by Eugène Émile Paul Grindel (1895 - 1952), as Paul Éluard

Nudité de la vérité
Language: French (Français) 
Le désespoir n'a pas d'ailes,
L'amour non plus,
Pas de visage,
Ne parle pas,
Je ne bouge pas,
Je ne les regarde pas,
Je ne leur parle pas
Mais je suis bien aussi vivant 
Que mon amour et que mon désespoir.
