That seemed to thaw my marble into flesh;

Its cold, hard substance throbbed with active life,

My limbs grew supple, and I moved—I lived!

Lived in the ecstasy of new born life;

Lived in the love of him that fashioned me;

Lived in a thousand tangled thoughts of hope,

Love, gratitude, thoughts that resolved themselves

Into one word, that word, Pygmalion!

(Kneels to him.)

Pyg. I have no words to tell thee of my joy,
