Abstract
An original study of the poem "Intimes" by Paul Eluard highlights a poetical writing full of erotic components with Hispanic inspiration, as reflected in its song-like rhythm and its appearance of Spanish drama. The common topics of the poet are present in this piece of work, but its rhythm, brightness and erotic aspects could be interpreted from the standpoint of its origin within Spanish territories. The poetic images of fire and water are noticeable in Eluard's verse, which reflects the bipolarity of the image of the woman whose hair radiates and flows at the same time. The vital impulse of Eros rules the love game with contradictory moves, either of fertile union or else of love chant from its privation with when it comes to realise its main projects.
