Analysis of In A New Night
Paul Eluard 1895 (Saint-Denis) – 1952 (Charenton-le-Pont)
Woman I’ve lived with
Woman I live with
Woman I’ll live with
Always the same
You need a red cloak
Red gloves a red mask
And dark stockings
The reasons the proofs
Of seeing you quite naked
Nudity pure O ready finery
Breasts O my heart
