There is a famous story about Michelangelo and his masterful sculpture of Moses, which you can view at Rome's Basilica di San Pietro in Vincoli. After finishing Moses, the artist was so impressed with the life-like qualities of his work that he hit the statue on its knee and said "Parla!" -- Speak! To Michelangelo, such perfection of form had to do more than mimic life -- it had to live. Falling in love with the work is part of the creative process. The culmination of a masterpiece is to endow it with its own spirit.
