With a restless and profound nature, Eielson explored his intellectual gifts by nourishing himself with universal literature, European philosophy, as well as the scientific paradigms of the 19th and 20th centuries. At the same time, he opened a space of spiritual search within Zen Buddhism. This multiple perspective made him become aware of the world and reality from his own experience as an exile and nomad; but this is only a small expression of his versatility, since he found inpoetry and art the last redoubt of an almost extinct humanism, of a humanism that could be practiced in the margins of modern exhibitionism. Thus, poetry was not a simple linguistic exercise or artistic creation, but, in a more complex way, a place of political resistance. Poetry was for Eielson the last redoubt from which one could be a legitimate shaman.
