L'ÉTERNITÉ Arthur Rimbaud

Elle est retrouvée, the opening verse of

Elle est retrouvée, Quoi?

L'Éternité.

leaves a strong impression in Godard's work

It seems to be a cry to believe that there is an eternity that remains even after one's own extinction.

The Polish poem by C.K. Norwid, quoted in the film Ashes and Diamonds, is also about eternity.

It may be the glimmer of life that remains when all is extinguished.

For the philosopher M. Foucault, eternity is a persona written in the sand after the disappearance of human.
