Illusion, sister of Icarus

According to Greek mythology, Icarus, used the wings designed by his father Daedalus to escape from imprisonment. Ignoring Daedalus's warning, the young man flew too near to the sun; the wax with which the feathers of his wings were attached melted so that Icarus fell into the sea and drowned. The young man dares to try 'Fall of Illusion', marble, Musée Rodinthe impossible and strives for freedom. The carelessness leading to his fall does not diminuish the grandiosity of his entreprise.据希腊神话记载，伊卡洛斯（Icarus）借助父亲代达罗斯（Daedalus）设计的翅膀逃离了囚禁之所。他无视代达罗斯的告诫，肆意飞得离太阳过近，用以固定翼上羽毛的蜡随之融化，最终伊卡洛斯坠入海中溺亡。这位敢于挑战不可能、为自由而奋斗的年轻人，正是大理石作品《幻象的陨落》（Fall of Illusion）的原型，该作品现陈列于罗丹博物馆（Musée Rodin）。即便坠落源于他的疏忽大意，也丝毫未曾削弱其壮举的宏伟气魄。
