Marat
Today they need you because you are going to suffer for them
They need you and they honor the urn which holds your ashes
Tomorrow they will come back and smash that urn
and they will ask
Marat who was Marat
[...]
(pauses, breathing heavily)
And when I vanish
I want all trace of my existence
to be wiped out

Peter Weiss. Marat/Sade. Marion Boyars Publishing, 1982. Pp.54-56
