This passage originates from the Greek Myth 'Echo and Narcissus'.
Explanation:

- While Echo loves Narcissus, he shows no interest in her. Echo continues to yearn for Narcissus until she ultimately fades away, leaving just her voice behind.

Unable to seize his image, he remains by the water until he succumbs to starvation.
