Note 19 — Chapter XI · THE BARRICADE OF THE RUE MESLAY
T. H. Joyce translation
A young man, I can name him, for he is dead—Pierre Tissié,19 who was a workman, and who also was a poet, had worked during a portion of the morning at the barricades, and at the moment when the firing began he went away, stating as his reason that they would not give him a gun. In the barricade they had said, "There is one who is afraid."
