Leo Palustre

On October 26, 1894 Fr. Dehon notes in his diary: "I receive the message of the death of my friend Palustre. Rarely has a death impressed me so much. Palustre was 55 years old. We had lived together for three years almost like brothers. We made journeys together to England, Germany and to the Middle East. Yet after that we met very often. He was for me like a half brother. He's gone to his eternal judgement, my turn will come. He leaves a reputation as an archaeologist and artist. He was president of the French Archaeological Society. He published beautiful works, particularly his study of the Renaissance in France. But what is still more valuable: he was a faith filled man who died as a christian." (NQT X/1894, 151f.)
