Today's Stichomancy for Kurt Vonnegut

The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from All's Well That Ends Well by William Shakespeare:

Since the physician at your father's died? He was much fam'd.

BERTRAM. Some six months since, my lord.

KING. If he were living, I would try him yet;-- Lend me an arm;--the rest have worn me out With several applications:--nature and sickness Debate it at their leisure. Welcome, count; My son's no dearer.

BERTRAM.
