Eluard felt an affinity with Walt Whitman, whose Leaves of Grass he read many times over. Although his suffering pervaded his writings, Eluard's outlook remained hopeful he was moved by a strong desire to change the world and to alleviate its misery. During his recuperation he read a great deal of poetry, including the works of Arthur Rimbaud. Shortly after his return to Paris, he entered the army and served in the trenches he was discharged with gangrene of the bronchi. His studies were interrupted by illness, and at sixteen he left for a sanatorium in Davos, Switzerland, where he spent a year and a half. He was an excellent student as a young boy, but after his family moved to Paris, Éluard was registered at the Ecole Primaire Superieure Colbert, where, by his own admission, he did poorly. On December 14, 1895, Paul Eluard was born as Eugene Grindel on the outskirts of Paris.
