sentence, "Love you ten years before the Flood," directly contains a Biblical Allusion.

I think the narrator grew to love the French culture than of
his original roots. In the poem “Book of Songs”, Heine had stated that he did
not like the French culture at all. He was torn between loving his German roots
or follows the French culture that he was accustomed to. It was only when he
was older that he was able to appreciate the French culture during the Prussian
Regime.
