'The Capital of Pain' ??

If I remember correctly, Lemmy reads from a book of poetry entitled (in French) "The Capital of Pain." Anyone know the author ? Or was it something made up by Godard ?

Thanks in advance !

It's a poetry book from Paul Eluard, La Capitale de la Douleur, in French, published in 1926
