From "The Capital of Pain" by Paul Eluard. Death in Conversation: "Who else has your face. The good and the bad. Imaginable beauty. Infinite gymnastics. In mobility surpassing. Colours and kissing. Grand gestures in the night".The Capital of Pain comprising many of the poems and prose written by Eluard between 1921 and 1926 is widely considered Eluards finest surrealist achievement/The collection was acclaimed as the most unified exponent of Surrealisms creative intentions achieved by Paul Eluard. French poet, a founder of Surrealism with Louis Aragon and Andre; Breton among others, he was one of the most important lyrical poets of the 20th century. Éluard rejected later Surrealism and joined the French Communist Party. Many of his works reflect the major events of the century, such as the World Wars, the French Resistance against the Nazis, and the political and social ideals of the 20th-century. Capital of Pain has had a lasting impression on more readers than one might expect. Today this collection is thought by many to be the key to grasping what Surrealist texts are like. It clearly shows the freshness of early Surrealism, as well as the despair of post war trauma. Paul Eluard was, through the years of surrealism , the most celebrated poet among that extraordinary grouping of poets. During a leave from the service in 1917, Eluard married a Russian woman, Helena Diakonova, known as Gala. Gala inspired several of Éluard's poems published in Capital of Pain, which established his reputation as a poet. It includes some of his poems on the subject of love [Au Coeur de mon amour] and L'Amourese'[A woman in love]There are also the well known celebrations of his life's visions and time [ Leur yeux toujours pous].[ "Days of slowness days of rain.
