Poems by Paul Eluard
At the Window
... The language of my love does not belong to human language, my human body does not touch the flesh ...
Curfew
... What else could we do, for the streets were forbidden us, ...
Five Haiku
... Rolls a cigarette of air The mute girl talks: ...
Head Against The Walls
... Rather than ignore With a safety pin quicker than your gibbets ...
Hunted
... Reply to the black signs that misery makes to them ...
I Cannot be Known
... Our endless solitude Are no longer what they thought themselves to be You cannot be known ...
La courbe de tes yeux
... La courbe de tes yeux fait le tour de mon coeur, ...
Lady Love
... As a stone against the skyShe will never close her eyes ...
Other Children
... From the order of a child to that of an old man, ...
The Absence
... I speak to you across plains My mouth is upon your pillow Both faces of the walls come meeting ...
The Deaf and Blind
... Like the wind over terrible seas, like the wind That creeps slowly over every horizon ...
The Human Face
... Well-powdered girls, quickly to their knees Their hands -- reaching for the fresh air -- ...
The Nakedness of Truth (I know it well)
... But I am as real as my love and my despair ...
The River
... Unimaginable water, my little boat, ...
To Live
... I am young my blood rises over my ruins We have our hands to entwine Nothing can ever seduce better ...
