Paul Eluard is my most treasured poet. Unfortunately his works are unknown to the English audience. My favorite poems of him is "Je t’aime" followed by "Liberty"... they say every warrier had a copy of "The Liberty" in his pocket, fighting versus Nazies in the trenches of ww2. When I read "Je t’aime" I know that was it: my favorite poem that I shall be humming when My time comes. Unfortunately only Frenchs and Persians relate and fall in love with this poem. English speaking audience particularly, below the waist of their poetic population, find that, of no significance at all. It must be a cultural thing. the Phrase: "I love you for all the women I have not known" is legend in my culture and French of course. I know Spanish poets like Neroda where in love with this piece too, and Lorca I guess, because he was a personal friend of Eluard.
