Soon after a death, we ask ourselves the following: How could it have happened? Couldn’t it have been avoided? Goya shows several doctors gathered around a patient. The caption reads: “What will he die from?” It’s certain he will die, but we have to provide a name for that death. That’s what worries doctors; isn’t it what everyone worries about? After a result they declare to be “fatal,” and whose fatality should cut short any desire for further research, they begin an inquiry to discover the assassin! But the assassin is nature, and it is she who, from our very first day, makes us a gift of the last.
