What is the theme in Mad Love by Andre Breton?

The sunflower is a theme. There are references to flowers throughout Mad Love but the most important flower is the sunflower. First mentioned in Section 4, the sunflower appears as both a plant and as poems. Quoting a snippet from a poem "In Paris the Tour Saint-Jacques swaying / Like a sunflower," the flower is linked to the tour that Breton and Lamba pass by (pg. 47.) The tower is a common phallic symbol but despite the sunflower's height, it does not seem to be coded as a male object in Mad Love. Rather the sunflower is seen as feminine.
