Ciência e Caridade (1897) - Pablo Picasso

Os
olhos fitos, além de curiosidade exprimem medo. Nos braços de alguém que por
caridade o segura, a criança sofre antecipadamente a saudade daquela que está
partindo.&nbsp; Seu aspecto não demonstra tudo
àquilo que realmente ela sente. A pouca idade não a deixa entender o sofrimento
que está por vir.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A mulher, deitada na cama, olhos
cerrados, uma mão sobre o colo, a outra caída nas mãos do médico, ela sabe que
são seus últimos momentos e, que logo este corpo destruído não lhe servirá mais
como morada. Seus olhos estão sobre a pobre criança e, com a tristeza de um
semblante preocupado, ela recusa a água oferecida pela freira. A pobreza
daquela casinha está estampada nas paredes sujas, nos cobertores simples e na
roupa do menino.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Uma luz ilumina o quarto, mas a
sombra que o penetra ganha força, é o manto da morte que começa a ser lançado
e, cai lentamente sobre a moribunda, começando pelos seus pés, para chegar,
finalmente a consumi-la.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; O médico verifica a pulsação do
coração com atenciosidade e preocupação, mas, já não há o que fazer, o tempo
correu rapidamente, fazendo questão de entregar aos poucos a encomenda que a
morte enviou àquela mulher. Agora, só lhe resta esperar... Esperar que a luz
não tenha mais brilho e, que a caridade lhe cuide do filho, que em poucas horas
será um órfão.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Muito tempo talvez este homem tenha
estudado, muitas coisas tenha vivido e, conhecido através do seu honroso
trabalho de salvar vidas, mas, agora, sua impotência é tão certa como a noite
que chega e, toda sua ciência não lhe serve para ressuscitar uma vida que se
esvaire por suas mãos.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; A religiosa que segura o menino
tenta parecer despreocupada, entregando sua vocação de forma intensa na ajuda
aos pobres, ela se doa à caridade de sustentar nos braços o futuro menino sem mãe
e, ao mesmo tempo, oferece a agonizante um copo de água, a substância mais
pura.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Aos poucos os olhos da mãe-morrendo
começam a se fechar. Aos poucos, suas preocupações perdem espaço. Aos poucos, a
luz de um olhar triste começa a se apagar e, a morte recolhe, com satisfação,
mais uma prenda. Nos sonhos daquele menino, este pesadelo vai fazer morada e,
as lembranças marcarão a sua vida, até que um dia, ele também seja posto sobre
os ombros largos da deusa do fim e, finalmente encontre os olhos tristes de sua
mãe com o brilho da paz.
