In fact, Saint-Just was something of a Robespierre groupie. He scared away a lot of Robespierre’s other friends though. Camille Desmoulins, with whom he shared a nice warm mutual antipathy, commented that Saint-Just “carried his head as if it were the Holy Sacrament.” Saint-Just in his oh-so-loveable way was said to have retorted “I’ll make him carry his head like Saint Dennis—-in a basket.” With such a wonderful sense of humor one wonders why the boy didn’t have more friends.
