A sculptor was set to work to carve a new one from the ruin.
Then he raised his head and exclaimed: "I have something for you that will please you." "Nothing ever pleases me now she is dead." "Yes, yes indeed," replied the young sculptor eagerly.

"Oh!" cried Selene, and her large heavy eyes brightened with a sunny gleam.
I have met with no school of sculpture belonging to the early part of the eighteenth century to which they can be plausibly assigned; and the supposition that they are the work of some unknown local genius who was not led up to and left no successors may be dismissed, for the work is too scholarly to have come from anyone but a trained sculptor.
The cry is for the indulgence of some fiery passion for an hour, and then, perdition! if you like since that is the recognised price of it."

Michael Angelo’s humble reply was dated February 8, 1507.

She determined to take Ninitta home and do for her all that was necessary, in order that the sculptor be spared the remorse which would pursue him if harm came to his old betrothed.
