Paul Eluard

14 December 1895 – 18 November 1952 / Saint Denis / Paris

Ring Of Peace

I have passed the doors of coldness
The doors of my bitterness
To come and kiss your lips

City reduced to a room
Where the absurd tide of evil
leaves a reassuring foam

Ring of peace I have only you
You teach me again what it is
To be human when I renounce

Knowing whether I have fellow creatures
