Pygmalion and the Image
1903
Pygmalion and the Image is a narrative poem by William Morris, first published in 1903, that explores themes of love, artistry, and divine intervention. It retells the Greek myth of Pygmalion, a sculptor who falls in love with his own statue, longing for it to come to life. The poem examines the deep emotional connection between the creator and his creation, reflecting Victorian interests in classical legends and the transformative power of art. Included in Morris's larger collection 'The Earthly Paradise,' it highlights the beauty of craftsmanship and the nature of desire.
