«testis abest somno, nec abest imitata voluptas.

[…]

ut meminisse iuvat! Quamvis brevis illa voluptas

noxque fuit praeceps et coeptis invida nostris».

Durante il sonno non c’è osservatore alcuno, ma non manca un piacere che riproduce quello vero.

[…]

Che piacere ricordare! anche se quel piacere fu breve e la notte precipitò, gelosa di quanto avevamo iniziato».

– Ovidio, Metamorfosi, IX, vv. 481; 485-486
