About Paul Éluard Paul Éluard was one of the founding members of the Surrealist movement and later a prominent political poet associated with the French Communist Party. Known internationally as “the Poet of Freedom,” he wrote powerful clandestine verses during WWII. In 1949 he visited Greek partisans in the mountains of Gramos—an experience that inspired the poems in Grèce, ma rose de raison, expressing his deep admiration and solidarity with Greece.
