AB - René Char is a poet who believed, like Rimbaud, that poetry and love must be the only laws of life and world, and the most important influences on man. He pursued the idea and model of unity of poetry, action, and life, and regarded resistance against the violence of contemporary history as a poet's duty to uphold. In particular, the experience of Résistance against German occupation further strengthened his principle of immediate effectiveness of his poetry. Char's poetry and love were a matter of the relationship of the human being with the world in which he lives. Char saw the biggest enemy that threatens human life in the scientific rationalistic material civilization of the present day, and found the power of resistance to fight against the enemy in the wisdom learned at the school of Nature, and upheld in the hearts and minds of simple men. To him, poetry was an art of trust and love for the nature-world law beyond human reasoning. The nature-world exists instantly and transparently, but its transparency and immediacy itself constitute a mystery to resist human language. For this reason, his poems shape the face of truth and beauty of the world through its myriad ubiquitous traces in nature. In this respect, the characteristics of the rupture and fragmentation of the words shown by his representative love poem, "Lettera amorosa", in describing the iris are consistent with his principle of the ultimate concrete effectiveness of poetry and love on the hearts of mankind.
