Three artists in Rome befriend a young Italian count who is the living double of a marble faun. He kills a man for the woman he loves, and the crime turns a happy animal into a person with a conscience.

I did what your eyes bade me do, when I asked them with mine, as I held the wretch over the precipice!
The Marble Faun, Nathaniel Hawthorne
