Two Poems, Two Poets: Rimbaud’s and Eluard’s Similar Views on Dreams

Along with the influences of the exotic movement, the trips, which the poets and the writers experienced either by imagining or by actually visiting the foreign countries, have always directed them to search for “a new place.” the concept has changed dimension in the poems of surrealist poets such as rimbaud in the 19th century and paul eluard in the 20th century and gained meaning as a denial of reality and a reflection of inner nature and imagination (dream). the research subject in this study is how the poets fictitiously reflect their dreams of “the other” or “another place” from their imagination into words, therefore the aim is to analyze the images which form their dreams within the comparative literature method. this article shows how the subject poets meet in the same imagination (dream) world, though half a century apart, by comparing one poem from each poet in an analytical way and by bringing out the similarities and connecting dimensions of their images which are formed in their dreams.
