I Cannot be Known

themagiclantern:

by Paul Éluard

I cannot be known
Better than you know me 

Your eyes in which we sleep
We together
Have made for my man’s gleam
A better fate than for the common nights 

Your eyes in which I travel
Have given to signs along the roads
A meaning alien to the earth 

In your eyes who reveal to us
Our endless solitude 

Are no longer what they thought themselves to be 

You cannot be known
Better than I know you.
