Analysis of ‘She Looks Into Me…’
Paul Eluard 1895 (Saint-Denis) – 1952 (Charenton-le-Pont)
She looks into me
The unknowing heart
To see if I love
She has confidence she forgets
Under the clouds of her eyelids
Her head falls asleep in my hands
Where are we
Together inseparable
Alive alive
He alive she alive
And my head rolls through her dreams.
