One never gives up on a comrade in the Resistance... Put yourself to sleep with that word in your head. It is the most beautiful, in this dark time, in the French language. You couldn't have known it was coined while they were destroying you in here. Sleep. I promise to teach it to you.
La France vivant, saignante, est toute dans les profondeurs. C'est vers l'ombre qu'elle tourne son visage inconnu et vrai. Peuple que, dans les catacombes de la révolte, forme sa lumière et trouve sa propre loi.
[Living, bleeding France persists in the depths. She turns her true, unknown face toward the shadows. In the catacombs of their revolt, the people are her light and find her own laws.]
