yes-- i think Marat would be forgotten, except for the haunting image of his death.

i remember the table, at the foot of the bath, and the darkness, of the scene, and Marat is holding a book, (or has it fallen? is it just below his arm? which is hanging out of the bath? is his murderer in the shadows? or is it that we see from his pallor that he is dead?) and yet, the image of the death of Marat is so strong..

Joan baez did a song, too, about Marat--is any one have more luck than me in googling?

one image-- but not the one i was thinking of.

the one i was thinking of, had Marat facing the other way- head on right side, feet on the left..
