These poems, "written in continuous collaboration" were written by the two friends in January 1937 during a visit that Paul Eluard and Nusch paid to René Char in convalescence in the South of France. "We lived together, wrote the latter, in improvisation and the ease of friendship for a fortnight." 67468159
