From Ovid's Metamorphosis

 

"Pygmalion carved a figure, brilliantly, out of snow-white ivory, no mortal woman, and fell in love with his own creation. The features are those of a real girl, who, you might think, lived, and wished to move, if modesty did not forbid it.

Indeed, art hides his art. He marvels: and passion, for this bodily image, consumes his heart. "
