Narcisse Quellien

Narcisse Quellien (born June 27, 1848 in La Roche-Derrien , † March 16, 1902 in Paris ) was a French journalist and poet.

Life

Narcisse Quellien was a son of Guillaume Quellien and his wife Françoise Jaffrezou. He first attended the "Petit Seminar" in Tréguir and then moved to Paris. Quellin published many poems in Breton and French, including Annaïk (1880), L'Argot des nomades en basse Bretagne (1886) and Contes et Nouvelles du pays de Tréguier et Breizh (1898).

After he was run over by Agamemnon Schliemann on the boulevard du Port-Royal at rue Bertholet around ten in the morning on March 16, 1902 , he was taken unconscious to the Cochin Hospital, where he died 20 minutes later. He left behind his wife and two sons. Quellien, who had lived in rue d'Assas 118, was initially buried temporarily in Paris, but later reburied in his home town. On the Place du Pouliet in La Roche-Derrien there is a stele with a medallion of Quelliens, which was created by Paul Le Goff and Yves Hernot . The memorial from 1912, which initially stood in the cemetery, bears several inscriptions: The medallion reads: NARCISSE QUELLIEN / 1848 / 1902. The front of the stele bears the inscription: HON INE GWENN VEL ER MINN / PELECH'H A GOUSKO HE C'HNIK / ME CAREE WAR CALON MAMMIC / N. QUELLIEN. It is signed on the left with P. Le Goff.
