Two poems that Éluard would include in the collection *L’Amour la Poésie* (1929) and which are offered here to Bousquet, editor of the journal *Chantiers*, with a signed autograph note: “If you like these two poems, I’ll give them to you. When will you write to me?” “His Eyes Are Holes of Light,” poem II of the first part titled “Premièrement,” was published in advance of the collection in *Chantiers* in February 1929. “Armure de proie,” poem IV from *Comme une image*, the third part of the same collection. Handwritten cross-outs or corrections on 5 lines. (Éluard, *Œuvres complètes I*, Bibliothèque de la Pléiade, I, pp. 229 and 256.)
